Bullet Bras

I posted this picture of Jayne Mansfield on my Facebook page today.

So I thought I would share with you some of history's best bullet bra looks.

There was nothing subtle about the bullet bra.

The bullet bra was invented in the 1940s but was made popular with thanks to the sweater pin up girls of the 50s.

  1. Wow, a bullet bra! Where can I find a (hard/stiff) bullet bra in a 46-48? The bigger the cup, the better. I've looked but can't find one. My mom used to own these types of bras. They were very firm and sexy! I was always tempted to try one on. One day I did. I was so embarrassed when she caught me!

  2. Just keep searching in thrift shops. Maybe you will find one.
