A<unk> , short for<unk> ssiere or<unk> ssière (, or ; ), is a form-fitting undergarment that is primarily used to support women's breasts. It can serve a wide range of other practical and aesthetic purposes, including enhancing or reducing the appearance of breast size, creating cleavage, or concealing the visibility of nipples beneath clothing.<unk> s can also serve specific functions, such as nursing<unk> s to facilitate breastfeeding or sports<unk> s to reduce breast movement during exercise. The<unk>  gained widespread adoption in the early twentieth century, when it largely replaced the corset. The first modern<unk>  is attributed to Mary Phelps Jacob, a New York socialite who created the garment in 1910 by using two handkerchiefs and some ribbon. She patented her design in 1914, but soon sold her patent to the Warner Brothers Corset Company, which began mass-producing the garment. A typical<unk>  consists of a chest band that wraps around the torso, supporting two breast cups that are held in place by shoulder straps. A<unk>  is usually closed in the back by a hook and eye fastener. However,<unk> s are available in a large range of styles, whose designs can vary widely. Initially the<unk>  was exclusively an undergarment, but bikini tops and sports<unk> s gradually gained acceptance as outerwear, as did fashions that deliberately exposed<unk>  straps.<unk> s have gained symbolic significance beyond their mere functionality. Since a girl typically begins wearing her first<unk>  during puberty, the garment can symbolize a rite of passage to adulthood. However, some feminists have argued that<unk> s sexualize and objectify women's breasts to conform to male expectations.
