This garment takes its name from the conical shape of the cups made for this type or brassiere, which resemble the tips of bullets. These bras were especially popular during the pin-up era of the mid 20th century, and many models of that time were seen in these types of bras. While the bullet bra ultimately lost popularity due to changing manufacturing techniques and fashion trends, there are still some fans of vintage lingerie who appreciate these garments.

Also called torpedo or cone bra, bullet bra is particular style of brassiere designed to provide greater shape and support for woman’s bust, prior to the use of underwire and padding in bras at the end of the 20th century. These bras were typically made from satin or nylon and usually consisted of several round pieces of fabric, sometimes connected by “spokes” that extended from the center of each cup outward.

Models and actresses of that time greatly popularized the bullet bra, and the wearing of these brassieres beneath fairly tight sweaters led to fashion style known as the “sweater girl” look. The shape of woman’s bust while wearing this type of bra was often accentuated by wearing such sweater, which created an attractive visual profile for the wearer. Actresses such as Marilyn Monroe and Lana Turner made these brassieres and the “sweater girl” looks quite famous.

The bullet bra was ultimately victim of changing technology and fashion, however, and largely went out of popularity in the 1960s. Underwire and padding were introduced to bras at that time, and though these were initially fairly uncomfortable, the support and shape provided by such garments were still desirable. In the late 1960s and 1970s, movements were made by many women toward abandoning brassieres completely or demanding more comfortable garments. The singer Madonna returned the bullet bra to the public eye in the 1990s, after which they remained popular garment within niche vintage lingerie market.
