Rudi Gernreich’s provocative “no-bra” bra was a wireless, paddingfree style that adapted to the natural shape of the breasts. It was available in numerous shades of sheer nylon that were intended to blend in with the wearer’s skin. The especially short hemline of Gernreich’s half-slip was ideal for wear beneath miniskirts.
