Looks like it probably was women, there is no way a man could come up
with something that complicated.
The First Bra Was Made of Handkerchiefs - The Atlantic
The bra was not invented on November 3, 1914. Women have been
binding and otherwise supporting their breasts for, literally, ages;
the first bras may well date back to ancient Greece, where women
would wrap bands of fabric across their chests, tying or pinning
them in the back. And the "brassiere," as a widespread concept—the
word comes from the French for "upper arm"—is generally thought
to have originated with the DeBevoise Company, which used the term in
advertisements for its whale-bone-supported camisoles.
(French, then as now, had a certain je ne sais quoi with English-speaking
consumers.) Vogue began talking about brassieres in 1907; in 1911, the
word merited an entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.
But the bra—the garment that lifts and separates, via cups and straps—became
part of the world, officially, on November 3, 1914. That was the day the
United States Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent to Mary
Phelps Jacobs for the garment she called a "brassiere."

Mom sewed clothes for us. Mom dyed and softened sackcloth that looked just like that once. It was for a Christmas decoration. (We were tasked to turn it into a lacey design by removing rows of thread in it carefully. Mom was no fool. She did that to keep us busy instead of trying to kill each other. lol) I feared she was softening it to turn it into a dress for me, so particularly NOT that dress.
