Ye Olde Demonetization Bait - Making A Medieval Bra

Historybounding while busty is a challenge, so I adapted a medieval bra design for modern wear. That's right, historical bust support isn't just corsets and stays. Before the boned support garments there came something that looks a lot like the longline bras worn in the mid-20th century, if you just add a skirt: The Lengberg Castle "brassiere," a textile find from Austria.
