A vintage bra is generally a bra which has been around for quite some time. Unchanged in any way, sometimes the best bra that you can have in your underwear collection is a vintage bra.

Where to Find Vintage Bras

Vintage bras are usually better found online. In most lingerie stores today you will only find the latest bras around and whilst some are based on originals, most are just complete brand new. Online you will find plenty of vintage style bras to choose from and you will even find the classic vintage bullet bra.

Bullet bras are basically bras which are pointy, exactly like Madonna’s famous bras in her earlier music videos. They caused a huge stir and whilst they are not really worn today, bullet bras are still popular amongst some women. Vintage teenform bras are also good examples of vintage bras.

Another popular type of vintage bra is the vintage Maidenform bra. Made to give huggable comfort and excellent support, it is a bra which changed many women’s lives within the fifties and sixties. Many ads were created advertising the bra and women everywhere were amazed by these new advances in bra technology. One of the best things about the Maidenform bra was that it came in a variety of colors whereas many other bras did not.

Most vintage bras and stockings came in pure white colors and they were quite plain. Almost all vintage bra patterns were the same and whilst some did have a lot of flowery pattern on them, because the bras were white you could not really tell the different patterns apart and they all more or less looked the same.

One popular type of vintage bra included the corset. These have made a slight comeback these days and corset tops are especially popular. Corsets were one of the first types of bras available and the Victorians absolutely loved them.

Overall vintage bras do vary slightly and there are many types available. If you would like to see them you could always take a look at vintage bra photos which you can find online. There you will see exactly which bras people used to wear and it may make you feel slightly nostalgic if you are an older woman. Sometimes wearing vintage bras is a way in which we can connect to our pasts and to the women who used to wear them too.
