Congratulations for the big step!

I will share with you my golden rules about bra wearing. Keep in mind that I dont (yet?) need a bra, so if I wear it is mostly to satisfy my crossdressing/underdressing fetish.

1) Men will not notice a non padded bra. Women most likely will.
2) Wear pattern if you want to disguise the bra lines
3) A sports bra's lines will look like a vest. Thin bra straps will always look like a bra. Women are likely to notice either way unless you wear 7 layers.
4) The top layer makes the difference. Wear a larger t-shirt on top of the bra to create some extra creases, then wear a soft hoodie on top and it'll be very hard to spot the bra lines. But if you then wear a tight coat on top of the hoodie, all lines will magically reappear because all the fabric will be squashed down.
5) Golden rule: wear a bra ONLY if it makes you feel comfortable enough to enjoy your day. The thrill is nice, but if the thrill turns to fear, then stop, reconsider, and evaluate other options (different time, place, bra type, clothing...)

Thank you Shirazmn, I think I have read almost every one of your posts.   You always offer great insight and I think our sizes are fairly close. 

I keep telling myself I do not need a bra. My breasts aren't big enough to justify wearing one.  But wearing one yesterday, I was really taken aback how good having the support felt.  And how much better my shirt fit.  I am always in male mode.  The idea of wearing a bra while in male mode feels contradictory. But the support the bra gave actually made me look more masculine.  Which made me feel more masculine and confident.  

I prefer a little snugger fitting t shirts.  I think someone seeing the imprinting of a men's tank top under a t shirt draws the same suspicions as a sports bra under a shirt. But without a bra my nipples show and my shirt drapes. Kind of a catch 22.  

Maybe I am big enough to bra.  I think I will be wearing one more often in situations I think it would be benefit.
