The story:

In theory, this top could be worn just to tease, showing glimpses of nipple without full exposure. And that might work for someone perhaps 2+ inches shorter than I am.

In practice, as soon as I bend over, at least one of my nipples pushes through the mesh and hooks it, so that when I straighten up, the nipple is exposed.

I might still wear it out late at night when I feel like flashing, but I had hoped it might be usable during the day to be not quite as obvious.
