…SORT OF! The Astronauts did not wear ACTUAL bras, but their Apollo Spacesuits were made by the Platex Company, and were made of 24 layers of fabric. Who makes a better stretch fabric than a BRA maker!
One stitch at a time, the seemstresses at Playtex had a mission, and baby it was NOT easy: 100% acuracy…and they did it! Not ONE stitch was pulled on any of the space suits that went to the moon!
