Cleavage.

I wonder if she'd come straight from a late night-early morning cocktail party?

PS I quoted the OP cos IDNRTFT 😜

Oh! Seems I didn't quote the OP. Oh well 🙂

If you've got it, flaunt it!

If you've got it, flaunt it!

Why?

No, Annodomini, not at 78!

Kirkubbin, not prudish but surprised by how the MP interprets fashion.

I don't favour the political stance of Penny Mordaunt MP but her choice of apparel is faultless for suiting her circumstances. I recall her amazing performance at the Coronation where, if you rememeber ,she was Sword Bearer.

In the House she dresses simply but authoritatively in modest navy blue style.

I have no idea who this was or what she was wearing or why.

If I was in a glamorous outfit though I would have been either off somewhere or coming back from somewhere where glamour was the expected dress code...

If I was trying to be glamorous I would not wear a little camisole under my glamorous outfit I don't think.

The OP is not talking about women swathing themselves to the neck in clothes, just saying that, anyone, regardless of cup size can wear a top that is inappropriately low for the occasion.

If you are a politician (male or female) being interviewed on tv on a serious topic, then do not wear anything that will distract anyone's attention from what you are saying and if your top is so at a height where it is going to attract attention that should be given to what you are saying then it is too low for the occasion.

The same top might attract no attention at all in a different situation. It has got nothing to do with 'body shaming'. It is saying that a top or a skirt length is anappropriate for the occasion, no more and no less.

Blimey!

It’s the 21st Century and women are still telling and/or commenting on what other women choose to wear.

It is comments like these on this thread which made me make an appointment with a surgeon to have a breast reduction, fortunately Covid lockdowns meant the operation was postponed.

I had a long hard talk with myself and decided that my body was as good as anybody else’s

GrannyGravy, do we not have right to expect MPs to display gravitas when they are on duty? The woman who works as an MP can wear what she likes when it's appropriate to appear sexy, however what she wears as an MP matters to my assessment whether or not she is a responsible enough person to be an MP.
Sexy is inappropriate for MP apparel.

I’ve just had a look in the mirror , my bosom is neatly tucked in and will not displease or scare the horses ! I have a good bra that rounds them up etc..
I am 40 g

Is it body-shaming?

Surely there's a time and a place for showing off your boobs, pecs / 6-pack, shapely bottom, or any other part of the female - or male - anatomy?

There's nothing wrong with any of those attributes, but the focus should be on the event / occasion, or the issue at hand.

Kircubbin2000 it would be helpful if you had a screenshot of the MP in question and named her so that we could see the offensive décolletage for ourselves.

As it stands we are discussing a topic withiut full knowledge.

aggie I love the idea of you "rounding up" your 40G boobs.

Since mine began the long journey south I will have to think about "rounding them up etc."

I think it’s quite sad when older women who clearly had a bust to be proud of when they were young nevertheless show off too much of a wrinkled weatherbeaten décolletage .
(Ducks behind sofa) it’s very ageing.
Only jealous really never had a figure to show off!

I don't know who she as as I was distracted by her dress. I will watch in case the item is repeated.

With respect, GG13, we know exactly what we're talking about: inappropriately low decolletage.

Baggs

With respect, GG13, we know exactly what we're talking about: inappropriately low decolletage.

But not having seen the décolletage ourselves we only have the OP’s description of how low it was.

One woman's low, may be another's high!

I agree with kircubbin. I prefer to see politicians wearing clothes which are not distracting. This would apply if it was a boilersuit in the HoC or a low cut cocktail dress, torn jeans or other fancy dress. Surely that should be reserved for informal occasions?

turn the tv off or look at another channel, what a stupid post, let people show what they like.

My thinking was is this someone on their way out or way back and has been interviewed with no notice and nobody else was available?

Is it possible she was looking fine standing up (if she was seated)?
Where was the camera situated?

Yes agree. Showing off a wrinkled décolletage is a definite no no.

Poppyred

Yes agree. Showing off a wrinkled décolletage is a definite no no.

But that "no no" reinforces the disgust that some feel towards old people.

Ageing skin on both women and men wrinkles and sags - it's a fact of life, should we be ashamed, or shamed for it?

Personally, I think both the old and the young should dress according to the time-and-place.

On a beach you might see many older people in their swimming gear, they shouldn't feel they have to hide the fact that they have aged.

... they would of course look out of place dressed for the beach if they were being interviewed in the hallowed halls of Westminster.

I cannot see any reason at all, regardless of century why I should not comment on what other people are wearing or say when I think it is in appropriate.

Man, woman or child I will still comment, whether to admire, be amused by, or say that I consider someone is inappropriately dressed or has absolutely got it right for the occasion.

Like everything else in life, one needs to know when it appropriate to comment and when not.
