This is a bra hack that I read about on Reddit that may or may not work for you. The discussion came up: what can you do about *hiding the seams* of your seamed bra under thin shirts. One redditor recommended (sorry, I don't remember her name to give her the actual credit) wearing these Hanes bralettes, inexpensive (I'm in Canada so the prices show up differently, but it's my understanding these are 2 for $10 on this website https://www.onehanesplace.com/hanes-get-cozy-pullover-comfortflex-fit-wirefree-bra.html) Otherwise you can buy these guys on amazon, available in like 15 different colours.

Tbh, I first tried this with a more colourful bra, BM Chili (Ewa Michalak) https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dngre/, and I wore it with a shirt that I actually wouldn't combine with this bra/shirt combination IRL (but it is the thinnest shirt that I own so I wanted to see if it would work). While the Hanes bralette did block out the black and red colour, I could still see some of the stretch lace texture through the shirt. But this is literally the thinnest shirt that I own, so...(also, it's an athletic shirt, and I would honestly never wear this combination).

The second try is with a 100% cotton thin summer shirt. For this second attempt I wore BM Suzy, this bra https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dng9l/, and the Hanes bralette. It worked!!

In the pictures, you can see the seams showing through with just the bra, and when I put the Hanes bralette over the seamed bra, the seams no longer show through : ) YMMV, but I think this is a hack that would either *work in a pinch* if you only have clean colourful bras to wear to a professional event, or if you are adamant about never showing seams. Note: the extra layer DOES trap some heat b/c these bralettes are spandex/nylon.

A note on sizing: in case you were wondering, I determined my size in this bralette by reading through the amazon comments. One woman said she was 30G and wore size small, so that is what I ordered.

Honestly, b/c this is a bit like a compression sports bra, it does add a bit of cleavage/lift, too, if that's the look that you're going for.

• This is great. Never thought about wearing it over a bra. These are my favorite sleep bras or all time. Will give this over bra thing a try. Thanks. :)

  Happy2BraShop , it does trap a bit of heat, so I prefer to go without this extra layer (even though I'm in Canada, lol), but I read about one woman who *always* wears these with her seamed bras - that's commitment! lol.

  I personally don't mind if seams show slightly, but it depends on the shirt, too. : ) Thanks for your response.
