Original "Wonder-Bra" design
Before the Second World War broke out, elastic materials were rationed and unavailable for clothing. Israel Pilot designed an improved cup with a diagonal slash, shoulder strap attachment. This innovation on existing bra design provided more comfort and freedom of movement for the wearer.[5] He also coined the name "Wonder-Bra" in 1935.[6]
Israel Pilot's US patent 2245413, granted in 1941, allowed for greater shoulder strap elasticity by cutting the fabric so that the weave has the greatest stretch (cutting on the "bias"). The photographs show the original patent sketches and close-ups of a bra made in the U.S. by D’Amour. The model is wearing a rare 1950s version of this original Wonder-Bra design.
