I've acquired a cleavage, is it suitable for a wedding?

[Lowlight282]

I've always been very slim but have hit 40, gained some weight and grown a fine pair of boobs. I've got a wedding to go to in the autumn, have bought a beautiful dress that's fully lined with a boned top section that gives me a cleavage. I've never ever had a cleavage before, I feel very exposed, I actually feel like I might as well be walking around with my boobs fully out. DH says I look lovely. I want to wear the dress but now I'm questioning if it's appropriate to have a cleavage in a church! It's not something I've ever taken notice of before and I suspect I'm being ridiculous but what's the general consensus on this?

Not inappropriate but that full length picture really shows you could do with a better bra. Suspect you're in something a bit small and maybe t-shirt? If you get something with three seams and a balconette, they'll be a better shape and higher, which ironically with reduce the cleavage a bit.

Having seen the photos I'm amazed anyone is saying it's inappropriate. I wouldn't even register that as cleavage to be honest - it's just a boobed person wearing a dress.

Take a wrap thing so you can hide them from Jesus. Job done.

It's lovely OP and definitely not too low cut. Enjoy the wedding and your new boobs!

You look lovely! I'd wear it if I had a gorgeous figure like yours (i have the cleavage but not the waist)

I'm not wearing a bra, I didn't think you needed to with a boned top? Who knew breasts could be so complicated 😄

The dress is not to my taste but that wasn’t the question..... I think it’s absolutely fine for church and fits you a treat. The service is only going to be an hour of the day ( unless we’re talking catholic ceremony here). Your boobs honestly don’t look as big as you think they do if that helps.

You look amazing and that’s totally fine for a wedding!

I’ve also recently acquired a cleavage (breastfeeding) gone from a B to an F😂 no bloody clue how to dress the buggers.

You look absolutely lovely, OP.

Oh goodness yes you need a bra! Take yourself and the dress to Bravissimo and get them to find you something. You'll probably find you're less cleavagey with a well-fitting bra.

You look great OP, lovely dress and definitely not too much. Have a great time at the wedding!

You look absolutely brilliant, OP. It's not a dress I'd have initially chosen but on you it looks so good and not at all inappropriate.

Actually, the full length picture makes it look much better than the fulsome breast pictures.

Agree with PP that you definitely need a bra!!

A balconette bra will he best with that neckline, wearing one will probably make you feel more 'secure' and less cleavage-y as well.

'Hide them from Jesus'! Haha!!! 😂

Sorry, should have also said you look lovely OP.

@Yellowcrockpot - It’s a bit early, but l’ll drink to that. Your comments sum it up perfectly! 🥂

Op something like this

Would work well with that neckline!

It's not appropriate for a church (too low/wide and a touch 'milkmaid/wench' like) but its a nice dress and you look lovely in it.

I think the dress looks fantastic on you. And I don't think it's too much cleavage for a wedding. BUT - I wonder if you'll just feel uncomfortable and self conscious all day and not be able to relax. You're asking about it here because you feel 'exposed', so will any amount of reassurance ever be enough?

Yep a good balcony/balconette bra will make all the difference OP and make you feel much more comfortable

It's absolutely balanced some sleeve, longer Length so not too much leg. I actually feel it could be more knee length and still be lovely. Go for it Op.

Ah. New boob owner error. You pretty much always need a bra. I agree with pp that you need a bit more lift. Pro tip: do some very vigorous dancing in front of the mirror and see where they end up.

Apart from that though, I think you look fab. I love dark florals.

Perfect church wedding dress. 👌

Looks gorgeous OP! Beautiful dress and stunning figure. You go girl!

OP you look fabulous It's because your boobs are new and you are not used to them I've had large boobs since I was a teenager so I've had plenty of time to get used to them. I will say though that when I finally realised the M&S way of measuring was so wrong and got myself to Bravissimo, I stood in front of the mirror and thought Holy Heck, look at those

As previous posters have said, those of us that have them can't just get rid of them so embrace your new boobs! I definitely agree with taking a wrap for the church, because it could be cold, you may feel self conscious and also to 'hide them from Jesus" Have a great time!
