Am I too old to show my cleavage?

Wear the dress with pride , and forget what people think or say. It is you, and not them. Be happy .

Buy a dress befitting your age? What would that be like then? If you love your dress and it makes you feel good, then wear it and have a lovely time.

Very much agree with this. You can always add a gorgeous necklace if you feel the need to distract from your perfectly acceptable flesh!

There are many things that happen to stop us doing things we like, such as health issues. So do wear your dress, enjoy it and make the most of anything that gives you pleasure and does no harm to anyone else. I remember my mothers parents keeping things 'for best' and wearing the old stuff for much of the time , I wear old stuff for gardening or doing dirty jobs in the house but make the most of clothes I enjoy. My favourite thing I wear pleases on two levels. It is a blue silk blouse which feels wonderful and looks ok with skirts or trousers and I bought it in an Ann Harvey sale for £12.50 about 10 years ago. I get a kick out of wearing it and knowing that I have had great value for money too. I dont care whether it is fashionable or if people have seen it 50 times over it pleases me and that is what matters. Enjoy your dress and take pleasure in wearing it and dont worry what anyone else thinks , you enjoy it and good luck to you

Wear it with pride. I wear skirts above my knees and low cut cleavage dresses I’m 42d size 16/18 in my 70s. Your as old you feel.

I think Sally12 was just trying to be helpful and alleviate the worry.

I think you should wear your dress if it makes you feel good. You probably look lovely in it and it sounds like it makes you feel confident. People will always will always have their own thoughts and will make comments be it positive or negative. I am 65 now and quite honestly I don’t really care what others think. I will wear what I want when I want, so go for it and wear your dress with pride.

wear whatever makes you feel wonderful

Wear it

Oh yuck, Platypus. I’m with halfpint. I was going to say ‘common’ and now I have. I live in a tourist area and some of the ample cleavages (coupled with uncovered wobbly arms and often tattoos) on display look gross. Sympathy to your friend though.

If you like yourself in it then wear it. Its nobody else's business

Shake what your mumma gave you and be proud. My friend Donna is dying from breast cancer and believe me, she’d love to still have breasts and if she did she’d be proud of that cleavage. Life’s too short to one day regret not wearing it - you put those girls on show!

So what’s the secret to the weight loss at 70 though? What’d you do? Special diet? Extra exercise? Magic pills?

Regardless of what anyone says on here, if you’re asking the question should you wear it, then you must feel slightly uncomfortable about potentially wearing it.

If you’re comfortable about when wearing it then go ahead, but if not then don’t, as that’s all you’ll be thinking about when you do wear it. If that makes sense!

That makes sense!

Tacky

Not a fan of older women showing cleavage. My kids would be embarrassed and I think it looks tack and desperate.

I have a friend who is 70 and has her (very ample) cleavage on show at every possible opportunity. She doesn't give a hoot what anyone else thinks.

I’ve never liked seeing women of whatever age displaying their cleavage. I know I won’t be popular for saying that. I’m not a prude, far from it. I’ve just never thought it looks good or stylish.

Age is irrelevant - personal pride is the thing. If I don't feel fabulous, then I don't wear it.

I am a big fan of draping a scarf to finish off an outfit so if you are in any doubt try that anno. You can always whip it off if you feel it is unnecessary.

I think you should wear whatever you want; we all should.

Wear it and be fabulous.

Good idea FC

Can you post a picture of the dress please Anno?
You don’t need to be inside it!

If I had a cleavage I’d flaunt it. Go for it!

Have you tried wearing it at home and seeing how you feel doing everyday things in it, that might give you a better idea of how you feel in it. Having waited 10 years to wear it I say crack on.
