A letter to the fashion people at Dexter

Dear fashion people who work on the Dexter set,

I love Dexter.  I love Hannah McKay.  I do not, however, love that Hannah McKay appears to have zero fashion sense when it comes to pairing her bras with her tops.  Here’s a hint:  white bras go under white tops.  You can see the black bras through her white shirts.  It’s distracting and annoying.

Since it would seem that she and Dexter will be spending some more time together next season, I thought I’d be a good citizen and draw you a handy little guide that you can use while selecting her wardrobe.  Feel free to print it out.  Finder of a racer-back bra to go beneath her racer-back tanks, I’m looking at you.

BraStrap

This post is dedicated to my friend Sara who found it disturbing that both her sister Julie and I commented on the black bra under a white top.  Here’s a direct quote from the email she exchange:

“But meanwhile, I find it disturbing that you both commented on the black bra under a white top. Sure, that was stupid, but to me, the FAR MORE disturbing offense was the racer-back top with regular bra that seemed to destroy every outfit she wore.  Ugh. I hate that.

It’s like people don’t even CARE anymore.

What is the world coming to?????”

Like how I addressed BOTH of Sara’s issues in my crappy drawing?  Me, too!

  • Misty @ Meet the Cottons - i don’t watch dexter, so i’ll have to look this chic up on imbd. i couldn’t think of anything embarrasing to comment on that other post of yours about embarrassing moments. but, this one brought back an embarrassing memory! i once wore a black bra under a white shirt….to Lowe’s. luckily the shirt had a design on the front so it wasn’t just a white shirt. but, i had a paint sample mixed and i thought the paint counter guy was kind of too friendly. i imagine he was trying not to die laughing in my face at my wardrobe malfuction! i didn’t notice anything until i got home.January 15, 2013 – 4:47 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - You brought up a good point…perhaps I should include some photos of the character Hannah for those who don’t watch Dexter.
      And that’s funny about you at the paint store. You probably made that guy’s week!
      Thanks for the comment!January 15, 2013 – 7:11 pmReplyCancel

  • Misty @ Meet the Cottons - oh! and i finally got an email notification from your blog! hooray!January 15, 2013 – 4:47 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - YAY! What a relief! Who knows how many posts you’ve missed. You should probably read them all, just to be safe! 😉January 15, 2013 – 7:10 pmReplyCancel

  • Sara - My champion! My hero! Sing it to the hilltops, Sister! …and may the world (and Dexter’s fashion people) hear you. The beauty of the racer-back is how great it makes your shoulders look (just look at the first drawing above!). It cuts a beautiful line from armpit toward the neck. When people wear bra straps that go straight up it ruins the line. I can only imagine there’s an army of motherless women out there who didn’t have someone to teach them. What a relief that you have stepped in to be Mother to All. Teach us, Oh Wise One. We will listen.January 15, 2013 – 5:34 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Sara, YAY! Singing! To the hilltops! And pretty sure I just scared off the neighbor’s cat. And you’re so right about the racer-back tank’s main purpose of making our shoulders look fabulous is totally ruined by the up-n-down bra strap action. Generations to come will thank us for this amazingly helpful advice.January 15, 2013 – 7:25 pmReplyCancel

  • Love&Giggles - But white bras show through more then black bras. nude bra is what she should be wearing!January 16, 2013 – 7:53 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - UGH so true. Something I probably forget all the time, my own bra dumbass self…thanks for the correction!!!January 16, 2013 – 10:13 pmReplyCancel

  • Rachel - There you go with those pictures. They crack me up every time! I don’t even watch Dexter. Hell, we don’t even have a tv, but I was right with you, nodding my head. It’s the pictures!January 16, 2013 – 11:04 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - You don’t have a TV? I’m soooo impressed! I don’t watch much, but Dexter is one show I’m addicted to. I find that I only watch cable stuff…but still, impressed!!!January 16, 2013 – 11:19 pmReplyCancel

  • Tiffany - I have noticed all she wears is black bras under white tops. It has been driving me insane. But I think it’s for a reason. Every woman (should) knows to never pair a black bra under a white top. This leads me believe either a man is dressing her, or it is on purpose. Being this is the only match Hannah makes, I think it’s a symbol. Maybe it means she is trying to appear safe and innocent, but she’s really dark and is going to betray Dex. Or maybe her fashion people are just naive.January 8, 2014 – 11:07 pmReplyCancel

  • Trina - I know this is an old post and all, but I just wanted to say. A white bra would show just as bad as a black bra. The correct bra to wear under a sheer or white shirt, would be nude. Same goes for white pants. Nude underwear is the way to go.March 31, 2014 – 12:07 amReplyCancel

  • Brian Scott - It was a thing on Dexter. It started way before Hannah. I noticed it a long time ago and it drove me nuts. Whoever dresses the girls would put them in Black bra so that the black bra shows through the top. It’s over and over and over again, watch from the beginningAugust 9, 2021 – 8:52 amReplyCancel
