Molded Cup Bras

Molded cup bras emerged with modern textile manufacturing in the mid-20th century, when fabrics and foam began to be heat-shaped into seamless cups rather than stitched panels. This technology created the smooth, naturally rounded silhouette that remains invisible under clothing. In 1970, Gossard Glossies by Gossard introduced a groundbreaking sheer molded design that gave lingerie a transparent, “second-skin” appearance and became a major success during the era of sexual revolution and women’s liberation. Today, Lavinia’s molded cup collection includes sheer, padded, and breathable spacer bras - all designed to combine modern comfort with refined European lingerie craftsmanship.
