I wear v-necks and wrap shirts a lot, sometimes with a Bravado ++ underneath so it looks like a tank for modesty. (Walking-around modesty, not nursing modesty.) I sure couldn't do it in a regular t-shirt.

Venturing into TMI territory, and totally unsure of how to word this, I will say that some breasts are more of the half-melon sitting on chest variety, and some have a...smaller site of attachment, let's say. Not pendulous, exactly, but...is that making any sense at all? Maybe some of us are more floppable than others!

You know Im a flop-over the shirt type of nurser myself and I actually have the more half-melon type of boobs, but for me its the angle at which my nipples point. They're very upward pointing and I think that makes nursing over the shirt a bit easier. I also enjoy wearing lower necklines, since my ample cleavage is the only part of my post-baby body that's at all attractive now.

ETA: I'm just now noticing that my nursing toddler smilie looks as if she's an over the shirt nurser too. I can totally see her whole boob.

I always lifted my shirts a couple of inches- because without a bra I sag down below my waist anyway- to pull them up over the top is so much more work! Plus I never wear low cut shirts or show cleavage, so there just isn't room in my necklines for boobs like mine!

I remember discussing with a friend how she'd unbutton the top 2 nightshirt buttons to nurse, while I'd leave the top 2 buttons closed and open the 2-3 underneath that for optimal coverage while nursing (let the top of the shirt cover my chest and keep me warmish while I unbutton the part where my nipple actually is!) We're simply shaped differently. This discussion came up when we were out shopping for sleepwear, and she'd pull out nightshirts for me that I couldn't possibly nurse in but that would have worked fine for her.

Hmmmm...well at least your panties weren't tucked up in the back of your skirt in a public place.:

I cut holes in my tank top. Like I put on the brand new tank, look in the mirror and draw with marker a circle around each boob. Then I take scissors and cut! It works perfect to hide your belly and keep you warm if you're a shirt lifter like I am. It's also given me more coverage than anything else I've tried.

I was at my best friend's wedding a year ago and during the reception dd got hungry. We were sitting at long banquet type tables with people on each side. I was sitting with my family but my brother was right across from me and the other people opposite of me were complete strangers. I went to nurse dd and my shirt wouldn't lift because it was one of those with a tie in the back! I had to flop over, which I've never done before, my brother (who was 32 yrs old btw) was turning bright red and not knowing where to look or what to do, dd was screaming and not wanting to latch, my mom was panicking and trying to cover dd and I in piles of jackets, meanwhile some jerk 2 seats over from me is trying to pass food down to me and will not "allow" my brother to take it and put some on my plate and keep passing it since my brother was on the other side. It was a debacle to say the least and my best friend said she heard all about it for months on end after the wedding since those strangers, and the jerk, were all her co-workers
