Is this a shine on the fabric or actually a nipple?

Can't decide, but if it's just the way the material is shining, did no one at Debenhams think to re take the photo?!

It's shine

If it IS a nipple @50sandFabulous then why is about 20% of the nipple missing? 😬

If it's a nipple, then she's gone and bleached her left one!

It's the shine of the fabric (which is hideous, by the way).

This is such a weird thread. Imagine being so invested in this thought process to start a thread asking for opinions on whether a nipple is displayed or not.
(it's very clearly shine, I can't imagine how you think it could be otherwise - how would one side be see-through and not the other).

It doesn't look like it fits her properly. There appears to be side boob under her right armpit.

It’s the camera reflecting back - poor show from the Debenhams e-commerce team.

Her right boob to me looks completely bare, as though the material is see through, and we can see the nipple. I was SO shocked when I saw it. I'm telling myself it must be the sheen, but I literally cannot see it any other way than what I have described!

Her right boob looks bare? Please don't tell me you think the bikini looks the same colour as the models skin? Wow.

Really? Look at how many people have now visited the page and looked at the bikini. I would call that an excellent job

Theunamedcat · Today 17:50

It looks awful the reflection makes it look like she is lopsided i had to stare an uncomfortable amount of time at her breasts to see them level 😳 😅

50sandFabulous · Today 17:54

How is no one (bar one other poster) seeing this?! Her right boob looks bare. 😐

Because it absolutely does not look bare...

offtodreamland · Today 17:55

It's the shine of the fabric. Looks awful in my humble opinion, but at least it's accurate and a warning to those of us who wouldn't want a metallic fabric.

AlcoholicAntibiotic · Today 17:59

It’s the shine, but it does look a bit like the material over the right breast is very see-through.

Which is probably what they were going for.

50sandFabulous · Today 16:54

It looks to me like it's metallic material on one side, and see through fabric on the other. I just can't seem to see it any other way!

It looked like that to me too.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · Today 18:02

Do you work for Debenhams OP?

Wauwinet · Today 18:08

All I see is an ugly bikini.

Why are you so upset and bothered that others are not seeing this bare nipple (basically because it isn't a bare nipple?) Why so invested? Why does it matter to you?

Hahaha, Mumsnet driving up M&S site traffic I think

"Popular!" 😂

What has M&S got to do with it? Can't you see Debenhams on the photo you posted?

BMW58 · Today 18:14

But that would mean her skin colour is not the same on her "exposed" breast!

Your eyes need testing OP 😂

The tiny version absolutely looks like a transparent covering on her right breast. The full size version of the main photo does not at all.

Left · Today 18:22

I know what you mean now OP… but when you said shine it threw me off as I was looking at the white shine on the right hand side of the image. Not the dark shadow on the left side.

In defense of the photography team - it is very hard
to capture shiny surfaces, this was probably an absolute nightmare to shoot and retouch.

Happyjoe · Today 18:22

It's shine, it's even the same shape as studio lights, same as on the backside.

Horses7 · Today 18:22

You need to go to Specsavers! 🤣

It looks to me like it's metallic material on one side, and see through fabric on the other. I just can't seem to see it any other way!

What

Edit: oooooh wait I see what you mean now! 'Shine' is not the best word to use since what you're referring to is the darkest, least shiny part. It's like a magic eye painting 🤣 Her right boob (left on the screen) is the one with the imaginary nipple, not the other one, which has the shine on it.
