When we say “Vintage Womens Clothing”, of course we have a special emphasis on Lingerie. We have been checking out a web site that specializes in this line – “What Katie Did“ They ship worldwide and have a range of lingerie that’s a must to explore!
| For those Mel Brooks movie fans who remember “Nurse Diesel” (Cloris Leachman), in “High Anxiety” you will no doubt also remember her outstanding features, brought into prominence with the Bullet Bra. Maybe somewhat exaggerated, but you get the idea. |

Apart from the bullet bra there is a great selection of other vintage womens clothing classics, or retro clothes. Also in several styles from an overbust or underbust corset, to those items variously called suspenders, garters or simply stocking holders, as well as the stockings to be suspended, fully fashioned or fancy.
Cabaret Range – The Classic “Bullet Bra”
Vintage Womens Clothing the Bullet Bra
Just an example from their “Cabaret” range, here is their description of the Cabaret Bullet Bra:
A wickedly sensuous version of our signature bullet bra. Constructed from sheer black organza, with circle-stitched cups and a satin band, the fit and figure enhancing properties are the same as those of all our bullet bras; but the sheer fabric gives it a decidedly decadent edge! You can see why we named this saucy range after the convention-breaking cabaret music halls of the 1920s and 1930s!
As the bullet bra is a particularly 1950s style, you may be wondering whether sheer fabrics were used in this way back then. The answer is ‘yes’, though they would often be mixed with opaque fabrics, for example, satin at the bottom of the cup and a sheer top. We thought we’d make this just a touch more daring!
