Bullet bra
A full-support bra with cups in the shape of a paraboloid with its axis perpendicular to the breast. The bullet bra often features concentric circles or spirals of decorative stitching centered on the nipples. Invented in the late-1940s, they became popular in the 1950s due to 'sweater girl' pin ups such as Mamie Van Doren and others. Madonna wore a bullet bra designed by Jean Paul Gaultier during her "Blond Ambition Tour" which generated popular interest in vintage fashion. Vintage lingerie company "What Katie Did" was the first company to put the bullet bra back into production in 1999, and it has again grown in popularity with brands such as Marks and Spencer, Rigby and Peller, and Naturana producing their own version of the bullet bra.
