What? Ever heard of the Wonderbra?
But that was a specific bra with a specific intent to increase size with padding. It snowballed from there to I think what was called a “T-shirt bra” or something, and then suddenly all bras of all types had some level of padding in them unless you shopped specifically for an “unlined” bra which became increasingly scarce. At least now it seems to be swinging back a bit from that extreme so that there are some unlined options or padded options where the padding is removable. To me, the padded bra trend wasn’t all that different from the pointy bras of the 50s - prefer something more natural.
