A front-tie top may refer to a [[bikini]] top (or less commonly, a [[bra]] undergarment such as at post #478758) which closes in front of the chest by two or more ends tied together, forming a knot between the breasts. It may also refer to a [[tied_shirt|plain shirt]] or [[crop_top|crop top]] tied in the same manner, forming a type of [[halterneck]] which both emphasizes the resulting bare [[midriff]] and the bustline or [[cleavage]]. Variations may be purely ornamental in nature rather than functional (e.g. [[bow bra]], post #490346), mostly theoretical (a mere ribbon at post #652439), or may feature a [[o-ring_top|metal loop]] to help connect bra cups together and tie to a neck strap.

The term could arguably be used to describe a [[corset]], [[bustier]] or other similar garment which features a frontal latticework that, in turn, terminates in a central knot (e.g. post #419234).
