When The Girls Hang Low - A Tank Top ?

[Disneyrsh]

OK, I have a question for those who wear the shelf-bra tanks. I belong to the itty-bitty club and don't need to worry about support (not a brag, believe me, I wish I were a little more endowed in the upper region). However, I am concerned about when I get a chill and the "poke through" potential (as DH calls it, "headlights"). For example, I get off Kali, soaking wet and catch a breeze and get chilly. Well, the girls will tend to perk up at the ends. Every time I try a shelf-bra type tank and get chilly, they poke through and that looks so tacky!!!! So, I end up wearing a non-shelf tank w/a bra underneath. How I long to go w/just the shelf-bra and feel a bit more free.

So ... question is ... what do you do to control poke through "headlights"?!!?

Thanks for any help! I didn't mean to hijack the thread, but I think that this is something everyone can relate to w/in tank top terms!

Breasts are not formless plastic balls.

You're supposed to have nipples.

When did nipples become tacky?

Every woman has them, why are we knocking ourselves out to hide them? Is this the 50's?

I'm all for firm support-when I see someone walking around and their cleavage is boing boing boinging all over the place I think, Ow, that HAS to hurt! Not to mention destroying all that good connective tissue that keeps them perky!

But hiding nipples? Guys will still stare at your chest, no matter what.

And don't worry about Kali and being soaked-everyone's staring at the chick from California with the fake ****s (which equals permanently erect nipples, btw) that was wearing a veeeeeery sheer white t-shirt .

The dis censor's going to go crazy on this one!

Anyways, I wear the chicken cutlets bra when I'm wearing a bra with a built in useless piece of material that has to be readjusted and tugged on because I already have one roll on my waist and I don't think the sisters need one too. Any nice ladies store has the chicken cutlet bra and I really think that it helps and I put a touch of powder in them before wearing especially in the hot summer heat.

Ok, I've read through this entire thread and no one has asked the question yet, so I must be the only one thats in the dark. What in the heck is a chicken cutlet bra???

I didn't know that, either, but didn't want to ask.

on this subject, I bought a halter top with a built in from lane bryant. I tried it on in the store and kept going back and forth but then I bought it. It's got the most ridiculous foam domes in the world. Nobody's ****s are like this. There are sections of the padding where I have nothing and I am not an owner of small girls. I keep trying to wear it but just can't. I'm bugged because it was expensive.
I'm really thinking of getting a reduction. I'm very close to making that commitment.

OMG I bought this and I felt like I should be onstage as Helga singing "Ride of the Valkeries" with a big horned hat on my head!

I am a C and don't come close to fitting this contraption. I am resigned to wearing a shirt over the tank or just letting my straps show (which I hate) *sigh*

Alright Here's my post:
I'm a fairly average girl. Smaller waist with (unfortunately) 34DD b***s. This is not fun at all! Not only is 34 a harder size to find (not all stores carry it cause 36, 38, and 40 are more common with DD), but a lot of 'popular' fashions right now don't look good AT ALL with these things!
But to answer the OP, I have found that buying a strapless or convertable bra works well with the clear straps. I know those shelf bras would NEVER work for me. Also, I read that someone asked if there were bras with thinner straps for bigger chested women. YES! I just found some from Maidenform at Kohls. Awsome! Total support the 'girls' need and thinner straps to wear under tanks. These bras also come in 'the plunge' styles which is nice if you're wearing a lower cut top. Hope this helps!

I wanted to know about the chicken cutlets too, so I googled it:

A stick on bra? Yow!

 

[ashjohnson80]

A stick on bra? Yow! I wonder if urban dictionary has a listing for it...

I can't imagine that taking that off is very nice.

There's no picture and I just can't picture it in my head

That was me! Yippee! Thank you! We have a Maidenform outlet here, so I am going on a search and rescue mission for this bit of lingerie - ta ta for now!!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Or should I have said, ta ta while I go shop for the tatas? I crack myself up on a regular basis!

I think I know what luvmygoofy was talking about. I used them for my wedding as my gown had a scooped down back and I am not one who can go braless. they are bascially sticky backed paper that is indeed in the shape of a chicken cutlet. You kind of sculp it to your shape as you apply it. Actually taking it off was not too bad. I have never heard them called that though.

[need_a_Disney_fix]

Personally, the chicken cutlets I have are very irritating. When I am sweaty I want to rip them off and smash them into the pavement. ARGH!

 

[Cantw8]

I'm just not getting it

As owner of large pair with a smaller waist, I wear TWO shelf-bra tanks OVER a similarly-colored bra. Everything stays in place, looks okay, and the headlights are almost never visible...

It is very much in fashion to wear two tank tops in contrasting colours and the bra straps contrasting as well.
