It was in 1914 that Mary Phelps Jacob set women freefrom the prison of the corset. With a little help from her ladys maid, this ingenious New York socialite stitched together two handkerchiefs and a long pink ribbon to fashion the worlds first-ever brassiere. (Jacob later sold her patent for $1,500to a company that went on to make $15millionoff her invention.) The rest, as they say, is historya history thats amply, titillatingly documented by designer Cheree Berry inHoorah for the Bra.
