Maidenform Bras

I thought you girls may enjoy these...and I sure hope this is allowed in here!!

I've always adored these ads, and gosh, they're so bizzare!!! When I first saw these I laughed hysterically, and then was thrilled when I found out that there was a whole line of these ads. I believe they started in the early 50's and ran until the late 60's. Every one of these ads begins with "I dreamed I..." and from the looks of it, at the beginning of the ads they were just cute little sayings like the ad below "I dreamed I played chess in my maiden form bra" etc. , and as they got more comfortable and creative with their ads they started tying the tag lines in with the pictures like another ad below "I dreamed I stopped them in their tracks in my Maidenform Bra". And keep in mind, these are only ten ads, you can find SO many of these on the internet and in old magazines, and some of them are just so odd!

Enjoy!! And if this post is inappropriate, please let me know and I will be sure to delete it.

Rumor is, that picture (above) is of a young Jayne Mansfield, I don't know how much I actually believe that, but thats up to you girls to decide. This also happens to be one of my favorite ones.

Ha! Those are spectacular!

I think my favorite on is the last one--ruffled PANTS! In front of a train. Well, what else would one wear?

I think that TV show "America's Next Top Model" could do a nice riff off of these ads.

Thanks for sharing Madison!

Oh my gosh, That would be amazing. Except they'd probably put some lame modern twist on them, but still, that would be so wonderful. I want to remake them!!!

Haha! I've seen that one in a magazine, but couldn't find it online!! My favorite thing about all of these ads, is that not only are they just so weird, but in every picture, they're fully clothed, accessories and all, and just missing a shirt. They're just done so well!
