Cleavage.

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

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.

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.

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.

No, Annodomini, not at 78!

If you've got it, flaunt it!

Why?

If you've got it, flaunt it!

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

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

PS I quoted the OP cos IDNRTFT 😜

I don't mean to cover up as a v neck is very flattering for bigger women.Just do up the lower button or add a scarf.

I’m agreeing with Witzend , I sometimes wonder if it’s accidental

TBH I do think some women only feel that they look attractive if they have half their dumplings boiling over - as a colleague of my mother used to put it!

I can assure you that half my dumplings boiling over is not my style.

I invest in good quality bras which are expertly fitted, with regular measuring.

Big books!! Boobs! Bosoms, bazonkas!!

It can look quite matronly to cover up big books, I think.
From what I can remember, on the days when mine were big, as opposed to long, like they are now.

It may be to distract the men from listening to what they are saying if they are politicians.

If you have big boobs, sometimes it actually looks a lot worse if you try to cover them up.

Not if you invest in a good fitting bra.

If you say so. I've had very good fitting bras over the years, but I still look awful if I wear high necked tops.

Exactly, GrannyGravy13 - I look awful if I wear anything with a high neck too. I'm not saying you should have 'everything' out on display, but I definitely look better with a bit of cleavage. V necks are far more flattering if you are 'blessed' in the bosom department!

I always wear v neck tops or scoop necklines but I ensure my bra is fitted correctly and I never have a couple of jellies wobbling over the top of my bra.

To be truthful I think the same as kircubbin2000. There is nothing more off putting than seeing a woman wearing a low cut top with an overspill and when she moves it is like a wobbly jelly. All I think is for god's sake buy a proper fitting bra.

If my tops are cut low because of the style, I always wear a camisole under it and I don't have an overspill as my bras fit me perfectly.

I agree, it’s not a good look. 🥴

Some women enjoy having big boobs and like showing them off. Why not?

I squash mine into minimiser bras and cover them up. Why not?

Each to her own.

‘Older, plumpish’ perhaps you find it acceptable with a ‘younger, skinny’ woman?
I never really notice, was she saying anything interesting?

I am in that category. Think Dolly Parton without the hair or money 🤣🤣🤣

5’2” size 10 bottom half accompanied with a 32HH bust.

Shopping for dresses is a nightmare, and I wear dresses 50% of the time. V neck is far more flattering than a high neck.
