I modified it for SHIELD purposes with these patches, secured with E6000. The only problem with that is that I kept catching the darn things while taking my purse on and off. No, I couldn't figure out a way to go entirely without a purse for a full day. Underneath I wore some cheap Shapewear from Walmart that's really super comfortable along with a regular bra and panties. Upside is that despite being s…
