Pink Spiral Cup Crochet Bra
Date: c. 1930s
Origin: Great Britain
Fabric: Cotton
Brand: Custom made
Crochet brassieres were first popularised in the 1930s, giving the lightly lifted bust line that was so fashionable for the time period, with a number of crochet patterns available for home crafting.
This example was crocheted as a two pieces and has a spiral pattern over the bust forming a gently pointed shape. The shoulder straps are crocheted, attaching to the bust apex with bone buttons. The original bra had a button fastening at the centre front but this has been altered and stitched over into one piece. Katie's Pinterest page was altered into a new fastening, with a small piece of silk knitted elastic, hand stitched button loops and shell buttons.
