Cadolle recognized the restrictive nature of traditional corsets and began experimenting with ways to improve comfort and support for women. Her initial focus was on redesigning the corset to alleviate pressure on the waist and ribcage.

The creation of the 'corselet gorge' was a pivotal moment. This innovation involved dividing the corset into two separate parts – one supporting the breasts and another shaping the waist. This was a radical departure from traditional corsetry.

Cadolle continued to refine the 'corselet gorge,' experimenting with different materials, straps, and closures to improve fit and comfort. The design gained popularity among women seeking a more comfortable and liberating alternative to the traditional corset.

Following Herminie's passing, the Cadolle Lingerie House continued to evolve the bra design, incorporating new materials and technologies to enhance support, comfort, and aesthetics. They contributed significantly to the bra's transformation into the modern garment we know today.
