The Caddy - S7-E12

Question: When Elaine pointed out that her gift for Sue Ellen was a bra, not a top, Sue Ellen said she knew that. So why was she wearing it as a top anyway - and not wearing bras underneath her clothes before?

Answer: She's a woman utterly unashamed of her body, not afraid to go braless or to wear a bra in lieu of a top.

Answer: I agree with the other answer, but I also think that Sue Ellen might be "lazy" about wearing bras. Because she is a wealthy woman (heiress to a candy bar fortune), most people probably try to stay on her good side, so nobody dares to say anything. I think she purposely wore the bra without a top as a way of taunting Elaine because Elaine tried to correct her.
