The modern bra is a staple in every wardrobe, but did you know it exists thanks to the ingenuity of Mary Phelps Jacob?

💡In 1914, Mary Phelps Jacob refused to be confined by the stiff, restrictive corsets of her time. With two silk handkerchiefs and a ribbon🎀, she crafted the first-ever backless brassiere—proving that innovation often starts with a simple idea and a bold decision. Her creation didn’t just change fashion; it empowered 💪 women to embrace comfort without sacrificing style, paving the way for the shapewear we know and love today.

A Fashion Revolution Jacob’s creation wasn’t just about style—it was about freedom. ✨As women embraced more active lifestyles, the demand for flexible undergarments grew. Her design sparked a movement that led to today’s shapewear innovations, proving that comfort and confidence👗should always go hand in hand.

💡 Fun Fact: She sold her patent for just $1,500. Decades later, the lingerie industry would become a billion-dollar empire! 💰

At Squeem, we celebrate women like Mary who challenge conventions and redefine confidence. Because whether it’s through fashion, innovation, or self-expression, the best designs are the ones that make us feel unstoppable. 💃💖
