While I believe in the ideals of bra / top freedom we do have to take into consideration time and place within our cultural settings while we are trying to change our culture acceptance (or maybe, I am just not confident enough to do whatever I want just anywhere(?)).
I am bra-free 100% of the time ... at church (and weddings, funerals, etc.) it is least obvious because I am more formally dressed; and at an informal church settings I would be more selective in what I would wear but would still not wear anything under. At work, with very thin material and see-thru, I wear a camisole, otherwise nothing under. All other circustances it's nothing under except a camisole for see-thru. When I am ecorted by my husband, anywhere, I am at my most confident and anything could happen.
Does anyone else have self imposed guidlines?
Actually, you state it wonderfully in your original message.
A PERSONAL DRESS CODE is the ideal. Everyone should be free to choose their own dress code for whatever purpose.
Me personally?
Well, as you know I prefer to be clothes free but realize that this is impractical and impossible. In fact, while working, I am usually wearing a tie although the company does NOT require me to wear a tie, in fact, they don't know it. (I'm independent outside salesperson). They also don't know that I am a nudist when not working. :GRIN:
Again, I think your concept of a Personal Dress Code is the ideal and I think that I will use that phrase, if you'll allow, from now one when discussing these topics.
