I'm sure you all know the advantages (and disadvantages) of wearing a bra, so let's focus on the retro styles we stock. Quite simply, the easiest way of obtaining an authentic retro silhouette is investing in a bullet or longline bra.

Breast shapes go in and out of fashion just as much as anything else. In the 1920s we binded our breast to appear flat chested, whilst more recently we've been pumping vast amounts of silicone into our bodies for that perfect shape. The ideal breast shape of the 1950s was a cone shape, pointing proudly outwards and upwards.

Wearing a bullet bra gives you a great 1950s silhouette but if you're feeling a little self conscious a longline bra still gives you the right outline but in a less extreme form. A longline bra is also perfect for wearing with full skirted dresses if you want a little shaping but don't want to wear a girdle.
