The History of 1950s Bras

In the 1950s, the fashion world turned its attention to creating the perfect hourglass figure, with particular emphasis on an enhanced bustline. As the post-war era ushered in a return to femininity, bullet and conical bras became the foundation of every fashionable woman's wardrobe. Before the advent of modern breast augmentation, these ingeniously designed bras were the secret weapon for achieving a more pronounced silhouette, creating a larger bust measurement than any other style available.

The Perfect Bra for 1940s, 1950s and 1960s Fashion

The influence of bullet bras was so profound that clothing from the mid-1940s through the mid-1960s was specifically designed to accommodate their distinctive shape. Vintage and reproduction dresses from this era feature strategically placed bust darts that work in harmony with the bra's conical form. For authenticity in vintage fashion, a bullet bra isn't just an option – it's essential for achieving that crisp, period-perfect silhouette.

Our Conical Bra Collection

Our bullet bras feature specialized spiral stitching that creates the classic "torpedo" shape iconic to the 1950s. This authentic construction technique not only provides the distinctive silhouette but also ensures proper support and structure. Each bra is carefully crafted to combine historical accuracy with modern comfort, produced in the same factory that has been making our celebrated designs since 2004.

Whether you're seeking Hollywood glamour, authentic vintage style, or a statement piece for contemporary fashion, our bullet bras provide the foundation for an iconic silhouette that has stood the test of time.
