Answer
The modern bra was patented by Caresse Crosby in 1914. Her design was the first to use a flexible underwire and cups that separated the breasts. Crosby's bra was a major improvement over the corsets and other restrictive undergarments that were popular at the time. It allowed women to move more freely and comfortably, and it helped to create a more natural shape for the bust.
