Summer dresses with bras showing

Is this a thing now?
Over the last couple of weeks I've seen dozens of women wearing dresses which show their bras.
Not just straps but strapless or low backed dresses with a giant m&s boulder holder with the straps, top of the front and most of the back showing.
When I were a lass Wink that wasn't something I saw anyone do. Is it normal now or do I live in a weird fashion microcosm?

Straps are fine, I really can’t get offended over a chuffing bra strap. Not so cool seeing the whole bra, mind...

On a similar note, I bought a beautiful dress but it was a little bit see through.

I spent AGES trying to find a simple petticoat to wear underneath. I didn't want shape wear, no spanx, just something simple to cover my pants. It felt like I was shopping for something Victorian!

When I finally found one I mentioned it to a (much, much) younger friend and she was like wow, that's a genius idea, I've never heard of such a thing. 🙈🙄

@HeronLanyon you get me wrong - I have literally no opinion on what other people wear or look like. I do have an opinion on people who judge others for really pointless and I consequential stuff like this. I like to live by the principle ‘those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind’.

dog Apols. Thought no opinion was as valid and can be as strong as any other !

I don’t mind. I certainly show my bra straps and prob the back of my bra. I have conditions so am restricted with underwear/clothes i can wear. If my bra is showing and it bothers people, it’s their problem, not mine!
Didn’t realise my bra showing made me a slut Hmm

I saw a woman yesterday wearing a vest top without a bra. All you could literally see are her erected nipples Blush

I'm old enough to remember when it wasn't the done thing, but I've got used to it now. Personally I feel happier in a bra that isn't lacy or obviously underwear if it's going to be on show, more of a crop top or plain tshirt bra. Then it just looks more like wearing layers than having your undies on show. Not that I care what other women wear though, it's up to the individual.

I think people showing underwear are slovenly. Whether they say they are a boy or girl or unicorn. Whether it is pants or bra. It is underwear or clothes you wear underneath your outer clothes.
