Bra straps on show

Is it just me or does anyone else hate this look? A vest top or dress with spaghetti straps or straps in a different place to your bra so that your bra straps are on display. Normally not even a pretty bra but an old greyish white one.

one shoulder tops, halternecks and boob tubes, should NEVER be worn with a normal bra, looks bloody awful, shudder

bundle · 28/04/2005 13:43

anyway, what's wrong with a vest?

JoolsToo · 28/04/2005 13:44

or liberty bodice

bundle · 28/04/2005 13:45

nice crocheted bedjacket, anyone?

lou33 · 28/04/2005 13:45

long sleeved thermal vest and long johns sounds v appealing to me atm

I agree re. one-shouldered tops - I think they're naff
Also, I'm LONGING for low-slung trousers go out of fashion, so we can have warm lower backs and properly hidden bellies once more.

NO to thongs, I can't help imagining them going up the bum crack every time I see them - pooh

NO also to 'sellotape-look' bra straps.

lou, with optional gilet on top...???

Sponge · 28/04/2005 13:50

A nice cap sleeved blouse solves the problem.

Flamesparrow it's WEIRD we agree on like....everything. Pity you live down south! I hope we don't look the same too! (size 12 with huge boobs?! Argh!)

flamesparrow · 28/04/2005 14:09

Awww, I wanna live near you!!

Size 12 with reasonably long brown hair, and glasses... And 34F (I think... had to return the Es I ordered).

I have long spindly yucky brown hair which I am going to lop off before I give birth and my boobs 36 G (also an 'I think')...due to breastfeeding, well that's my excuse anyway! Not that I do breastfeed anymore lol

lou33 · 28/04/2005 14:16

i always do cosy when i am sick

Smurfgirl · 28/04/2005 15:10

I don't care. As long as the underwear on show is nice it doesn't bother me.

As a rule I don't wear strappy tops so its not a huge issue for me, but I am sure I show my knickers a lot because I wear very low cut jeans.

I do hate it when girls wear their jeans half way down their bum and a big pair of black girl boxers pulled up to their waist. Why?

"there are so many decent strapless t-shirt bras around - everyone thinks you have beautiful per, perfect boobs with one of those! "

Can I just contest that statement TVI ? As a person with an 'odd' bra size (32E/F) it is really difficult to get the right sort of strapless bra that fits & supports properly without giving you the Picasso 4 tit effect.

PsychoFlame · 28/04/2005 15:24

Love the term "picasso tit effect"

Mine normally end up looking like they are trying to look round two different corners
