Found in a palace chamber

Women's underwear used 500 years ago
Lace and linen underwear have been around for hundreds of years before women's underwear even existed.
They had been hidden in a vault beneath the floorboards of an Austrian castle since the 15th century.
Despite their state of decay, they hold more shape than today's popular string bikinis. The bra has modern Eva fitted cups and delicate straps.
It is believed that they were buried when the building was enlarged in 1480 and the dry weather prevented the fragile garments from breaking down over the centuries.
Women's underwear in the Middle Ages

Until now, it was assumed that bras were invented in the modern era. A textile discovery examined by an archaeologist now refutes this story. As far back as the 15th century, garments similar to modern bras existed.
Archaeologists have made a sensational discovery at Lengberg Castle near Nikolsdorf in East Tyrol: During extensive restoration work under the direction of Harald Stadler of the Institute of Archaeology, researchers found 2,700 pieces of cloth from the 15th century. The "textiles" were used with other materials, mostly organic materials, as fillers such as leather shoes. Much of the filler material was brought into the chamber during the raising of a floor system in the three-story building to level the floor. The special feature is that it has four fabrics that are similar to modern bras.
Different fabrics in that filling
Consists of more than 2,700 material parts. A variety of textile shapes were revealed, including a number of almost completely preserved clothing items as well as fragments of linen cloth with sparse remnants of earlier woolen garments, fragments of collars and linen shirts, and preserved textile buttons and associated buttons. They were found as part of women's clothing as well as children's clothing and men's clothing.
“There was also a perfectly preserved linen undergarment, and a piece of cloth made of red and blue wool.
Four types of linen similar to modern bras were found. “Two other dismembered specimens appear to be a combination of a bra and a short shirt. They are garments that end directly below the bust.
15th century invention
Carbon 14 testing specifically carried out on fiber samples from two bras confirmed that they were pieces of fabric in the 15th century. So far there is no evidence of bras with visible cups before the 19th century. "Medieval written sources are somewhat vague on the subject. Sometimes 'breast pockets' or 'sacked shirts' are mentioned in the past" "Other sources refer only to chest straps to tie large breasts to the body. Today, the "inventors" of the bra Among them are Hermine Caddoll in the late 18th century and Mary Phelps Jacob, who received a US patent in 1914. "Aside from the 'bra' with a relatively small cup size, the other three 'bras' found have very large cups. This discovery is unique so far and is an important addition to the history of textiles.
In 2008, these old clothes were found during the restoration work of Lenberg Castle in East Tyrol. The textile researcher examined them and made a startling discovery: Among the old pieces of cloth were four bras along with a pair of underwear. ” Another floor was given to the palace in the second half of the 15th century. In the works of that time, old fabrics were often applied to the ceiling as padding. Eva sent fiber samples from a bra and two pieces of underwear to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. There they were traced using the radiocarbon method. It is confirmed that this cloth was used between 1440 and 1485. Those who thought that bras were not developed until the 19th century have changed their minds...the oldest patent for bras dates back to 1856 in the United States of America. Although women's underwear already existed in ancient times, the Greeks wore so-called "chest girdles", simple cloth bands wrapped around the chest. Sewing cups are still considered a modern development today.
The underwear set actually looks like a current bikini collection.
Underwear was only for men at the time.There is a 15th century painting by Dior called "Men's Bathing", some gentlemen wearing this model. It looks very playful. Today, men's underwear is like boxers. But in the 15th and 16th centuries tights became fashionable and underwear became increasingly scarce.
