At 2AM one morning, I went down a research rabbithole: what did the Ancient Greek people do for underwear, more specifically bust support? That led me to learn about the Ancient Greek "bra" (it's not really a bra, well it sort of is. I guess that could be the closest modern equivalent). In this video, I discuss my research and findings, as well as do a little experimental archaeology by recreating the "bra" (strophion) and wearing it myself to see if it actually works as bust support.
