Braless order at school - Malaysia Star

STUDENTS of a secondary school in Singapore, who were recently found to be wearing coloured bras to school, were forced to go braless, reported China Press.

According to the daily, the school only allowed students to wear white, beige and light grey bras.

The daily said most of the affected students were caught wearing coloured bras during a Physical Education class

They were forced to remove the bras in the bathroom, which were then confiscated.

Describing the action as “too much”, the daily quoted the students as saying they were mortified, more so as male teachers were present.

The daily said a school spokesman admitted that those who had given the order had “gone overboard.”

She said the school had decided to provide white bras for those flouting the rules.

The daily also reported that several schools in the republic were taking different approaches in dealing with the matter.

One school was already selling bras to students.

Others had informed the parents before asking the students to leave the school to change their bras.

The beads are sewn on the sides, center panel and straps. Angel patterns were also etched onto the cups.

But starting April 8, you can go to Robinsons at Raffles City to have a closer look at this one-of-a-kind "wonder bra".

Also on display is the Pearl bra specially flown in from Japan. It is valued at more than $207,000.
