Thinking about wearing a bra

So who has gone out to find a bra to slip under their shirt - anyone?

I finally wore a bra to work. Two days with 2 different bras. I had a camisole over both. The first I tried was a 36A. It was very comfortable, BUT, by the end of the day, the thing must have pushed up to the point that I filled out the cups. Not necessariy good with a shirt & tie on....

The second day I wore a sports bra. That was not quite as feminine feeling, but it was not noticeable either.

Blessings, Myra

Hi all,

Danielle, you're such a card. God, you had me crying there! The kind of outing I magine for myself when en femme... NOT!

By the way, for all you underdressing bra-wearers out there, here's the famous technique my former GF taught me, and that women use to remove their bra without removing their shirt or blouse (I guess, to be used in case of emergencies!

):

Unclasp your bra (this can be done through your shirt or by reaching up underneath you shirt behind your back), reach far into one of your sleeves and grab hold of the bra strap, pull it down all the way through your sleeve (past your elbow and, once you've crooked your arm, around your hand--the strap will then return up your sleeve), reach far into your other sleeve and grab hold of the bra's other strap, pull it down your arm and all the way out of your shirt or blouse. Voilà! You're now braless (shame on you!

). I can now do this in about five seconds flat.

I tell you, Harry Houdini had nothing to teach a GG!

Love,
CJ

Oh! Not Fair!

It's got the cotton liner.....There goes me using my bra as a double barrelled slingshot!

Really, I think it is a great idea having the liner and have sewn liners into my own bra's occasionally. And for those who want that nice sheer lace look with a pouch for the form, buy a lace bra and unpick one side of the opaque liner attached to the back of the lace. Yeah I know.... or just buy one that already has the liner sewn in as a pocket

But has any one really compared the prices of mastectomy bra's and normal bra's. I know here in Australia the Magic Word to PRICE HIKE is Mastectomy!

Hayley just reminded me of a great idea.

Last year I took a sewing pick and removed the little "tack down" thread on several lace-covered push-up bras. The bra is a full cup size large than my "silicon forms" so they tuck in between the lace and cotton backing very nicely. Plus the cotton backing is puffed up so it fills in the back of the form and gives a full look to everythng that I wear that way and, they are secure. Not enough for my pogo stick but, enough for dancing etc.

Hugs

Danielle

CJ.
How about removing your bra, putting on a tube top and removing your tee-shirt, in the middle of a football field!

I've seen it done and is where I learned how to do it!

I went to Walmart today and got some bras that I can wear with & without forms (flat for going out). Their sport bra area is great and inexpensive.

I realized that even the 38A triangle bras have a hook in back and might show so the pullover bras will work better.

Their website has hardly any apparel.

And the Fruit of the Loom bras were 3 for $9.88

Today, I am going to Marshal Fields to buy a bra in the lingerie department. This is my first time going to shop in a department store for a bra.

Take care,

Laurie Ann

I was at Marshal Fields Dept Store on State Street. I bough a white Playtex Thank Goodness It Fit Bra 38 Nearly C. I also bought a pair of white hipster. I spent less at Marshal Fields than I did at Victorias Secret.

Well VS is a upscale store with upscale prices so finding cheaper one prices in other stores is not uncommon. I have bras from many different places VS I believe has the best because well the quilty is in the price and also I got them durring one of there two annual sales that they have a year. But finding a good buy on something that fits and you like I believe is the best thing that you can you can ever have.

I just brought a new bra which isn't wired at all and it's totally different. I've only ever had wired bras but I think I'll only go with non wired bras from now on
