If you have a beige bra under a white shirt...it doesn't show...no worries. No..it's not tacky..having NO bra would be tacky!

Agreed-beige bra is the way to go. A white bra will show through. An unadorned T-shirt bra would be best.

I never let my bra show. If I'm wearing a white shirt, I make sure it isn't see through. If I even think it's on the border, I wear a sweater or something over it. I find almost every shirt for women at Old Navy to be too thin.

From a guy's POV, no bra is preferable if the young lady can wear it correctly.

Your shirt is too small, or the bra is. You should not seen "indentations".

The tradition is wearing a cotton teddy over your bra. I have heard that foam round-cupped bras are great for this use too.
I think you are going to worry about "showing" all day when you wear it despite whether you find a solution to the "indentations".
If you are not going to be comfortable wearing it for whatever reason then it could make some sense returning it to the store to exchange with something that camouflages the areas you worry about.

Since we are on the topic, do you think it's tacky in the summertime if a woman shows bra straps when she's wearing a tank top?

Get a plain white bra underneath..

White shirts demand white bras.
