Spaghetti straps, anyone?

OK, 'tis time to expose more of my clothing ignorance.

I *love* spaghetti straps. I have scads of camis and several dresses that have spaghetti straps. And that worked great back when I didn't have any boobs to speak of, back in the BE era ... Before Estrogen. But now that I've been on estrogen (and just recently, progesterone) for a while, I have boobs! And not mere mosquito bites, but BOOBS! One of my latest bras, 38G - Parfait By Affinitas ยป Celine Padded Bra (7301) , fits pretty damn good. As a transsexual, it's said that you should be really happy if you can get as large as maybe a B-cup. So this is just plain ridiculous, completely unexpected, and rather unnerving, since they are still growing!

Anyway, so what that means is that generally speaking, I can't really go bra-less with my spaghetti straps any more. I know that in some cases a strapless or convertible bra is the answer. But are they *always* the answer? Is it ever OK to wear a regular bra with spaghetti straps? I'm not worried about the "nice girls don't do that" sort of thing. I'm *not* a "nice girl." I love my boobs and I don't have a lot of shame, so I don't mind looking a little slutty, I just don't want to look dorky and stupid.

Any advice for a woman who grew up severely disadvantaged by being raised as a male?

  • I don't think you're going to look stupid if your bra straps are showing. I see it all the time during the summer. I personally would wear a bra with thinner straps if possible but that's just my preference.

  • I always wear bra with spaghetti straps. For me it is more modest than going braless. :) I don't think it looks slutty or wrong. You should dress the way you want to. :)
