Halter Tops: Love em or Hate em? - Page 2

Last I checked, Express and American Eagle also made halters with built-in bras. However, they are the "shelf-bras" that come in baithing suits. Not enough support for me...I've just resigned myself to wearing strapless bras and getting used to them. They're not so bad if they fit correctly.

See but just because you are small chested does not necessarily mean that you shouldn't wear a bra with halter/tank tops.

I know some smaller women who need a bra just as badly as I do- don't let em sag, and no it's really not cute that I can see your whole chest!!!!

What was the word? Classy? Yes class is important y'all!

I agree - class is SO important. Sometimes halters just look slutty - your rule, preppy, woulld make some ppl look SO much classier! (Show skin on top or bottom - never the same time though.)

Strapless bras are great! You just have to find the right one. I really like Olga ones or Maidenform ones.

I think halters are nice, just as long as they're worn with class

NEVER - EVER - EVER - NEVER TO CHURCH!

I know God doesn't care what you wear, BUT OTHER PEOPLE DO!!! hahaha!

My hubby and I attended Mass with his parents this weekend (we aren't Catholic, but we go to church with them when we're there, and vice versa)....ANYWAYS....this woman who was quite large - especially on top -- chose to wear a bright pink one, with bright pink floweredy shorts! AND NO BRA - none! She was a 42 D if I've ever seen one (I'm not quite that large, but SHE sure was)!

I know this isn't exactly on the subject, but it was brought up so I thought I'd ask anyway! I am never comfortable in a strapless bra...has anyone (especially you girls that are larger up top!!) found one that you absolutely love?? I've been meaning to try the Victoria's Secret one (the one with the removable straps that can do like 5 different styles). Do any of y'all have that one and like it?

I like the tops at Express that come in all th different colors with the built in bra. I'm not that big (34 or 36 C-cup; it varies depending on brand name but it's usually a 36C), but I also need a strapless bra to waer with even those tops. I used to wear tops that are open in the back (you now, those with a string that ties), but I can't wear my tops like that anymore.

I had bought one of those three-way convertables a long time ago but it was way too small. Where can I find on of those that'll fit?

I have that Victorias Secret bra - its the body by victoria strapless. In my case, the only problem is that if I get a 34C, my normal size, and take out the extra padding, its WAY too big, so I have to buy that particular bra a size smaller.

I don't know what it's called. I just remember seeing commercials for a Victoria's Secret bra on which you can adjust the straps to a halter style, crossed in the back, or just take them off.

I think it's called the Victoria's Secret body by victoria convertible bra "one bra to wear five ways" or something like that. ive been in their website way too often, thats why i know lol.

i dont have the body by victoria one, but i do have 2 vickys secret convertible bras. they don't have extra padding so i just bought them in my normal bra size. basically i cant live w/o them, coz this summer ive been wearing a lot of tanks and halters. although my bras are the 5-way convertible one i only wear them either 2 strap or strapless...too much fiddling if i try to hook it up halter style.

Just an FYI:

Victoria's Secret is having its semi-annual sale right now! (At least around here

)

I'm sooooo tempted to go and get a half-price Miracle Bra with the water in it. Those things are cool!

volgirl2376 · #26 03-13-2002, 11:03 PM

halter tops are cute..tube tops are trashy

im too busty to wear either one - but on the right girl, halter tops, when worn at an appropriate time, are cute!

LeslieAGD · #27 03-13-2002, 11:27 PM

I think it depends entirely on the person and their body shape/size. Let's practice some common sense people!

SparkliiQTMTSU · #28 03-14-2002, 01:26 AM

I personally love halter tops but it can depend on the top. Some look great and others just look well yucky

so it all depends.

I like 'em! I actually just bought on of the AE shelf-bra ones the other day.

I haven't worn a halter top since I was ten. I think that I would look very different in one now.
