I started going braless after my lumpectomy. When I visited a wig shop to purchase and be fitted with a wig, I told the owner I hope she didn't have a problem with my not wearing a bra because it was just too uncomfortable. She replied, "You do you, not my business." She became a friend. A year later we attended a visitation for a fellow red hatter (she conned me into joining), and she mentioned later that some old ladies there had commented on my lack of bra. Instead of being embarrassed I gave her what for for even mentioning it to me, and that the old biddies had no business looking there. Four years later I only wear a bra if I'm going someplace special and it would be very obvious. Otherwise I don't even think about it which I think portrays the image that I don't care what you think, this is me, take it or leave it. It also helps that I recently read an article that in 1992 the court decided that women in New York state were legally allowed to go topless anywhere men were so allowed.
