BE GONE Built-in Bras!!

[MikkelPaige]

Okay ladies, who's with me? Why is it that I can't find a single tank top or cute night shirt without a damn built-in bra or that stupid elastic line where a perfectionly proportioned woman's boobs would/should end?

I bought a really cute night shirt on sale at the Gap (http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5941&pid=551742&scid=551742022)(<--- linked...cute, right?) yesterday not thinking that the built-in elastic strip would be a problem. I just wasn't thinking....
IT IS!! :cursing: I swear that elastic strip brings the shirt DOWN further (let's be honest....it does NOTHING for holding the boobs UP) and I just look like a hooker with my cleavage hanging out! Now I'm thinking I have to return it.

Anyone else frustrated with this? I hate it!!!!

LOL, I am very um "blessed" in the boobie department and all those shirts just get on my nerves! They wind up pulling down and I don't need the help showing off my goodies! LOL... They stick out on their own!

Good luck!

Hehehe I am one that LOOKS for the built in bra. They work great for me and I hate having to mess with a real bra.

I would agree with you with sleepware tho!

*just a little disclaimer: I am definitely not perfectionly proportioned hehe :p

I'm glad I'm not alone. I can totally understand why it's a great thing if it fits you correctly. I suppose my frustration is that it's really difficult to find tank tops/sleepwear tanks withOUT that option now.

Couldn't we all just get along and have both options for 1 style of clothing? :thumbup: I'm calling a meeting of all the fashion designers/clothing companies of the world! UNITE!

I like them sometimes, not others...it kind of depends. I can get away with not wearing a regular bra underneath those...when I'm skinny. When I'm fat like I am now, I need a bra underneath (the girls shrink when I lose weight), so they are useless. :D

I don't like them for nightwear in any way, I like to be unobstructed then LOL :D

[Nikki Epperson]

LOL, that will never happen! :) But I totally agree, there have to be some out there that don't have that stupid elastic in there! It's just plain annoying!

[LeeAndra]

Perfect solution: no nightwear!! *lol*

[ColleenSwerb]

They just aren't comfortable either. I can't stand them.

[Nikki Epperson]

Perfect solution: no nightwear!! *lol*

I agree! :D

[jessica31876]

Ummm yeah totally agree...they get on my nerves and my husband who is a great man otherwise gets on my nerves when I wear them because he makes little comments about how much you can see. So I find myself pulling them up all day not that it lasts long because it gets up to high so I find myself pulling it back down. Alot of times I cut the bra out so that I dont have to deal with it LOL

Dude I only wear these around the house for pjs for that same dang problem! they are a royal pita and really serve no purpose for me.

[Nettio]

Apparently I'm in the minority because I happen to love them. :thumbup: I'm wearing one right now in fact, haha. I guess I don't have the problem with pulling up and down because I have no idea what you all are talking about. :D I'm rather small though so that's probably why.

[mommy2aria06]

Oh I HATE those things!! I will not buy a shirt with one! I have big boobs and I always have to wear a bra- no matter what kind of bra is in the shirt it never works to keep the girls up so it serves no purpose and just looks dumb.

That is a really cute shirt though Mikkel!

[lauren grier]

omgosh yes! I can NOT not wear a real bra-- and those things are useless.. When I went shopping for grown up clothes (lol) to wear to my grandmothers funeral I NEEDED a nice tank top/cami to throw under the shirt I bought... omg......................... every single thing had a stupid shelf bra in it! I was going loony!! *ok I feel better now :D*

[Traci Reed]

what's wrong with hooker cleavage? LOL

[Kat Stokes]

Perfect solution: no nightwear!! *lol*

Wouldn't that be a site when you open your door to a complete stranger tho... :p

[OrianaVianey]

I use to hate them because my former boobs were almost one inch above my knees... but now with my copyrighted boobs I love to wear them.

What I don't like is the stuff inside became a mess when you put them in the washer
