The first bra is an important moment as it marks one of the steps on the journey from the child to the adult. I'm sure that there are many GG out there who remember the experience, some of these memories will be good, some probably not so good. But what about us? I know that many of us started dressing at a an early age , I was about 4 years old when I first ventured into my mother's realm, and even at that age, I would put on a bra, quite simply because my mother wore a bra, and I was copying her. Anyway, as I grew older, I started wanting to have my own clothes, and the first one I collected was, my first bra. I suppose at this time, I would have been about 10 or 11, much the same age that girls were getting their first bra. I wonder if it was noticing that the girls of my own age had started to wear a bra, that prompted me to want one of my own? Anyway, as you can imagine, my experience wasn't the same as I expect it to be for many girls, when they head up to the shop in town, to be ritually measured and fitted, no, for me it was somewhat different. One day I was in my mother's room enjoying the feel of her clothes when I noticed that she had put a bra in the rubbish bin to be thrown out. I decided that I was going to have that bra and so, to cover my tracks, I earned some brownie points by emptying all the upstairs bins into the outside dustbin. Everything, that is, except the bra. That I kept. When I got it back inside I saw that she had discarded it because on of the straps had come adrift and needed to be sewn back, and so, after a quick repair, I had my own first bra. Does anyone else remember their first bra and how they came about getting it?
