Some Frenchman named Brassiere (really) and I think he did it to enhance his girlfriend's bustline, making the first one out of ribbons and soft cloth. We should thank him because it got women out of corsets and camisoles.

450BC-285AD The Greeks wore a bodice tied above the breasts, leaving the breasts naked. The wearing of corsets was prohibited so they used "the Apodesme" which was a small band of material wrapped round the breast, largely for functional reasons - to prevent the breasts moving when walking. The Roman women adopted the apodesme as worn by the Greeks, but the name was changed to "mamillare", "fascia" etc. Young women wore the fascia to prevent the growth of their breasts whilst the mamillare was used to conceal a very large breast.
4th Century AD The Chemise first appeared in the 4th century, was made of linen and looked like a tunic. The Chemise was gathered into a round or square neckline. It was frequently embroidered and finished with a frill. At that time they usually had long sleeves and were finished with wrist ruffles.
Here is the link with the history for you.

I've wondered the same thing. Actually I don't think they are healthy. I mean, ok as a fashion thing if you need the support or as a shape enhancer. As for me I can't stand em and only wear one if the occasion calls for it - like some fashions really should have a bra under them. BTW- I am definately not flat-chested and things seem to be holding up just fine!.

Don't wear them, the idea was probably brought up by some prude.
