Sweater girl
The term Sweater girl was made popular in the 1940s and 1950s to describe Hollywood actresses like Lana Turner, Jayne Mansfield, and Jane Russell, who adopted the popular fashion of wearing tight sweaters over a cone- or bullet-shaped bra that emphasized the woman's bustline. The term was virtually synonymous with "pin-up girl," a popular culture trope of the Second World War referring to the pretty girls whose pictures adorned soldiers' barracks.
The sweater girl trend was not confined to Hollywood and was viewed with alarm by some. In 1949 a Pittsburgh police superintendent even singled out the sweater girl as a symptom of the moral decline of postwar youth:
== Fashion influence ==
New, soft fabrics like cashmere and angora were being used to make sweaters. The conical shape bra, sometimes called a bullet bra, raises and separates her breasts. In its original form, the look was often tied to the promotion of new bra technology.
Interest in the bullet bra increased after Madonna wore a cone bra during her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour.〔(Madonna on the Blond Ambition World Tour )〕 The bra was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier who was inspired by the vintage Perma-Lift bullet bra of the 1940s. By that time, the style was regarded as erotic and provocative. The bullet bra has also become popular with burlesque and rockabilly enthusiasts, both of which draw inspiration from the 1950s.
