I think the neckline is stylistically necessary, to bring some light into an otherwise dark outfit. Darker skinned fabbers can get a similar effect with a lighter fabric. It's all about contrast;-)

Um, where does one get that fashion tape that J Lo and others use to keep their Oscar dresses in place? I would definitely need some of that.

hmmm... it might just help with my hot flashes!
but the girls might be a bit overexposed...!

The stylish choice to wear to your open heart surgery.

At least if I'm going to get arrested, I want it to be for robbing that bank to afford the Burberry moto of my dreams. Not for indecent exposure, which would happen here.

Perfect for when I'm having a hot flash - is it from a line of clothing for menopausal women???

I'm guessing this might not pair well with high waisted pants.

That's low enough to show stretch marks. Shopping question,"where am I going in this?" To get a mammogram?

Snarf! Laugh! Oh, dear...I once had a Miracle bathing suit that did this. Well, it didn't show my belly button.

I like her shoes.....?

Joy-that is the perfect place to wear it.

I liked everyones funny replies! I like this neckline! and you could certainly wear it here in warm weather in sydney, without anyone fainting.

I'm gonna need more than fashion tape, maybe a staple gun!

I still want the coat and plan to pair the top with the marc jacobs knicker shorts.

Is it April, the first? I had to check my calendar:-)

Oh my! Too funny, now I have made my mascara run! I'm with Shannon and Rebekah needing the ventilation, it could catch on

I'm looking forward to getting all the attention in the room while teaching in this outfit!

Lolol!

That's a *tummy line*...

You're a month early, Angie!

Absolutely I am so ready to get arrested :-p

I'm totally wearing this to the office.

With a shorts suit.

I have read that a v neckline is the most flattering.

You guys are all hysterical! You are kidding, right?:)

I love everyones' replies! So funny! I was also totally expecting something modest but unique when I read Angie's post title. Breastbone Betty here will have to pass on this style

I just read through all of the replies and you ladies are all comedians. I have had a coughing fit and doubled over several times with laughter.

Now let's all burn our bras and catch a serious chest cold while singing "... Sisters are doin' it for themselves! "
