Cleavage.

Perhaps I'm prudish but I've now got used to seeing women on TV showing low cleavage no matter the weather or occasion.
However I was surprised this morning to see an older plumpish MP being interviewed on Sky news with a revealing dress. Why? It's breakfast time on a chilly morning. I don't know anyone who does this. Even my daughter and dils wear a little camisole under their glamorous outfits.

I am 40FF and whilst nothing minimises them, I do wear round necks because I feel smarter like that.

To each HER own I say.

Well I see my “rude” response was deleted, but the original comment (with poor grammar) is still there!

Rather double standards methinks!

I’ll reiterate, I do not judge ANYONE for how they look, how much they weigh nor what they wear!

Poor grammar doesn’t matter on a forum and it isn’t done to point it out usually.

I think we all do judge how people look for various reasons, either consciously or unconsciously.

You must be quite unodservant not to notice other people. Without any judgement this morning in the coffee shop a woman squeezed into the space beside us. As she turned we were presented with an Enormous rear end nearly on our table. Nothing was said but my friend gave me one of those looks.Leggings too.

I had to laugh 😂

Sour grapes, come to mind!

If my cleavage was worth looking at, I would happily display it, but it ain't, so I don't!

If you've got it, flaunt it!

Clothing that fits is a good thing in most situations. Just think of a plumbers cleavage. You like that flaunted too? I must be old fashioned because I was taught that business dress, evening attire and longewear were different outfits.

That depends on the reason you are flaunting it. In the tech industry it would be I appropriate and so would men with shirts unbuttoned to their belts. Some men could flaunt that but it's not appropriate in all situations.

A while back I was having lunch out with a large group of ladies. I kept feeling something brushing against my chin.

Between courses I popped to the loo, looked in the mirror whilst washing my hands and was horrified to see several inches of my bra wire poking out the top of my dress!

I once used to long for a cleavage, but only acquired one once I was well past wanting to flaunt it. The difference between being a size 10 and a size 14….
