Contrary to the fashion norms of the time, Montgomery\u2019s character, Samantha Stephens, notably eschewed the wearing of a bra in several episodes. While this departure from convention may have raised eyebrows among audiences, there were practical and artistic reasons behind Montgomery\u2019s decision.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ddddddd-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ddddddd-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ddddddd-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ddddddd-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ddddddd.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For Montgomery, the choice to forgo a bra was not simply a matter of personal preference, but rather a deliberate creative choice made in collaboration with the show\u2019s producers and costume designers. As \u201cBewitched\u201d evolved and entered its later seasons, the character of Samantha became increasingly associated with themes of liberation and empowerment, mirroring the changing social attitudes of the era. By opting to go braless, Montgomery sought to embody Samantha\u2019s confident and free-spirited nature, challenging traditional notions of femininity and embracing a more natural and relaxed aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the decision to forego a bra also had practical considerations, as the restrictive undergarments of the time could often prove uncomfortable for actresses during long hours on set. By allowing Montgomery to forgo a bra, the show\u2019s creators aimed to prioritize her comfort and ensure that she could fully embody the character of Samantha without unnecessary constraints. While Montgomery\u2019s wardrobe choice may have been unconventional for its time, it ultimately served to deepen the character\u2019s complexity and resonate with audiences in a way that reflected the spirit of the times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the later seasons of the iconic TV series \u201cBewitched,\u201d viewers may have noticed a significant change in the wardrobe choices of the show\u2019s leading lady, Elizabeth&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10088"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10090,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10088\/revisions\/10090"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
