TORPEDO TITS!!!

and now, the story. my father had 7 sisters. SEVEN. and so, things were purchased so that the most usage could be got out of them, for example, ALL sewing patterns were bought in a size 12, then you were measured and the pattern folded and adjusted accordingly. (or let out. you get the idea.)

anyway. when "first bra time" came, a 34B was bought, no matter the size of the girl. and if the girl was too small in the cup for the bra? it was turned inside out and a seam sewn straight across. my aunts were hysterical with laughter screeching "WE ALL HAD SQUARE TITS!"

...we're a rather earthy family. ;)

The number of times I have wished for the ability to leave them on my bedside table while I'm trying to get to sleep...

You still can!

I have friends who wear vintage clothes, and a lot of them won't fit right without undergarments in the style of the same time period.

Those look really uncomfortable.

We always called them bullet-bras. But I really like the alternative of Torpedo Tits.

I learned something today!

My, ladies, you're packing some serious ordnance there. Talk about weapons of mass distraction!

Those pointy things would be fantastic on a '54 Cadillac! Imagine the hood ornament value.

I wish I could get one of these and wear it to work under a tight sweater without saying anything. I only ever wear sports, bras so I'm not known for busty-ness. One of these wold either make people laugh or turn away shy. :-)
