Am I too old to show my cleavage?

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?

Sally12 thank you for the link. I thought OP was a bit anxious about showing her cleavage too but apparently not. Which is fine, but nice that you took the time to give some alternatives. Certainly helped me

Thank you. I certainly wasn’t being judgmental and definitely not intending to be rude - just trying to help smile

Wear it, and don't bother about what anyone else thinks. As long as it makes you feel good that's all that matters.

Have you seen Gloria Hunniford recently?

There are more pleasant ways of responding and offering an opinion. No need to be rude.

Marydoll Sun 15-Aug-21 19:09:52

Anno, as a fellow Scot Anno, you may remember this saying; Dont be so pass remarkable! Ignore the rudeness!

lemsip Sun 15-Aug-21 19:06:57

anno is asking for opinions so no need for anyone to pick at anothers response is there.

Maybe a photo of you in said dress ?smile

It’s your favourite dress, it fits perfectly and your cleavage looks fine. Wear it smile

Sorry - but I've never known anyone past 80 with a cleavage worth showing - so do, please, cover up!

How flipping rude!

Could you wear a strappy vest top under it, which has a slightly higher neckline?

But why?

Oh, I just thought the OP was a bit anxious about it? If it looks fine, then no problem. I certainly couldn’t carry it off grin

Perhaps Anno can. It's her cleavage, to do with what she wants!

annodomini Sun 15-Aug-21 19:00:29

Hetty58, I'd be happy to prove you wrong!

Visgir1 Sun 15-Aug-21 18:59:45

You go girl!

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.

BlueBelle Sun 15-Aug-21 18:58:36

TillyTrotter Sun 15-Aug-21 18:52:18
