Grenier Response: Style 8500 has been designed to wear over your own bra, it provides modesty under deep décolleté low plunge tops. The advantage of this “Cami-bra” is that you don’t have to wear a full length camisole which some women think can be too warm under clothing, and still get the look of a lace trim Cami. Also, the molded cups will not flatten the breasts. Lisa from Ocala, FL
