DD wears lingerie as a shirt

She's 18 and wanted a lingerie inspired camisole and thought she found one at a thrift store. We told her it was actual lingerie and not a shirt, but she wouldn't listen to us. But she posted a video on social media that was taken down as adult content because of her "shirt." The internet has spoken. That's not a shirt.

Bloody hell, what about when wonderbras and sheer tops were all the rage! That literally was going out in underwear, and we rocked it! She's 18, embrace her confidence and tell her how amazing she looks.
Oh yes, did this too!! I'd forgotten. It was one of the wonderbras with the air pump in, for adjustable boobiness.

@SirSamuelVimes haha, I'd forgot about the pumpable ones Grin

MonicaGellerBing · 28/12/2021 13:40

I used to wear a wonderbra underneath a suit jacket and no other top! It was very fashionable to show your bra back when I was 18!

When I was 18 we used to make a “top” out of a pair of fishnet tights (preferably neon) with the crotch and feet cut off. You put your head through the crotch, the legs became the arms and the waist came just under your boobs. This was teamed up with a wonder bra and those combat trousers the sat just abound your pubic line and had bits hanging off them, oh and a naturally flat stomach. Of course you needed a diamanté thong poking out the top. I wish I had a picture, I bet I looked awesome!
Oh wow ,you win the thread !

And so agree with Oh to be 18 and to be able to do this shit. Make sure she had a copy of the picture so that when she's older she can look back and go, god I was awesome.

rooarsome · 28/12/2021 13:42

To be young again! I did exactly the same thing at her age.

sjxoxo · 28/12/2021 13:43

Wearing lingerie style tops (or skirts tbh) or actual lingerie as a top is a mega trend atm!
Can she wear it over a Tshirt to preserve a bit more modesty… xo

@Thickasmincepie

Doesn't the Internet remember the days of going out in a see-through dress with teeny shorts and a bra underneath?

Or wearing tiny slips with fishnet tights? I used to have a black underslip that I nicked off my mum. I used to wear it for work (barmaid) with combat boots.

Ah yes - see through mesh tops with a wonder bra under. Cami slip tops. Skirts shorter than a boob tube and jeans so low your thong was visible over the top. Bebo never complained 😆
CeCeSchmidt · 28/12/2021 13:46

Ahh, the days of a satin slip from Markies as a dress to go clubbing in. With a little
sheer but fluffy crop top over it and space buns.

@MichelleScarn

And for other 90s teens who remembers the chainmail or butterfly tops like this? Am sure l wore something similar to the y2k party I went to!
Yes! I wore a top like this to a NYE party in 2001 I think. I mean, what was I thinking?!

RestingPandaFace · 28/12/2021 14:02

Oh those were the days.

Going to really date myself now. Indigo Jeans, kitten heels and a camisole as a top with a little cardigan if it was cold.

RestingPandaFace · 28/12/2021 14:04

Or as above a wonder bra with a sheer or fishnet top over.

God I feel old today!

fluoropostit · 28/12/2021 14:14

Black twenties-style silk chiffon nightie from NY thrift store cut off into a top - check. Wore it until it fell apart, with fluffy cream cardie with diamante buttons on top.

silk slip as dress, fishnets, chunky boots or indeed white high heeled ankle boots - check

White lace dress with purple wonderbra underneath - check. Red or Dead shoes with chain across them.

Olive green tulle top with irridescent beads sewn on in a flower spray (H&M) over a - wait for it - green snakeskin pleather boobtube. Much eyeliner and pale lipgloss, diesel jeans and aforementioned white ankle boots. Some kind of tousled razored mullet affair for hair.

The nineties and early noughties were amazing.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 28/12/2021 14:17

DSis got married in a nightie. It was aCalvin Klein nighty, but a nighty non the less.

tcjotm · 28/12/2021 14:19

She needs to wear it! So she has these similar wonderful memories.

I had a fav camisole top bought in the lingerie section. It was so delightfully slinky feeling.

Marimaur · 28/12/2021 14:19

I wore lingerie slips/vintage silk nighties as dresses and lacey bra ‘tops’ as crop tops in my 20s.

Wandawide · 28/12/2021 14:20

Wow 'Red or Dead' day-dream about them this afternoon now.

tcjotm · 28/12/2021 14:20

So, so amazing. I’m feeling really nostalgic about glitter gel suddenly.

DickMabutt73962 · 28/12/2021 14:21

This was definitely a style in the early 2000s.

Helpstopthepain · 28/12/2021 14:24

I think we need to bring this style back

BarefootHippieChick · 28/12/2021 14:26

Absolutely queenrollo

Oh to be back in 1991 again!

I was in my goth phase by then, so I did a variation of that look.

Black fishnets over a black bra, with either a tartan miniskirt or skin tight PVC leggings. Add chains and dog collars and black lippy and I was ready for a night out (to my dad's horror)

MelonTits · 28/12/2021 14:34

another one who wore a silky see-through camisole as a going-out top when I was 18-21 ish. Oh, I miss those days. Would definitely have slapped pics of it all over Instagram had such a thing existed.

MelonTits · 28/12/2021 14:36

Am also clearly the same age as @MedusasBadHairDay and @LadyCatStark with the arm-tights/bra/combats look. Early 00s teen fashion was wild

Bluntness100 · 28/12/2021 14:36

Not one of these posted would be removed as adult content 🤣
