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

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?

Go to Bravissimo for a fitting or do it yourself using the boob or bust website www.booborbust.com/ Whatever you do, do NOT go to M&S they are dreadful for fittings. You may also find that you need a different size dress once you've got a bra on, or alterations to the original one. IME alterations aren't as expensive as you might think and totally worth it.

Yes I think the sleeves will need altering once the boobs have been hoiked up! There's a great seamstress in our town who doesn't charge much.

@HoldontoOneMoreDay
Pro tip: do some very vigorous dancing in front of the mirror and see where they end up.

OMG. Yes to this 😂

You don’t need a bra with that dress! That is why the top is designed as it is.
