History of the Bra

Bras were supposed to be a fairly modern invention that replaced the corset. But now a 600 year old bra has been discovered in an Austrian castle, suggesting women went from to bras to corsets and back to bras. Also, back in the day, women didn't wear panties. Here's the link:

I hope you found it as interesting as I did.

  1. I find it interesting that women didnt wear knickers back then and that men did to represent power and dominance.

    I do find history fascinating and we can learn from old discoveries and yet somethings never change, as its said history often repeats itself.

  2. Tori: Yes,how interesting that some doms show their power and dominance by not letting their subs wear knickers or panties. History does repeat itself.

  3. I would love to NOT to have to wear a bra at all, Sir, but as you know that is an impossibility!

    1. I understand my good girl. One thing I've never asked you to do is not wear one.

      Plus I love the idea of unfastening it.

  4. Interesting little bit of history there. Today some people get to uptight when a woman goes without panties. It is a mystery to me why. Seems like it is a personal choice to me.

    1. Yes, a personal choice unless she is told not to wear them. Remember the first scene in the Story of O when she is in the car and told to take them off?

  5. Florida Dom,

    Thank you for sharing such an interesting article. I think it's really neat that some women wore bras that far back in history.

    As far as no panties, I'd rather wear them. I feel so naked without them in public. It's all in my mind, but still. When Daddy has me not wear them, he knows it makes me extra submissive.

    Love,
    Kitty

    1. Wearing or not wearing panties can be about a lot more than just panties.

  6. That was very interesting indeed. I really dislike wearing both bra's and panties. they are usualyy the first things to come off when I get home from work, even before my shoes. I always consider a bonus when I am told to go without.

    1. Have you always disliked them or get tired of them at some point?
