AimeeM Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/lucky-brand-jeans-korine-eyelet-tank?ID=1316216&CategoryID=16901&LinkType=#fn=DEPARTMENT_TYPE%3DTops%26sp%3D2%26spc%3D129 I bought this yesterday, on a whim. I still think it's cute (DH bought me a couple of adorable, knee length wrap skirts at the Greek Festival this past weekend - and I was looking for some tanks or plain fitted tees to wear with them). The problem? The lace in the back, and the lace on the shoulders, make it clear that it wasn't meant to be worn with... er... typical female undergarments :p Not a huge deal - but when I put it on, it's definitely a bit see through! What is MEANT to go under it? I can't imagine wearing it "solo", but it definitely doesn't look okay with "undergarments" either! Obviously not a super serious post, in the grand scheme of things, but I really like the shirt - if I can figure this dilemma out, lol.

Shellydon Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I would wear a cami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd wear it with a flesh-toned bra--preferably a convertible one where I could use the clear plastic straps. Or if that were too obvious and I were feeling daring, I'd try it with a backless bra: http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=backless%20bra&sprefix=backles%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Abackless%20bra . But I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with it, physically, because I assume the backless bras have adhesive, and my skin reacts to that, sometimes badly. If I couldn't figure a way to wear a bra with it, I'd take it back. ETA: Yes, a cami would work well, too--Sheldon posted as I was typing :) Oh, and I also meant to say--depending on what's see through, it may go back anyway, unless I wore a cami under it. See through on the shoulders and down the middle of the back because of the lace, I'm ok with. If it's see through in other places because the material is just too thin, it would require a cami.

JFSinIL Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 My dd would wear a bra and a cami - her go-to undergarments for everything. She says kids do not care if bra straps show. She also has a strap-less bra she wars sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Could you wear it with a colored tank top? That way you could wear a normal bra (or one that matches the colored tank), and the color of the tank would show through the lace. Your tank top could be in a color coordinating with your skirt.

trulycrabby Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd try a sports bra under it, then maybe a cami if the sports bra wasnt enough coverage. It's cute! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd put it over a tank top with a regular bra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 You don't think a tank would look a bit odd with the areas the lace is? A tank would essentially "void" the lace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 A colored tank would bring more attention to the cutout lace parts. Or go with a cami that matches your skin tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 What about a skin toned cami? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The reviewers on the page stated they wear a tank top underneath. One does not specify color, the other stated she wears a nude color tank top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkyandtheBrains. Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Tank/cami either skin tone or matching color of top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Okay, not the answer that you're looking for but a recent conversation with a younger friend yielded the info that lingerie is supposed to seen. She would no doubt wear a strappy black bra with this outfit. Just giving you the current youthful perspective :D It's a pretty top, btw.

zoobie Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Could you wear it with a colored tank top?

That's what I would do. Plus it will make the eyelet pop and not make people wonder if you're nekkid. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have one that is even more see through on the back. I wear a nude color, T-back, lace bra that is very close to my skin tone. Since it is lace, you have to really look to see it through the shirt details. The nude straps are very hard to see and honestly if anyone is looking that hard to see them.....I don't care if they see a strap of flesh colored fabric.

AimeeM Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 So I went up to Macy's and found an olive green colored tank that I think will look nice with it. If that fails, I'll... probably return the shirt, lol! Ahem. Regarding the black bra recommendation from the youthful crowd - I think my husband would kill me, and I'm CERTAIN my daughter would attempt to pull off the same (and then DH would kill her - or at least lock her in the house for many years to come, lol). :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I bought a long sleeve white shirt that had lace down the back similar to what you have. My oldest said to wear a white tank top underneath it and she's fairly up on the latest styles. I do like the idea of a nude or colored tank as well.

Melissa in Australia Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I would wear a normal neutral coloured bra. There isn't that much lace and the lace isn't that open in pattern (at least that is how it looks from the picture) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Young people don't worry about bra straps any more and neither do designers. Sometimes you see the cami straps and the bra straps. I would just wear it and carry on or return it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 One of the reviewers says she wears it with a nude-colored tank top. Maybe a nude color bra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 On the Today show this am, they had a summer fashion segment. One of the women had on a lace top. Different from your's but still lace. The "exper" said lace is big this summer and just wear a matching color tshirt/tank whatever underneath it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Even though I was skeptical, I have to say that the olive green tank looks GREAT under it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
