A Brief Uplifting Illustrated History of the Bra

In the first episode of the new Ted Ed series “Moments of Vision” entitled “How the Bra was Invented“, narrator and animator Jessica Oreck offered an uplifting explanation as to how and why the bra was invented while building a tiny illustrated bra of her own.
