Dress Cleavage?

Mrs.Hamilton'17, on October 7, 2016 at 11:57 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 44

Yesterday was my first time trying on dresses and I already found one that I love! But, my mom thinks it shows to much cleavage. What is everyone's thoughts on how much cleavage is ok?

    I think that it depends on what you are comfortable with. Personally I try to dress modest (no not skirts to the ground and a turtle neck) when I can because then I feel like I don't have to worry about anything falling out lol. For me I didn't want a strapless dress because I didn't want the girls to fall out. So I looked for more coverage and straps. My dress is front and back Vneck and shows a little cleavage & I am okay with it. My main point here i guess is make sure you won't have to mess with the dress too much while wearing it.

    Are you getting married in a church? If you are, I do not think cleavage is appropriate and I am not even a religious person, just a respectful one. But really, the most important thing is, are YOU comfortable showing that much? If you are okay with it and are okay ignoring opinions like your mom's, then I think you made your choice.

    ETA- good point MeettheBrowns about others looking at you and seeing your chest.

    I think you look incredible, but it depends on how you feel. If you're comfortable wearing that then go for it.

    Mine has a similar neck line. And my sides and back are shear too. All depends on your likes, how comfortable you are. I thought for sure my mom would have fallen over for how much this showed but she freaking loved this. Took me by surprise.

    I think it looks beautiful on you, but it just depends what you're comfortable with. And think about your pictures, I didn't want my boobs to be the first thing people's eyes went to, but I don't think that dress is too revealing.

    I think you look gorgeous. There is cleavage but it doesn't look distasteful, in my opinion. It simply matches the vibe of the rest of the dress.

    That being said, it could be that having that amount of cleavage paired with the sexier, form-fitting-ness of the dress is what is making your mom feel that you look too "exposed."

    I think the dress is beautiful but how do you feel on it? If you are in love with it, go for it!

    If you are just ok, keep shopping!

    May be seamstress can put semi sheer panel?

    I love that neck line!

    It boils down to "how do you want to feel?" on your wedding day? Sexy? glamorous? chic? pretty?

    For me, personally, both those dresses show too much skin. But I've got huge boobs so I always feel like I have too much cleavage even in just a t-shirt.

    Both of you ladies have great figures, and if sexy is what you're going for, you hit it.

    ETA: @Melissa, my boobs are always "out" so that was a huge concern for me when deciding what to wear which led to me covering them up completely and showing off my legs instead. The girls can have a fucking day off so all of my photos don't end up looking like boudoir shots.

    You look f**king hot! I think as long as you are comfortable than that is what matters. Your mother will just be happy if you are happy especially on the big day!!!

    You look amazing in that dress! If you're comfortable, rock it! I usually have more cleavage than my mom would prefer- I actually like being busty and think its ok to highlight The Girls a little considering all you deal with with big boobs (working out, finding clothes that fit). I'd advise you to sit down and bend over in the dress and have someone take a picture. I had a tasteful amount of "church cleavage" in my dress, but in a few photos when I'm seated and leaning forward, it turned into a LOT of cleavage.

    As said above- if you're comfortable- wear it.

    Nothing worse than a woman who isn't comfortable with her chest pulling up her dress all day- or caving her shoulders forward to bring less attention to her cleavage- which- actually does the opposite- draws the eye in.

    If you are okay with it- then do it.

    If you think you are going to be remotely self conscious- don't.

    I think you look beautiful and the dress is stunning. If you are comfortable with that much cleavage and it fits the location of your ceremony and reception (that dress is probably not appropriate for most houses of worship) then you should go for it. If you think you won't be comfortable and will be thinking about your cleavage, then you should see if a seamstress can alter the dress to make it more modest, or consider finding a different dress.

    It's totally up to you, I think you look amazing and I do not think that amount of cleavage is inappropriate.

    I personally don't like to wear anything too revealing unless I'm going out out with H or my girlfriends. When I'm around my in-laws, my family, or other adults, I keep it pretty modest. So it just depends on what you're comfortable with.
