Vintage Bullet Bra "Angle-Action" Softcup Bra by Bi-Flex



This truly authentic vintage softcup bra is amazing in its design alone, but add the original manufacturer's box and its a one-of-a-kind. Well, mostly. We've actually got two of these beauties. One in size 32A, in a matching box and one in size 34A in a box for a 32B. Both of the boxes have some damage to the tops, but the 32B box is in significantly better shape.



Marketing lingo from the box says:
"'Angle-Action' straps float all tension off bosom and shoulders."
"4-section circular-stitched cups mold gently but firmly."
"Stitched non-curl band prevents rolling."
"Classic center section for perfect fit and heavenly comfort."



These bullet bras are made from 100% cotton and have small elastic panels in the front center and at the back where the hook and eye closures are for a customized fit. Comes with old-style adjustable straps. These will go fast, as previous experience would tell me, so if you're interested - snap them up quickly. Bullet bras aren't easy to find anymore, especially with the original manufacturer's packaging.

Vintage Bestform Garterbelt with light Boning





This is a pretty unique find. I actually had to ask one of the girls here if this was a garterbelt or a girdle. I've decided its a little bit of both.

Its cut long enough in the back to give the rump some cover, but short enough in the hips and front to allow for some serious leg movement. Manufactured by Bestform, this is one of those garments you look at and know its going to last. Its got three pieces of flexible boning in the front to keep down the tummy pooch, flat lying seams, and no-stretch control panels. There are only two stretch panels on this garterbelt, along the hips made from a nylon/ rubber blend. This small bit of elastic paneling allows for movement and customizeable fit in an otherwise rigid garment.



The cut is high enough on the front part of the thighs to allow for freedom of movement, and there are two small shaping darts in the back for rump room. The embroidered floral pattern throughout the body is a nice touch adding elegance and style. The center panel is attached using a very sturdy stitch pattern that leaves just a hint of space for a touch of mystery. It attaches on the left front side with hook and eye closures. Four permanently attached garters are fully adjustable.

This piece has never been worn and still has the original Bestform tags attached. Style #03128, in white, size 28.
