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 hard-to-find and nearly sold-out-everywhere Shirley of Hollywood Platinum Collection, inspired by Marilyn Monroe, is from a couple of years ago. Lingerie from this line crop up every now and then, but not often! The Shirley of Hollywood Platinum Collection is made with soft charmeuse satin, sparkle knit, trapunto stitch cups, lace and lace overlay and is very reminiscent of glamorous Old Hollywood. Colors include black, platinum white, red and black and a little pink too.
The Shirley of Hollywood Platinum Collection is not to be confused with another Marilyn Monroe inspired collection they also came out with a few years after this one – which looked *shudder* hideous. They made a small print of her face and added polka dots and ruffles in satin. The entire collection looked more Minnie Mouse than Marilyn Monroe, in my opinion.
Onto the Platinum Collection! I think it’s, by far, the best Marilyn Monroe inspired lingerie collection out there. Some of those I’ve seen just kind of hint at Marilyn’s style, but this one gets it spot on.
Marilyn actually only wore a corset in a few period films, like the River of No Return
. She did not, in real life, need to wear a corset. But these are beautifully done and inspired by her! I can see where they took the inspiration from. These would be gorgeous for a burlesque routine when you want that classy glitz and glam.The first corset from the left, with the bow, is also available in Red & Black and plus sizes at Amazon.
The second is only still availble in Black/Silver at Amazon.
The third, which is the most stunning of the three can also be worn strapless. It’s available in sizes 36 and 38 right now, from this page at Amazon
.All of these corsets can also be found at the Pampered Passions Shirley of Hollywood section, in plus sizes as well.
These first two corsets are actually the same corset! This satin corset enhanced with trapunto and lace is completely reversible – two looks in one! The third is a stretch lace teddiette, also available in red. The first corset can be found here at Amazon
and the third here. Again, all of them are available at the Pampered Passions Shirley of Hollywood section.I think this is the best out of their entire collection and that’s saying something! Excellent job, Shirley of Hollywood! I want more of this!
The entire set includes the red satin bra top with softly padded under wired clips, adjustable shoulder straps, stretch mesh bra back, with hook and eye closure. The romper is made in stretch knit with a super scoop neckline and red satin sash. I think this playful suit looks best with matching wedges for a true pinup girl look. Get it here at Amazon.
I love the rhinestone accent on the black Starstruck Sparkle knit bustier. Bustier features a rhinestone applique, fashion boning, and hook and eye closure in the back. Comes with a matching G-string panty. Sized according to your bra band size. Found here on Amazon.
The Starstruck Sparkle romantic knit mini dress has slimming boning to enhance your figure and a halter neck. Get it here on Amazon.
Romantic Marilyn Monroe inspired charmeuse babydoll has slightly padded under wired cups, romantic ruffles and a waste-slimming bow. Comes with the g-string and Shirley of Hollywood signature Marilyn Rhinestone Star. Available up to a size large and only in ivory, here on Amazon
. This babydoll is available in all colors and all sizes (including plus sizes) in the Shirley of Hollywood section on Pampered Passions.What do you think of this collection? Does it pay homage to Marilyn? Comment below and tell me what you think!

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!
The biggest concern I hear when women consider buying a bullet bra is that it’ll make their breasts look a little too pointy. Frederick’s of Hollywood has the solution! A completely “modern” bullet bra featured in The ICON collection. It features the gorgeous circular Trapunto stitching found on bullet bras but they’re not very pointy. ICON is a cutting-edge collection of modern designs in the most luxurious fabrics, inspired by Frederick’s own sexy heritage.
This glamorous bra is richly fabricated in rose stretch silk with black trim and knotted bows in true vintage fashion. Trapunto stitching on pointed foam cups creates the most dramatic detail and lift. Over-the-bust wire plus stunning deep plunge shapes and frames your cleavage. Adjustable straps, hook-n-eye back closures.
The Up and Out Chemise is designed in sumptuous black stretch silk and power mesh. Richly designed with trapunto circle stitching. Adjustable garters and gartered straps. Fine shapewear seaming adds beautiful, signature detail.
The Paris Picture Corset is a glamorous hourglass design richly fabricated in black stretch silk with bow and trim in beautiful vintage rose. Trapunto stitching on pointed foam cups creates the most dramatic detail and lift. Over-the-bust wire plus stunning deep plunge shapes and frames your cleavage. Lace-up back and side hook-n-eye closures. Garters are detachable and adjustable. Matching G-string.
THE ICON COLLECTION BY FREDERICKS HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED.
Kylie Minogue’s new single ‘All The Lovers’ was released last Monday and it’s accompanied by a suitably risque video in which Kylie wears some retro style lingerie you might recognize! The bra and knickers were made by Jean Paul Gaultier. However, What Katie Did‘s Padded Bullet Bra is very, very similar, as are their Maitresse Deep Knickers, and are a much more affordable option!
