You just live with it.you just try not to bend over in public. Loose clothes can be too revealing unless the neckline goes to your collarbone.

I tend to buy larger sizes and get them tailored, so the fit well but not skin tight. I also never wear a padded bra, unless it's the kind that are super slim. (Tshirt style bra)

I do dress conservatively on the whole, but pretty much any top will show some cleavage unless it is a button up or to my collar bone.

I stay away from turtlenecks, as the girls look humongous and like torpedoes.

I will layer a light and thin jacket on top of my workout gear, as its a bit too sexy.

I tend to also dress up so I look "classy" instead of sexy.

Pencil skirts and fifties style dresses are your best friend.

LOL, the older I get the better I like it when they stare. Though these days they may be staring for other reasons like I might have a strip of toilet paper hanging off the top of my jeans.

You have to have a perfect figure to pull that look off.
There are some cheats to make that look work, as long as you are smaller in the waist. Make the skirt a little longer and move the crop so only a small sliver of tummy is showing, and it is cute on quite a few more body types, if you have well fitting clothing.

Check out Mindy Kalig!

Most women, provided they have waist definition, can pull off a full skirt and tucked in shirt. It looks super cute!
Try this look!

Oh, yes.i would wear both of those looks easily. Although my daughter might object to the crop top. ;-) the bottom photos neckline should be lower or have a long necklace to break up the bosom.

Knee-lenght skirt or dress with cleavage covered (w/ correct bra size because most don't wear the right bra).

I can't single out one item of clothing that works for every woman. I saw a few women today who were just plainly dressed, nothing provocative, and I couldn't take my eyes off of them.

There simply is something attractive about every woman, regardless of what she wears.

A lot of it really depends on the womans shape.

Last week I ran into Iggy Azalea while out running some errands and she was wearing something similar to the girl in this photo - crop top and longer/flowy pleated skirt. She looked AMAZING!! For her, it was very conservative, yet extremely fashionable. She seriously looked like a fashion model who was just out to buy some dog food for her dogs. She pulled off that look extremely well.

EDIT: I was referring to the girl in Jade408's post who was wearing the purple shirt and blue dress.

Slutty high heels, some pieces of jewelry. Nothing else.
