What Katie DidThe costume department for the new Peaky Blinders film sourced several pieces from us during production; including our most historically accurate bra. 🧵

Our CC09 bra is based on a British CC41 Utility Scheme bra pattern from the 1940s, recreating wartime lingerie construction as faithfully as possible.

Many original 1940s bras used very little elastic, relying on structured fabric and traditional band sizing to create the period silhouette..
This level of authenticity is exactly why costume departments often seek out reproduction lingerie for historical productions.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man lands on Netflix this week: we’ll definitely be watching to see if we can spot our pieces.
