I think that top looks GREAT on you, and I wouldn’t hesitate a moment to wear it...if I could fill it out. I think that’s a very modest amount of cleavage on display, and if I passed you on the street my only thought would be how charming you look in your outfit. I do endorse the use of double-sided tape. I often resort to it when wearing lower cut tops since I have small chest and want to ensure that eveything remains where it should be!

I'm with Janet. I think it's fine. We all have different body shapes, and having a more prominent bust is just your particular body shape. I'm not a fan of people feeling like they need to hide their bodies because they have a particular shape.

It looks beautiful on you, and exactly how the designer intended I would imagine. I think it’s totally fine modesty wise. Yes, it shows cleavage, but the skirt is very modest so the overall look is balanced.

Nice top, and it looks good on you. However, I wouldn't leave the house in a top like this without wearing either a tank/camisole underneath or a light scarf over the cleavage. Suggested colours: yellow, light blue, navy, white or black

Anchie, the fact that you titled this post "feeling uncomfortable" says to me that you're not going to feel confident in this look. I don't feel judgmental about people showing cleavage but I'm not comfortable with it for myself.

It looks beautiful on you but unless you want to push through the discomfort it may not be for you . I struggle with this all the time ! Sometimes I think I need to be braver and other times I think ..nah..I want to be comfy

Hi Anchie --

You look gorgeous in the top and that'd be my thought if I saw you in a non-work setting.

For me personally (wearer) -- what Jules said.

If you're comfortable, wear it. If not, I hope you find a solution that lets you wear it!

I'm a big fan of the half-cami (aka demi cami) mentioned above and own several colors with necklines in varied heights because:

  • many people are taller than me and so their view is down vs straight on...and necklines do shift around
  • I like the added sun protection!
  • the demi-cami softens the neckline of the V, which is more flattering with my face shape, and -- if it's a contrasting color -- colorblocks my torso (more flattering on me than a higher neckline)

This post is very relevant to me because I have that top too (in a darker blue tulip pattern) and I struggle with it a little bit because it does tend toward being revealing the way the fabric slips open on me. I wear mine at home and not to work, like you said, although I would wear it to work with a cami if I had a dressy bottom that worked well with it. I think you look gorgeous, and I love the way you paired it with that skirt. This is inspiring me to find more ways to wear my top when cooler weather comes back.

Interesting how opinions on this are so divided. It never occurred to me that what I am wearing can make other people uncomfortable.
What I don't like about v necks is that they require constant attention, checking and adjusting. And when my kids were small there were lot of bending and carrying and little hands grabbing everywhere and crew necks became much more practical and safer choice. Over the time I completely removed v-necks from my wardrobe and have not wear them in years. So maybe it is just question of adjusting my eyes to showing this part of my body again. And regarding unwanted attention - I don't think this will be an issue, I noticed that since having gray hair I became much more invisible. Not that I miss unwanted glares and stares LOL. Any other gray hair ladies noticed that?
I did wear top yesterday and it was fine, but I will try to find coordinating cami to make it more wearable.
