What's the use of a transparent bra, especially when the nipples are growing outside of the bra? This is a neckpiece, a bra, an armor, protection, a religious object, a constraint, an expectation, and so much more. The bra is made of plastic, an artificial material, while the nipples on the breasts are acorns, all natural. The acorns are secured with prong settings, which is often used for setting gemstones, dignifying natural reproduction, motherhood, and femininity.
