With the Bullet Bra Sew-Along this week, I thought it would be fun to check out some pre-made pointy bras for a girl on a budget. Not all of us wear vintage underwear and with the wear and tear that bras take, it's a good idea to have a modern back-up for daily wear. Here are some of my favorite cheap vintage style bras, some more bullet-bra like than others but all provide a general vintage silhouette. The exquisite form bras are my absolute favorite- perfect for ladies with a very full cup size.
This time, let's indulge in a splurge of the week. This is the "Her Sexcellency Overwire Bra" from Dita's limited edition Von Follies line. Unfortunately, it's not available in larger sizes but it sure is pretty to look at and fun to get some inspiration for our sew-along!Stay tuned tomorrow for Day 2 of our Sew-Along!
Thank you so much for posting this. I love the idea of making my own bras (which is why I am reading your sew-along, when I feel more confident in my abilities this will be one of my projects) but for the moment I am buying modern over the shoulder boulder holders. LOL These are great examples of modern wardrobe with a nod to the classic looks. And the price tags aren't bad either!
