Bra Showings Have Greatly Increased with Weight Loss

I know that there are far more important things to worry about in this world but I'm really bugged that every top I put on, even the most modest in style, manages to show my bra or bra strap. EVERY. ONE. WTH?! This happens even when I'm wearing something that is properly sized. Am I just a weird shape or does every one have this issue?

No you're not weird. Well, you are, but thats why we like you. Anyhoo, you and are are the same height, but Im guessing you have a tiny, tiny frame, because if I weighed 110 lbs I would be very underweight for my thicker , heavier bones . (125 -140 is my good weight) So, if you have a small petite frame, maybe there just isn't enough of your body to fill out the shirt ? Maybe thats why the bra straps keep showing ? Maybe it's time to treat yourself for reaching your goal ? How about a trip to Victorias Secret for you, Miss Tiny ? Give the "girls" something pretty to be in all day ? Have fun !

Depending on the cut of the shirt, you may want to try different bra styles. A standard bra is fine under a regular tshirt or tank top but once you get into broader necklines, halters, racerbacks etc you definitely need a different bra style. Maybe try a strapless that has removable straps that you can wear in different styles?

Fashion report! I went to the Kenny Chesney concert in upper 80s/low 90s weather so all the cowgirls were wearing summer clothes. It is very trendy to have cool strappy tops. i saw brastraps everywhere - all ages - and I think part of it is just "get over it".

What looks best is thinner straps, color matched to the outfit, or ver neutral. Some ladies were wearing "tube style" strapless bras abut even the backs of those showed and nobody cared.

what doesn't look good is big ole industrial sized wide bra straps in brite white....

I have a couple of different bras I use for these situations, and I try to make the color compatible with the top, and try to choose colors that look more like the 'strappies' then a typical bra strap. Example, i ahve a racerback bra where the straps are a very light, pretty blue. I also have one that is more traditional style, but the straps are a very pale, light green. Those colors go well with some of my summer tanks

My bra keeps showing and I can't figure out why. I do feel like it is pretty annoying that it happens with the best of shirts/blouses. I don't think I'm ready for a new bra just yet, so it must be the shirts are getting too big.
