The History of the Sports Bra

The sports bra was invented in 1977, at the height of the women’s liberation movement and the first jogging craze. It was created by a woman named Lisa Lindahl, her friend Smith who had costume-making experience, and was bankrolled by funds that assistant Hinda Schreiber Miller secured from her parents.

The first sports bra was two jockstraps sewn together
