See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
This may be a topic we can enjoy again…without some of the personality conflicts we saw in the past. Let’s give it a try!
As I’ve shared in previous threads, I enjoy being ‘art’ for friends, neighbors, and some strangers. Most times I prefer to be completely topfree so the curves of my breasts and the color, shape and arousal of my nipples are clearly visible. Other times it’s just not the time or place to be totally topfree, but it is an opportunity for men and women to see and appreciate an artistically-draped display of the feminine form—then I enjoy wearing some kind of see-through top. My husband has a good eye for tops that meet this standard. Most of the transparent tops I have were gifts from him—I wear them around the house most times for his enjoyment, but never feel embarrassed if one of our friends comes over while I’m covered only by a very transparent but artistic top.
My favorites recently have been from ‘Chico’s’—these transparent tops are meant to be worn over other tops, but I enjoy wearing them with nothing underneath, except perhaps a pair of tights.
When you can’t be totally topfree, what kind of transparent tops do you wear? When do you like to wear transparent, sheer, or loose-mesh tops? Are you ready to have your friends, women and men, see you nonchalantly wearing in a sheer top? Or are you only ready to be seen and appreciated by strangers? I like both, but I know not every woman is ready to be casually topfree with friends, neighbors and strangers.

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
Hi everyone!
First I'd like to thank Ventanabare for reopening this thread. Having only recently discovered this forum, I missed out on this topic the first time around.
For many years, my wife has worn many different types of see-through tops and dresses both around home and in public. Being in our born and raised home town in the midwest it often creates a conflict for her style of dress. I know it's often been difficult fitting into the mold that mothers and daughters seem required to fit into. There certainly is a double standard for women, who are expected to cover up, even if it means surpressing their own personality and american rights to freely express themselves. Our supposedly free country may well be the most self-surpressing on the planet!
I grew up being fairly reserved and somewhat shy. Her flirtatious and uninhibited nature has gradually reshaped my thinking on a number of subjects. It is through her lifelong battle of trying to find her place that I find myself wholeheartedly in support of groups like the topfree movement. Great forum - keep up the good work!
I cannot speak for my wife (she intends to jump on board as soon as she gets a work break), but only offer my perspective. I have grown very attatched to her creativity in clothing. It's always fun to see her push the envelope. This, for a man, quickly becomes an endearing trait. A few quick stories:
Once she surprised me by wearing an extremely short nude colored lace dress with matching thigh-high nylons, complete with high heels, topped with a blazer, on a dinnier date. Wow! She admitted that she felt like a million bucks - and looked quite dazzling! We wound up making stops at many of our usual shopping spots simplybecause we we having such a fun time and didn't want to go home!
We take many weekend drives to state parks, lakes and other outdoor destinations. Sometimes we end up going shopping to a nearby city. We usually get an early start to maximize our day. It's very common for her to put on a see-through stretch lace tank top and one of her extremely short miniskirts and some sandals and out the door we go. She doesn't wear panties either (may qualify her for "nude" topics as well).
She has a whole array of what we call "holey" tops and sweaters which are loosely woven and enjoys having her nipples poke through.
When she became dissatisfied with off the rack clothing, we bagan to sew things specifically to fit her. Among the favorite tops, we designed a series of what I can only describe as a bikini top that has a lower full section like a blouse. We designed these to cup and lift her breasts from below yet be loose fitting and airy at the upper half, which is cut quite low. Often this ends up leaving continuously partial to nearly full breast exposure. I can tell you that this took a bit of getting used to - for her and for me. Using elastic straps, the top allows a good bit of bouncing breast action. She loves the way they make her feel and has worn them frequently on our outings.
As far as I know, she has never had a negative experience while wearing these tops. I believe this is due to her lovely personality and putting others at ease. It is interesting to see how people react to seeing her naked breasts. The really fun part though (that I never expected) was that we found a new activity that we could enjoy together! To all guys reading, this sewing gig sounds like a downer, but when you see her in something like this it's well worth it! You'll get hooked! There have been other tops, skirts and dresses made, but all used more traditional homemade patters. The best part is, you can quickly create single layered clothes from material that you can't buy in a particular style.
I would be interested to know if we did something original or if others have created similar clothing.
Finally, I want to go on record here that I always love my wife and care a great deal for her feelings. She often goes through withdrawl periods from her favorite clothing because she feels guilty and therefore isolated - that no one understands. I suspect there are many women who are, like her, trapped by a society standard that they cannot possibly adhere to. Men and women alike have contibuted to the stunted growth of our culture with ugly, inmature attitudes toward sexuality and the human body.

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
I've probably posted something before about this, so at the risk of repetition ... I have several tops that are see-through, maybe a half dozen of them that are thin or semi-sheer material, and another six or so which have large weaves. The sheer ones aren't totally opaque (I've thought about getting one like that to wear over pasties but just never have gotten around to it; maybe my husband, who got me the pasties, will this Christmas  ) but are of the kind that if you're near me you'll notice. The open-weave ones are just about big enough in spacing for a nipple to pop through if I'm cold.
There's no one place I've gone to get them nor any particular brand, mainly boutiques (a Chico's just opened in our area, so that's a good idea ). Actually, one of my favorites I got at the Salvation Army resale shop; I was with a friend who picked it up, its label reading "Anxiety," who said, "You can have this one; I've already got enough of that in my life." 
When it's warm I wear them on days we're going somewhere (meaning dining, shopping, or both), obviously braless (I infrequently wear bras). I don't mind anybody seeing me in them although again it's not blatantly obvious. For example, if we were going on a walk and pass by neighbors doing stuff in their yards, they probably can't see anything. But if you're a server at a restaurant, with the semi-sheer tops you'd be close enough to see my nipples, and if the lighting's right also my areolas (which are pretty light).
This attire isn't something I'd wear anywhere. Places like church, theater, upscale restaurants, parties at other peoples' houses etc. are out, certainly never in the classroom, too. But most places you can be casual in a public setting primarily for adults I think is appropriate (although I never would go alone to any of these places dressed this way, and just about always it's with my husband). I might relax this standard more if we didn't live in a socially-conservative part of the country. But at home, I have no qualms about wearing such tops whoever may show up. Even my semi-prudish family got used to them long ago.

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
Eliabeth...I enjoyed your sharing, but was sort of puzzled by the part about wearing pasties. Could you elaborate? I can understand not wanting to wear a bra, I can understand deciding whether to show proudly (sheer or transparent tops), or to just go braless with an opaque top for comfort, without display....but I can't figure out how the pasties enhance. Would you explain, please?

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
Again, note that I would wear pasties only with a transparent top. Otherwise, they don't really serve a purpose, in my mind.
This is because I don't want to be blatantly obvious, to make my boobs the main event. Were I to wear something that is so transparent that you could tell more than a few feet away that my nipples and areolas are on display, I feel I convey the wrong impression. I like for there to be a little mystery. With the attire along these lines that I wear now, in essence I have to invite you to come close enough to us, that you have to be prepared not to voyeur me from afar, but instead to risk revealing part of yourself through interaction necessitated by approaching me if you are to find out "does she or doesn't she?" (if that's a relevant question which to some it may not be).
Pasties under a transparent top would convey something similar although differently. Here, the question "can I see her boobs through that shirt?" is answered affirmatively without difficulty, but not the entirety of them. A bit of mystery remains because the parts most sanctioned remain covered.
You have to understand my philosophy of attire -- I want to be noticed as someone who is confident and creates her own style, but one who does not deliberately try to provoke an obvious prurient interest. Boobs, like earrings, necklaces, bracelets, scarves, hats etc. are fashion accessories. Having them out for all to see easily (outside of social situations where that may be expected such as at the beach, etc.) does not make them accessories but rather the main event, and I don't want that because it conveys a prurient impression based upon objectification. If more in the background, they become part of a larger whole that is me, and that's how you need to experience me, instead of conceptualizing me as just two glands of fat.

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
Hello, I have been introduced to this board by my husband. He jumped on board and is very interested in this subject. I am a very firm believer that society is the reason that a lot of women won't come out of the closet and just enjoy being themselves. I am a very firm believer and advocate of sheer clothing and being bra free. I have a variety of clothing that includes sheer, semi sheer, holey sweaters, see through and then there is the ones where you can see just enough. I agree that some places are just not appropriate to wear such things but for the most part there should be no problem. I also have several bra and panty sets that I consider very sexy. They are sheer with flowers and you can see just enough that people are very curious about you. Society has created the monster of how and where it is appropriate and it sounds like to me that it depends on where you live. I live in a medium sized town and most people here are backward. They don't step out of the box and enjoy life to its fullest. Our breasts are a beautiful part of being women and we should not be ashamed of letting them be free.
I have suprised my husband with various outfits over the years as you can read above he has told you about some of them already. I have a couple of tops made out of beads and I have worn them with overalls on outings.
The pasties talked about earlier in this board are okay if that is what you prefer but I am just curious have you ever worn that shirt out without them? If so have you received bad comments or is it just the looks you get?

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
brith2o,
I was wondering where the pink top came from (the pic posted on the Sheer clothing topic). It is so hot and looks tasteful enough to wear to a club with a dresscode in effect.

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
Hello All and Happy Holidays! Hope santa brought you all lots of new tops and ideas. I got several new tops for Christmas. Mostly sheer scarf like material. On Christmas we had my father-in-law over and I wore one of my new tops. He never even acknowledged what I was or wasn't wearing. I was very pleased with being able to pull this off without being the least bit uncomfortable. I have to say thank you to my husband for all his support in my many out of the box adventures.

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
Xposed Titties:
The pink top is from Top Shop, a clothing chain in the U.K., a country that we visit frequently. We bought it a couple of years ago now. We had great fun in Spain when she wore it all day with nothing underneath - we visited a supermarket and she loved the polite, positive reaction that she received from others who noticed that her nipples were slightly visible. It does look very beautiful on her and comes across as very tasteful.

Re: See-Through Tops at Home & in Public
HI
We have just joined this group. We are both typing here (very difficult). Mrs H has been braless and pantyless for many years now. She does not own one bra or pair panties (even for going to the doctor). See thru is our passion. We used to live in the the UK and moved here to Cape Town two years ago. We have never had any trouble with people in bars,restaurants or the street. In clubs she goes even further. For everyday shopping etc she wears moderate see thru or has the blouse undone to the waist. She usually wears very short skirts or if longer slightly see thru. I am going to try and attach a few photos (see what we can do) to show her style. We luv stting in bars with a see thru blouse on a mini skirt that shows a hint of pussy (and more). We take lots of photos which we are will to swap. Anyway this is just a test to see if this works. Mrs H is in a Micro bottom kini and naked up top.
Look forward to contributing and reading your bits as well
