LOL. When I read the article the song "Set them free" came to mind.

If I can go commando, they can go braless.

[Mowich]

I've always hated wearing a bra but that didn't stop me from realizing that by not wearing one, I am simply leaving myself open to having my nipples exposed depending on the garment I am wearing. Not being an exhibitionist, I chose discomfort over exposure.
BTW, a lot of women find that having a proper fitting bra makes all the difference in comfort.

Bras are expensive.

Regular price: $65. On sale now for 50.

Also...something I discovered while researching this:

Big breasted women is worth an image search.

[raydan]

$65 is about what I used to pay for a tie.


But I'm going to make an educated guess and say that bras are like shoes. Buy something that fits... and buy something that fits "you". When I wore dress shoes every single day for work, I realized at one point how important it was to pay a bit (a lot) more for a good pair. Not only for the comfort, but also because the expensive shoes lasted so much longer.

I’m thinking of taking a course on bra fitting and construction. Tired of ill fitting uncomfortable crap. I already mend the expensive bras my daughter has to buy. Might as well make them then I could leave a way to make replacing the underwire easier. I doubt that material etc. will cost the 80 or more a piece that she pays

As to the story if she wants to go braless that should be her business and no one else’s. What she is or isn’t wearing doesn’t change how she does her job.

[raydan]

I don't think she'll win. Companies can dictate (within reason) what you can and cannot wear at work. The obligation for women to wear a bra is probably within reason... especially in a customer service environment.

McD probably has a written dress code.

True, but it might change her tips.

"Son, stay clear of women who fight the most basic principles of economics. Let other men learn them."

$1:

"It was absurd," she said. "Why do you get to dictate what's underneath my clothes?"

"--because I sign your paycheck."

I am sorry but that does not cut it. They may be able to tell her what uniform she is required to wear, but they have no say whatsoever in what she wears underneath that uniform. How far are we willing to take this? Do they get to dictate what type of underwear as well? Do they get to require granny panties over thongs, or bikinis? Do we have to submit to underwear inspections just because someone signs our paychecks? I think not. I remember when women were required to wear pantyhose on the job. They were expensive and delicate. They practically got a run in them if you looked at them wrong. I can't remember the last time that I seen a pair of pantyhose. Airlines used to dictate what make up female flight attendants had to wear. Law suits put a stop to that. Anyone can type up a memo or hang a sign on a wall. Policy does not trump law.

I'm lucky (I guess) in that I'm not very big but still, depending on what I'm wearing I would feel self-conscious about not wearing one, especially while at work. Several years ago I found a brand/style that I like that is very comfy with no underwire (!) that supports my girls just fine. Less than $30 the last time I bought a replacement when one wore out.

That's just me though. What other women choose to do is their business.

Good points!

I'll fight for my right to watch them being braless on the job.
