Bra (Early 1900s)
Mary Phelps Jacob was looking for an alternative to the ubiquitous and sometimes unsightly corset. She ended up creating a bra using a handkerchief and ribbon. Jacob was awarded a patent in 1914 and would later sell her business to Warner Brothers Corset Company for $1,500.
胸罩(20世紀初)
瑪麗?菲爾普斯?雅各布在尋找一種能替代無處不在、有時很不雅觀的緊身胸衣的東西。最后她用手帕和緞帶制造出了一個胸罩。雅各布因這一發(fā)明在1914年被授予專利,之后她以1500美元的價格將這一專利權出售給華納兄弟緊身胸衣公司。
