You either love them or hate them, but most of us want to try them!
Bullet Bra’s were the ultimate lingerie accessory for women of the 1940s. It created a ‘Sweater Girl’ look made famous by Hollywood legends like Marilyn Monroe.
Also affectionately known as ‘the cone bra’ or ‘the torpedo’, the bullet bra certainly made its presence felt at that time and is now reliving its revival.
The bullet bra has cone cups that accentuate the breast giving the wearer ‘pointy’ assets, and combined with a tight fitting sweater the ultimate ‘Pin Up Girl’ look can be achieved.
The original Bullet Bras were made from Nylon and Satin and were reinforced with circular stitching. Manufacturers for Curvaceous Beauties have adapted original patterns to create the modern day version of the bra, and they ensure that the style and the original designs are not compromised.
By 1979 around 90 million Bullet Bras were sold world wide, but were about to go out of fashion. Women’s needs were changing. The introduction of underwire and padding produced a more natural and comfortable shape that women wanted. As the lingerie market flooded with more suitable bras, the Bullet Bra faded away.
All was not lost – Madonna famously resurrected the Bullet Bra during her ‘Blonde Ambition’ tour in the 1990s and with thanks to modern day burlesque performers, the bullet bra love affair has started all over again.
