Ever heard of bullet bra? No, no, its not something dangerous like bullet, but these are bras with extremely conical sharp points. If we define bullet bra we can say it is a full-support bra with cups in the shape of a paraboloid with its axis perpendicular to the breast.
Invented in late-1940’s, they became quite popular in 1950’s. They were made famous by the sweater girls, Even Madona wore bullet bra designed by Jean Paul in 1990.
