Records only go back as far as around 1100 A.D. where English colonies had sent ships out and a number of them returned bearing reports about native women on tropical islands using hollowed out coconut halves to protect and support their breasts during long periods wading through water whilst spear-fishing.

You may have noticed in a variety of Cartoons, native women are depicted this way so in a strange way, cartoons are depicting a historically accurate fact.

Following those reports the English experimented with a number of different materials, and it spread to all the different countries until the bra has become what it is today.
