What is a bra?
Bra is one of the underwear used by women, also called bust, bra, bra or bra. Its function is to cover and support the breast.

There are different opinions about the origin of the Bra, but most people think that it originated in France and is called "brasère" (BRA for short). Medieval European aristocrats wore very tight corsets. Later, because the corset was too troublesome, two handkerchiefs were used to make a corset, which became the prototype of a modern bra.

Bra model consists of bra size and cup size. Generally speaking, a woman's bust refers to the length of a circle around her breast along her nipple. The bra size refers to the female lower bust, that is, the length of a circle around the breast along the root of the female breast. The cup size refers to the difference between the female bust minus the lower bust.
