Hello all! Happy! Friday!
So with my renewed love of vintage lingerie thriving thanks
to the current cooler weather, I thought I’d bring back Frisky Friday posts!
This week I decided to do a post on a piece I purchased from The Nylon Swish at
the last Sydney Rock n Roll markets and its completely changed my perception of
my naturally smaller bust.
The GENUINE VINTAGE BRA BY MARCEL WORTH - STYLE 738 (as modelled above by The Nylon Swish is a truly perfect piece of vintage lingerie. I knew I had to have it the moment I saw it at the markets and being my birthday, I allowed a splurge and I bought myself one. It’s a purchase that I don’t think I’ll ever regret.
It’s no secret that I’m not that well-endowed anymore bust
wise. I lost 2-3 cup sizes (brand depending) when I was in hospital for a
serious kidney infection in 2013 and my bust never really ‘recovered’. As such
I’d taken to wearing push up bras and padded bras because I really struggled
with the loss of this part of myself. It often made me feel like less of woman
to be so bottom heavy and now so teeny ontop. It’s still something I’m only
really comfortable with half the time. This meant that I struggled with the
idea of a vintage bra, because the lack of padding meant my teeny bust would be
noticeably teeny. But when I saw the bra at the markets, I knew I had to have
it.
The first time wearing it, I noticed how comfortable it was.
It was uncomfortable as I have found past long line styles to be. The lower
back and wide clips at the back meant that it doesn’t create any back bulge, somewhere
that for me is currently a problem area. I have to wear bullet bra pads with
mine to fill it fully, but overall I love the way it looks on my body. I was
concerned it would be too tight around the middle, but the thickness of the
band means it doesn’t dig in. I also love that I can wear it under a corset to
really eliminate any major back bulge and I found my underwire bras used to dig
in where my corset sat. This isn’t a problem I have anymore. As you can see below,
it’s a versatile little goodie, being able to be worn multiple ways, though my favorite is with a suspender belt.
It’s really become my go to bra and prompted me to begin
looking at expanding my vintage bra collection.
The Nylon Swish still has some of these babies in stock, so
if you’d like one click here to see if she has your size.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and I look forward to
hopefully bringing you more Frisky
Friday posts in the future!
Til tomorrow!
