Can't decide. Looks like a bra but passes for a crop top as it is en vogue.

Thomas Cook have since apologized to the girl saying they could have handled things better.
Woukd you be offended?

It's a bra. Fine for beach not for travelling.

TrixieFranklin · 15/03/2019 12:11

It's a Bralette

TheMuminator2 · 15/03/2019 12:12

I feel if it had a bit more material then it would be fine. Yup for beach ok but on a plane....

I've seen more flesh from women wearing a regular vest!

She doesn't look indecent in the slightest, would it be offensive if she had small denim shorts and a slightly longer top? I doubt it and she would be showing much more in that instance.

Purse it’s enraged.

If it’s a crop top then my baggy jumper I’m wearing is a burqa

Aridane · 15/03/2019 12:14

Eh??? Of course it’s a bra - not Purse it’s enraged FFS

BloodyBosch · 15/03/2019 12:15

She was so 'distressed' she wore the same outfit on the return flight...
It looks like beachwear/ clubbing / underwear really. Odd choice for a flight.

southnownorth · 15/03/2019 12:16

It's a bralette top. My dd wears them all the time.

Ironfloor269 · 15/03/2019 12:17

It's a bra.

GruciusMalfoy · 15/03/2019 12:20

It looks like a bra to me, I think a crop top would usually be more covered up around the cleavage, underarms and back.

Cheby · 15/03/2019 12:20

Doesn’t matter what it was. She wasn’t indecent. She was covered. She’s right, policing her clothes like that is outright misogyny.

Disfordarkchocolate · 15/03/2019 12:22

No matter what it is she didn't deserve to be pawed at the woman sat next to her.

ScreamingValenta · 15/03/2019 12:23

I agree with Cheby, it doesn't matter what the garment was called. She wasn't indecent and should have been left alone.

DailyMailFuckRightOff · 15/03/2019 12:24

Can we call it a Brop Top?

Seriously though, it doesn’t matter what name we give to it.

JellycatElfie · 15/03/2019 12:27

It’s a bralette - I bet she was bloody freezing on the plane!

flowersinaugust · 15/03/2019 12:29

I'd say crop top. I could see it being a bralet but definitely not a bra. I wouldn't think twice if someone wore what she did especially as thats the fashion now

Schuyler · 15/03/2019 12:30

It’s a bralette and I can’t see what’s offensive and inappropriate about her atire for a plane journey.

GruciusMalfoy · 15/03/2019 12:30

I was uncomfortable with the way the woman next to her attempted to turn her around. That isn't on.

bobstersmum · 15/03/2019 12:34

It looks like a bra to me. She said she was really hot I can't see how she was? I do think she came across as a bit attention seeking. But it wouldn't have offended me. Now if I'd have worn that with my big jugs it would definitely look quite raunchy and inappropriate!

Pinkbells · 15/03/2019 12:36

It looks exactly like a bra. I would find it a bit odd to see someone wearing it on a plane but then again it's their body - their choice, I certainly wouldn't complain.

FurrySlipperBoots · 15/03/2019 12:37

I reckon it looks more like a bra than anything else. I don't think it was appropriate.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/03/2019 12:37

I don't know and TBPH I don't care. What has peeved me off though is group of 'men' ganging up on a 21 year old. Yet there was also a bloke in a vest top shorts funnily enough though nothing was said to him. That's big 'ard blokes for you, though.

NannyRed · 15/03/2019 12:38

It’s a bra.

Why is someone who wears underwear as outerwear surprised when she gets attention?

Maybe she was disappointed that the attention she received was not the attention she craved.

SileneOliveira · 15/03/2019 12:38

It's a bra.

It's the essential fashion item for the fame hungry wannabe who wants to get her face in the papers and a slot on the next trashy TV reality show.

QueenoftheBiscuitTin · 15/03/2019 12:38

It's a bralette. I think everyone involved is making a massive deal out of nothing.
