Mary Phelps was a New York socialite in the early 1900s. Mary was preparing to go to a dance and wanted some extra support. So, she sewed handkerchiefs together to create the first modern bra.
Bras have made some huge advancements over the years, but we can all thank Mary Phelps for patenting the bra we all know and love (and love taking off the second we get home!) This is definitely one of our favourite fun facts about fashion!
