For years I have been hoping that I'd lose enough weight to wear my favourite dress. I bought it originally for my 70th birthday. Now past 80, I tried it on today and it fits perfectly. However, it does have rather a low neckline. Though I say it myself, I still have a good, unwrinkled cleavage, but at my age, will I look odd if I wear it? Or should I just put the dress on Ebay and buy one more befitting my age?
OP Age is just a number but people are obsessed by it. Don't let it define you. Some years ago, I read that the space between your breasts is a good indicator of age (although everyone's different). I mentioned it to my M-i-L (probably late 70s at the time) and her instant response was, "You could drive a bus between mine!" Had to laugh ???
Have you had honest opinions on your cleavage? What you consider to be good may not be viewed they same by others. When pising my cleavage looks great. However if I squeeze my arms against by chest it is not the same. Give it a test from different views unless you are guaranteed to stay bolt upright everytime you wear the dress. But, the decision is all down to you and no-one can dictate otherwise.
If it looks good and you like it, then wear it. To be honest, I sometimes think we worry too much about what others might be thinking of the clothes we choose to wear, when in reality, they are too busy preoccupied with their own worries or concerns to be bothered about what someone else has on. So go ahead and wear your lovely dress ?.
Of course you can. If you feel you might be showing just a little too much cleavage you can always place a brooch strategically. I do this with wrap dresses. Go for it and enjoy the compliments you are bound to receive.
The three presenters in Rio Off Britain show a bit of cleavage with some chunky necklaces. I think some are too heavy but they have some deep lines on their chests so that might be why. Personally, if you feel comfortable wearing it, you will carry it off. But what's your secret to an unlined chest? Sleeping on your back or that you've never sunbathed?
Has anyone else noticed that when someone starts a sentence with the words 'Sorry, but....' they will almost certainly follow it with something unkind or horrible about which they are not at all sorry or they wouldn't say it.
Sounds like you're proud of your lovely cleavage OP, so enjoy showing it off to its best advantage in your favourite dress.
Go for it! I'm only 61 but my cleavage isn't worth showing. Then again I've recently lost 6 stones so a lot of me isn't worth showing! And, knowing how hard it is, may I say congratulations for shifting the weight to get into the dress! Having done so, wear and and enjoy!
Do what you are comfortable doing. If you are unsure of showing your cleavage but want to wear the dress then just pop a thin cotton strapped vest to underneath, I do.
i have a few tops that i thought were showing a bit to much as i am a big busted lady and all my bras are sports type that give me a cleavage, i wear a thin strappy top underneath, if its a v-neck i sometimes put a couple of stitches in and wear a broach, i have fitted a small button and loop into blouses that have a lining inside or used a plain thin scarf with a ring to hold it together. if you feel comfortable in it wear it, i am 58 and a 44d bust and sometimes just say...what the hell, i like it.
Whatever turns you on I don’t show a cleavage. Although I have nice boobs I never did when I was young, it’s just not me. In private that’s different no inhibitions at all, OH likes that, LOL.
Great that you're still proud of your body at 80, so go for it. I also aren't keen on showing cleavage in public, probably due to a loss of confdence in my body when I was younger. The things we carry with us from our youth..
I would look for a pretty vest top with a Lacy bit on the front. Although you may have a wrinkle free cleavage, you might feel a little more comfortable and it would be more appropriate.
