Archeologist Beatrix Nutz, of the University of Innstruck, has discovered 600 year old bras, long before the first bras were thought to have been used, in the 19th century.
The discovery of the four linen bras was made while renovating an ancient Austrian castle.
"Medieval written sources are rather vague on the topic of female breast support, sometimes mentioning 'bags for the breasts' or 'shirts with bags'," Nutz says in a statement on the university's website. "Other sources only mention breast-bands to bind down over-sized breasts."
