Ladies and Gents, whats your limit before a you deem it inappropriate for dates?
The boyfriend and I have been dating for three months and we're in the "comfort" zone - I feel comfortable around him but I did play hard to get for a while. I've never dressed super sexy around him - besides it's still pretty chilly here down under and I'm in the mood to sort of tease but not go over the top. I'm generally quite conservative so this will sort of surprise him! Being 5'4" I am quite blessed to have small thin arms and full C cups.
The most cleavage from memory I have ever had worn was a singlet top which was very low cut - revealing almost 5-6 inches, but I've only worn that once. I do get a kick out of the attention but I don't think I'll ever wear it again - it was just a bit too much attention from men that I didn't want it from.
I am fairly well endowed but I prefer not to show cleavage, except my bathing suit where I can't help it (the current suit, next one I buy will cover some more).
As far as looking at it, I just want to say, cleavage is OK but when I am looking at your abdomen between or underneath, it looks kind of weird.
I agree with you as far as unwanted attention from men.
Clubbing - try to make sure the nipples are covered, and after that, anything goes.
Parent/teacher conference - covered up to the neck so nobody calls CPS, unless of course the teacher is male and you're trying to boost your child's grade.
...and so on.
As for dates specifically, really, it still depends upon the circumstance. I mean I doubt I'd be wearing a short skirt and a ton of cleavage for a coffee date. Or really any date where I wasn't counting on getting l*id. Honestly, for a first date I don't mind showing off "a bit" but it's never going to be a ridiculously overflowing amount of boobage popping out of everywhere.
Just dress for what is appropriate for the weather and the event you are attending, and make sure YOU feel confident in what you wear. It isnt up to anyone else to tell you what is too much or too little. No us. Not your boyfriend. No one. Just wear what YOU feel comfortable in and everyone is happy. Stop seeking outside counsel from strangers on the internet for what they feel is appropriate or inappropriate for YOU.
It depends on the date and the person. Women that are busty seem to catch a lot more flak and more stink-eye and more shame for showing the same amount of cleavage that people wouldn't bat an eyelash over a smaller woman wearing to a PTO meeting or to church. So just go with what you feel comfortable and confident in and see what kind of reaction you get.
I don't have any advice, particularly if you are young. After age 45, just make sure showing cleavage does not also show a wrinkle. I've seen that a few times, and I don't think it is a good look.
You know what I mean? The wrinkle that shows when the pushup bra pushes up against the chest skin and causes a wrinkle?
That is not a youthful look, IMO.
Older women can show more cleavage than younger with no problems. I am now in my 60s, have always had a large chest. When younger I was far more demure and covered up more. Now I feel free - I show what I want, and it's OK because I am mature. I am comfortable now with who I am and I dress in a way that pleases me. No, I do not dress like a "*****" or anything, I don't like that look, but I don't mind showing off cleavage, it is one of the assets I still have going for me at my age. Age does matter in these situations. Everyone should dress how they feel comfortable.
