Sweater girl describes a fashion look made popular in the 1940s and 1950s by Hollywood actresses such as Lana Turner and Jane Russell which was exemplified by a tight sweater which emphasized the bustline.[1][2] In its original form the image was often tied to the promotion of new bra technology.
The look caught on for awhile, and returned again in the 1960s, when it was sometimes wrongly also associated with the "no bra" trend among feminists, who followed the fashion statements of Yves St. Laurent.[citation needed] The style is no longer a fad, but the look has become a minor icon of popular fashion and culture.[citation needed]
Sweater Girl was also the name of a 1942 film written by Robert Blees and Beulah Marie Dix, directed by William Clemens and starring Eddie Bracken, June Preisser and Phillip Terry.[3]
