Here's a preview:

After realizing that Bob’s one night stand has left without a trace, leaving only her bra and a note, “Remember Me.” 

He laments:  

“Remember Me?” That’s all, said she?

And all I know is that she’s a “B.” 

She left her bra and nothing more, 

One night together and she was out the door.

But she’s a girl I’ll never forget,

I guess I’ll just call her… Brabette. 

Thus he begins a journey into the history of the bra... 

With only a souvenir of Brabette, 

I started to wonder what the heck?

What is the history of this sweet object?

Little did I know that the bra evolved, 

From a simple strap - into a trap!

A corset made of bones and tight laces, 

To the creation of the bra in many phases.

There’s the flapper with the flat boob style,

To Wonderbras, bullet bras.

That made men smile,

But bras have an amazing history.

And thanks to my new obsession… 

Let’s see. 

Thus, Bob embarks on a journey to uncover the history of this essential and complex piece of clothing – the BRA. His adventure takes him back to its origins in ancient Greece, then through the Middle Ages, where the corset made its first appearance and eventually became the dominant undergarment throughout the Victorian era. Along the way, Bob discovers the many inventors who crafted, refined, and transformed the modern bra in the post-Victorian era. He also explores how styles evolved: from the flat-chested flappers of the Roaring Twenties to the fuller, more voluptuous silhouettes of the 1940s, influenced by Hollywood glamour. Bob delves into the billion-dollar bra industry by investigating bullet bras, Wonderbras, Victoria’s Secret bras, and training bras. He even examines the urban legend of bra burning.

Through archival footage, music, and images, you'll learn more about the bra than you ever imagined possible.
