Leopard print or skin?

So I have this leopard print nursing bra.  I love it and I hate it all at once.  I love putting on a bra in the morning that doesn't feel like its sole purpose is to be accessible for nursing - its super cute too!  It isn't the most comfortable bra I own, but that doesn't stop me from wearing it when I feel like it. 

The real problem is this feeling I get when I'm nursing in public - particularly in shul (synagogue).  I'm always sitting there wondering, can anyone see my bra?  What are people going to think of me if they can see it?!?!

I was thinking about this self conscious feeling as I put on this bra this morning and realized that people might be more likely to be uncomfortable with the actual skin that's showing since Daliya all of a sudden doesn't want my shirt touching her mouth while she nurses (that used to be my way of nursing "discreetly")!

What do you think?  Should I be more worried about the leopard print or the skin?  Post your vote in the comments below.

I say go leopardskin all the way. It's really nice to see a mom keeping in touch with her own femininity and still being all the mom she can be. I know that you are in a slightly more conservative community because of the synagogue but I still think that you should be able to embrace yourself. The skin deal will be a hit or miss because some people will just be blatantly offended and others will remember that that's likely what they did 40 years ago

Is it a big compromise to reposition the direction you are sitting or move to the back row or back of room? The world is full of people with differing opinions.
