M&S lingerie has a rich heritage, launching their very first bra in 1926! And to celebrate the 2012 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in the UK, they’ve dug into the unique M&S Archives to take inspiration from the lingerie styles which were popular in the Marks and Spencer ranges 60 years ago.
In the early 1950s, bras came in three sizes; small, medium and large. Today M&S sell over 40 sizes in many of their bra ranges, with cup sizes ranging from an AA cup through to a K cup! (If you’re a big busted lady, I highly recommend buying bras from Marks & Spencer – they really know how to make a supportive bra!)
Iconic 1950s lingerie styles included sweater girl conical bras, flirty french knickers, slinky teddies, shaping corselettes and suspender girdles. These 1950s, vintage styles inspired M&S talented designers to create these unique, sassy, archive-inspired, Limited Collection lingerie, sleepwear and sexy shaping underpinnings.
My absolute favorite, must-have from this collection is the Limited Collection Vintage Satin Bra (shown above).

Secrets In Lace has been making Bullet Bras since 1999 and over the years their Bullet Bras have become second to none in fit and design. The Satin and Sheer Coquette Bullet Bra Collection have all the nostalgic vintage details you expect with a trapunto circle stitch soft cup to create a sexy projection, perfect under sweaters or blouses. Their Lace Overlay grouping is a bit more rounded in the cup and is pretty enough to show thorough a semi sheer blouse. Becoming a true “sweater girl” is easy with Secrets in Lace bullet bras! But, just remember to keep your fashion 1950s style and you’ll be fine. Bullet bras definitely don’t work under tight t-shirts, ladies!

The Vollers Red Cat Satin Corset with Spiral Cups
I wonder if by spiral cups they mean Trapunto stitching or more of a bullet bra shape? I’m not sure by looking at the photo.
THIS IS NOW CLOSED.
Rihanna is featured in GQ magazine (UK edition) in WKD’s Padded Bullet Bra! Except GQ photoshopped out the trapunto stitching in the cups. Whatever, it’s still gorgeous!
Notes about WKD’s padded bullet bra
We’re sorry to say that we neglected smaller busted ladies for too long, and we hope to make amends with this offering – our revolutionary padded bullet bra! We know smaller busts look spectacular in our bullet bras, and there’s less of a risk of having someone’s eye out; though we realize full cups can leave smaller bosoms looking and feeling deflated. And that just won’t do!
Starting at an A-cup, this padded version of our signature bra features the same circle stitching, but the light padding ensures the points stay perky without the need for any extra help. This style goes up to a C-cup, and is wonderfully supportive and comfortable, but we won’t be making it in any larger sizes. So if you count yourself among the small-but-perfectly-formed, this one is all for you!
