Mary Phelps Jacob in 1910 decided that the whalebone corsets that she had to wear were just too uncomfortable, so, while getting ready for a ball in New York, she took two silk handkerchiefs and some pink ribbon and made the first bra. In France women wore the Bandeau after Caesar's conquest of Gaul. In the 12th century women wore the basquine which was a sort of corset in rigid fabric surrounding the waist. About a century later the gourgandine (hussy) or bodice is worn on top of a corset.
