She was wearing a crochet top with no bra underneath

Just curious as to what other people would make of this? I was in Jamaica recently, and one night at the bar (in a family hotel), a woman of about 35/40 years old, was wearing a crochet top, with quite large holes in it, with no bra underneath. Breasts and nipples clearly on show. At some points she as chatting with groups of local men, at another point she plonked herself down at the table with me, my DH and some other people. No idea who she was actually with. Is it me, or is this really inappropriate?

Clearly she was looking for a reaction

katielilly · 31/12/2019 20:36

It's inappropriate but maybe she has a psychiatric condition that makes her uninhibited?

JamesBlonde1 · 31/12/2019 20:37

The OP made the comment about the size of her own breasts as PPs were inferring she was jealous. Which clearly she is not. Who wants their kids thinking that's normal?

The woman has a screw loose - nowt to be jealous about there Grin.

It not exactly normal dress, but who knows what’s going on in head, or life to pass comment on her.
Why are you posting op, are you considering buying a similar top, or are you wanting us to speculate why she was dressed that way.

Longblondeandblueeyes · 31/12/2019 20:39

Your comment that you weren’t bothered because your boobs are way bigger than this ladies i find strange though

Yes, I can see what you mean. In my first marriage, my DH was a serial cheat and I had really small boobs. In my current marriage, my DH is just lovely and I sorted out my "ahem" boob issue with a very good boob job, so I have no boob envy at all. But oh, 15 years ago, I would have felt dreadfully inadequate and my ex would have been eyeing her tits and dribbling. Ha ha.

I’d find that weird and attention seeking behaviour.

gamerwidow · 31/12/2019 20:39

Depends on the boobs really. I think women with small breasts can get away with this more than women with big boobs can.
With small boobs it might have been quite chic in a kind of hippy bohemian way. With big boobs it would have looked a bit page 3.

gamerwidow · 31/12/2019 20:41

i think men prefer smaller, perkier boobs these days
I think probably men like a whole range of boobs just like they always have.

DamnShesaSexyChick · 31/12/2019 20:42

If she wants to embarrass herself that's her problem, I wouldn't give it another thought.

TryingToBeBold · 31/12/2019 20:49

I regularly don't wear a bra.. Confused

Wallywobbles · 31/12/2019 20:50

@TryingToBeBold do you regularly wear a crochet top?

TryingToBeBold · 31/12/2019 20:51

I do wear a tshirt but I honestly think Its obviously that's what she is comfortable with.

lottiedelavega · 31/12/2019 20:51

Are you sure you've dealt with the issues from your previous relationship op. I mean mentally, not just physically. Your recent update seems makes it more understandable as to why you've posted this in the first place.

TryingToBeBold · 31/12/2019 20:51

I actually do have a crochet top (lingerie type bodysuit) that I've worn on a night out with a skirt.. yes.

ragged · 31/12/2019 20:54

Maybe was a prossie.

QueefLatifah · 31/12/2019 20:54

@TryingToBeBold
Have you been to Jamaica lately

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 31/12/2019 20:55

Oh OP, this is really sad. You were so insecure with your body you had surgery to ‘fix’ it and now can’t deal with someone else not giving a fuck.

Justmuddlingalong · 31/12/2019 20:55

So when you had small tits you would have felt inadequate, but now you have bigger tits, you suddenly find her showing her nips inappropriate. That sounds like you have more booby issues than her tbh.

girlygirl98 · 31/12/2019 20:55

I kid you not, I went to a teaching interview with someone wearing one of these, no bra, very voluptuous. She beat 7 candidates. I still marvel at the memory years later

pegasus02 · 31/12/2019 20:57

OP that's strange, I can see why you were Shock about it. Probably attention-seeking or feeling carefree as on holiday?

Some posters are being ridiculous. Of course it's bizarre wearing a crochet top with no bra. It shows a complete lack of awareness. It's a restaurant, not a beach.

Hazybobs · 31/12/2019 20:58

I’d probably be a little surprised but it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. Perhaps she’d just come from the pool or beach?

SonjaMorgan · 31/12/2019 20:59

I wouldn't be comfortable with my DH or DS walking around with no top. What other people do is up to them though.

3luckystars · 31/12/2019 21:00

Put a vest on because jamaican me stressed.

bobstersmum · 31/12/2019 21:03

Haven't we had a thread like this quite recently, someone doing the school run in a see through or crochet top and no bra? Sounds familiar.

Longblondeandblueeyes · 31/12/2019 21:04

I have no insecurities whatsoever, my boobs are fab! But I do find this very odd behaviour. Defo dressed up for the night, and had not just come from the pool or beach.
