Looking for a bra or shapewear that is truly seamless


ShawnaLeigh

Recommended Posts

Hello,

The subject line about covers my question.  The reason is I have an overwhelming desire to dress way more feminine underneath but since I am not out I have to still wear male clothing.  For work it is casual dress.  Collared shirt and slacks.  I have a huge amount of silky golf polo type shirts I really like the feel of.  Also I am in a very big weight loss phase after getting Bariatric surgery where 75% of my stomach was removed.  I am melting way but at one time I was nearly 300 pounds.  I am 184 as of today at 5'7".  I sadly have to look forward to loose skin I am sure.  Hence the ask about shapewear too.

I normally wear a compression tank top made by Underworks design for both male, and females (I think), that is more for working out and movement containment.  Very breathable,very form fitting and it is very stretchy but silky feeling. (I do have small breasts going already so dressing like a man I get noticed being perky and pointy.) This garment can easily be written off as a typical male tank undershirt if anyone notices the seams of it.  

So what's the problem you say?

If not a feminine piece of clothing.  

I have searched the web and I can not find a bra or shapewear that has truly no seams, or if it has wider straps it is cut so low across the back that it would clock me in an instant as wearing a bra/shapewear.  I have looked at jog bras but again the seams would not go over well under and polo shirt.

Maybe in a few months this will not be an issue but it is now.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I found a seamless, wireless bra at the Woman Within website, it was the Leading Lady Brigitte bra, very comfortable

Hey Nivegnal - I have a Tomboyx bra that's kind of nice and might work for you . Not sure about the seams though. I also have  a bralette at Walmart that works surprising well. Do you really think people will notice the seams ? and if they do?

Anyhow - good luck!

I will take a look at those Thank you.  
I notice them on other women but they are suppose to be there.  
Under a guys polo shirt that on a male?  Not so much. 
I admit to pushing my luck with some things.  I’m not looking to get clocked before I am out to all.

I have had this up for quite some time, but it is true and applies to clothing as well as pictures, but a little reversed for the clothing.  We are our own worst critics and are sharper than a tack on our flaws than any one else around.  I just wore looser clothing when I started to under-dress at work, which was easy since I too was losing a beer belly and moobs turninng to boobs at the time.

Try workout bras on e-bay. Not very sexy, but not obvious, even under a T-Shirt. And "Tee-shirt bras." Seamless cups.

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
