To think it's acceptable for my DN to wear a body suit with no Bra?

[Sunshineandrainbow]

I would like some perspective on this please. Niece is 17 wearing an all in one body suit with no Bra on holiday, bra size is 30 a/b. Occasionlly you could see nipple through top.
Is it acceptable for family member to tell her to put a top on over bodysuit to cover up?

I stopped wearing bras years ago, always found them so uncomfortable. If people have an issue they can look away. Don't understand why a relative is looking at a 17-year-old's breasts anyway. That's what's unacceptable to me.

some of these responses below in a different era entirely. Free the nipple! I am really enjoying how many young girls are so happy to go braless. I could have easily but never did as I was too self conscious about their size so always wore a padded bra. And now, it’s too late! Two ebf children have put paid to that.

Couldn't agree more.

This thread is fucking depressing. It doesn't matter what she's wearing, it is ALWAYS acceptable to forgo a bra. The fact a lot of posters claim it's not classy or that they are basically asking to be perved on is fucking gross.

Why worry about the men when we have misogyny aplenty ourselves?!

Does the person having a problem with this also tell the shirted or non shirted men to cover up?

17 year olds a slightly more vulnerable to pervy men than Middle Aged women with boobs down to their knees though. Of course it goes without saying women should dress how ever they see fit but we aren’t living in a glorious utopia where sexual violence against women, young women in particular doesn’t happen. I’ll make no apologies for not fitting into that idealistic and unrealistic world but you all crack on showing your kids nipples off to pervy blokes.

There ladies walking around in bikini tops in our town centre. Body suit is covered up. I'm much bigger boobs and sometimes just wear pilates top with bra shelf

I havent read the full thread but are you making sure that every single male you are on holiday with also have their nappies covered at all times? (Even though she literally had a top on) Like PP, I would love to be able to walk around with no bra under a t-shirt or vest but I haven't been able to since I was about 10 years old.

If the niece is 17 @Sunshineandrainbow can't be that old. I could understand a very elderly person. Perhaps it's an overseas country

That's ageist! Some of us have lived through the original Women's movement, if you don't mind 🙄

Bloody right she shouldn’t listen to the OP. This is utter sexist nonsense.

I'm sure you have many more didn't

Not much different to wearing. Swimsuit / bikini then ?

If she is anything like my 19 year old, she probably won’t care and say people shouldn’t be looking.

You need more description or a photo?

Fuck off you perv!!!

I'm also thinking the OP is on the pervy side of this as well. Stop staring at your niece's breasts.

The problem in all of this is that women's nipples (and breasts) have been sexualised for years. I hate it. Especially since Ive had two children biting on mine.

Agree with all PP's, it's just a nipple.

Its actually disturbing that you have posted this about your niece.

Wouldn't think anything of it, in fact I'd think "good for her" and get on with my day. Imagine being offended by nipples, how ridiculous.

This thread is so so so disturbing! Honestly shame on you OP!

Absolutly a non-issue. Her age or bra size are nothing to do with it - people have nipples, sometimes our clothes don't entirely hide that fact, this is both unavoidable and not something that requires any adjustment.

The only bras I wear (soft bralet type things) don't hide my nipples anyway. So if the family member upset that the unavoidable fact of a human being having nipples isn't being hidden, what they actually want is for her to wear a bra that sufficient conceals the existence of nipples, i.e. something slightly padded. I find it DEEPLY weird that someone would want to force another person to wear a padded item of clothing to hide the absolutely unremarkable fact of their nipples existing.

(There are certain things I think people should avoid in most company, clothes wise - no genitals on show, no uncovered nipples on any sex unless at a beach. But as long as they're covered, this is ridiculous)

Not your body, not your business.

Those were the days, being able to not wear a bra. Was the person who suggested it middle aged with droopy post breastfeeding boobs by any chance and jealous? Or just a complete prude?

Do you mean they could see an erect nipple or the areola colour and diameter through her top? Because my nipples poke through even padded bras 😐
I think some bodysuits are more covered up than others so need more description or a photo. I think too much unnecessary nudity on holiday or not is vulgar.

ok I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are a very very fucked up individual so just pause for a second - you want the OP to sneakily take a photo of her DN’s breasts and upload them on to mumsnet?

Because it’s either think you are very very fucked up
or
you are a raging pervert

Her body - her choice
