Busty cleavage, whats your thought?
- Too flirtatious, no sense of self respect.
- Sometimes just innocently trying to be a tiny bit more attractive.
- With professional attire, very self-confident.
- Inappropriate; kids and churchgoers shouldn't be exposed to that.
- Who cares, enjoy it or ignore it.
- Other.

I have no issue with a woman "showing off her wares" at the proper time and place, as I said. I just personally think it's in poor taste at the supermarket or at church, etc.
However, while I don't think there's anything wrong with a hint of cleavage, there IS a difference in what we're talking about.

But IF she wants to show it off at a regular service though, I would have to wonder what her motive was for choosing to flaunt her breasts in that situation.
I see all kinds of people at church. And many have cleavage exposed, even relatively small breasted women. I just don't think it's such a horrific sight or that they're doing it purposely to tittilate. You can think it if you wish, I don't. I know many very large women, with large breasts and almost everything they wear will expose cleavage, and I don't think they're doing it to be sexy. A woman who is a "b" cup and has a gap between but there's still a space exposed is still showing cleavage, only she doesn't actually have cleavage--she's still revealing the same part of her body. I believe that there are women who will go out of their way to wear a push-up bra, low-cut tops and spill their breasts out over the top to expose them, I just don't think that cleavage ranks up there with that display. And honestly, I think that people are different sexually, and like anything else will reveal themselves to the world in the way that they want to. I don't see them as any different than a woman who wears matronly clothing and covers every inch of her, or a man who wears polkadot shirts and plaid pants, or leather pants and no shirt. It's an expression of who they are, not necessarily of who they want to attract. I know a woman who dresses provocatively all of the time, it's just who she is. She has no qualms about showing her cleavage to the world.
When it comes to showing cleavage, period, for me it depends on as well that determines my thoughts on it. Many women, even in different cultures, simply find feel the hint of cleavage is an innocent way of showing more of their womanhood, just as it is for many other things they accentuate in their appearance, such as make-up and hairstyles and nail colorings and hip/waist hugging attire, etc.
NOTE: I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with that notion, I am merely pointing out that many women sport a hint of cleavage for that purpose, whereas many others don't, according to what I've read. If its not someone else's style, then to each their own.
THIS string, however, was not about a of cleavage, but rather, cleavage. Some of us view excessive cleavage as simply another body part, whereas others view that cleavage as a more "private" part of the body, just like they do with the ol' upper butt crack on some of these low jeans, or even the belly button showing, which itself was banned in schools I went to back in the old days.
Now I truly admit, that sometimes even am guilty of intentionally showing off my pecks and abs through my skin tight t-shirts, LOL! So I'm also guilty of supposing that excessive cleavage would have a purpose as well. Shame on me, shame on me, but those are my thoughts anyway. I don't wear my special t-shirts to work or to church, obviously, but I will wear them to the bar or simply when going out with the Mrs. somewhere like a movie or for a walk or something. The excessive cleavage from the intentional lower cut outfits are, to me, purposed to draw attention to just how attractive one's self is. Lets face it, some outfits are just starkingly more 'attracting' than others, LOL, so it only makes sense to want to wear and flaunt your gift somewhat. I'm not advocating, just recognizing, nothing more. Please note that if you feel like responding. Thank you.
As always, what I've read and learned does not represent all who do it.

I don't think of "the Church" as the building nor do I consider it "holy," it's just where the services are held. "The Church" is the people who meet there. And I believe that you show your respect and consideration for those people and others around you (which in church, will include elderly people, children, etc.) by dressing appropriately for the occasion. And in our culture, breasts are primarily viewed as sexual, not just as any other body part. And no, I'm not saying that's right, but that's the reality.
During a wedding, the bride and groom are surrounded by friends and family who KNOW the personalities, etc. of both but in a Sunday service, there will be all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds, who may not appreciate or understand the intent of that kind of dress.
Having a woman displaying her wares during a church service could be construed as disrespectful and unnecessarily distracting and I'm quite sure that's why you seldom, if ever, see anyone dressed that way.
And yes, I'm all for freedom of expression but not to the exclusion of simple courtesy or respect for the sensibilities of others around you. After all, there are plenty of other times and opportunities for self expression.
