I see some women that have really revealing blouses. I dont think they are bad but they should make sure they are appropriate for where at.

I agree. It doesn't make them bad people, but they should dress appropriately to where they are at.

NO, It doesn't make her a bad person as some say on here. She is just comfortable about her body and if the way she dresses makes others feel uncomfortable either tell her or leave her alone but make sure you word it correctly or they might be hell to pay. lol Some women dress this way to feel sexy. My mother has a saying if it's not showing the nipples who cares whats a little clevage.

I have an interesting story to share about this topic. I dress modestly and very proud of it. I do like to look nice, professional and stylish, but modest. When I was 18 I went to visit with my brother for a month who happened to live half the country away from me. It was a new surrounding and new culture to me. Walmart was a few blocks down away from his house and I wanted to walk there but was slightly hesitant to walk alone. My brother told me it was very unlikely that anyone would dare do anything improper to or with me because of how I dress. He said that my modest apparel made a statement that said, 'she comes from a respectable home and has family that really care about her that would certainly come after any wrongdoer if need be.' I had never thought of that before, but I find it very true. If I dress suggestively, then others are going to want a piece of what is being suggested. Just food for thought...

I think that a woman dresses how she fills comfortable,if we sat standards then are you saying that men should wear baggy pants,just to hide what he has.Everybody dresses differently and it does not make them; there insides is what makes them.

I do agree that the clothes dont make the person. I prefer a man in baggy jeans tho. Makes you wonder what he has under there. When they are tight you can already tell.

i think it is ok. as long as she is not really fat and it is all just hanging out for every one to see. then it is ok.
• United States
5 Oct 06
i just think that if you dont look healthy, that goes for skinny girls too, that you shouldnt be showing off everything.
• United States
5 Oct 06
But if its ok for a skinny person it should be ok for a fat person. It depends on how they feel about themselves right?

If she has no bad intention , then whats the need to wear revealing blouse. She is knowingly showing off her parts to attaract more and more people . If this is not an evil act then what is it. If you think my views are wrong then take an example- Tomorrow a lady can come without blouse at all then also you will have to say she is not having evil intentions so she is not bad. My question is if she is so gentle then why should she come without blouse or blouse with full revealation??? See, Clothes are meant for covering body and protecting body from weather harshness. If it is used for showing body then where does remain the purpose of wearing a cloth. Now adays, I see a tradition, people knowingly raise a controversy and try their fullest to proved it justified!!! Pity on !!! Pity On. Let some differences prevail between human and animal.

I think that people should be able to dress however they want and have no one judge them for it. Unfortunately this is not the case in our society and I think it's horrible that women are made to feel ashamed of their body because they are labelled as bad things if they happen to show a bit of cleavage. No one would think the same if a man wore his shirt unbuttoned or went shirtless.
• United States

That is true but if a man went without a shirt at a store I dont think that would be appropriate either.
@Brooke3 (610)

Good point. I guess it all depends on the dress code of the place.

Hello what is wrong with u people! Who cares if someones stupid shirt is to revealing, thats just your opinion, she obviously liked the blouse or she wouldnt have worn it. About it being approiate well obviously not 4 you. But 2 each his own I dont see why something that minimal would bother you anyways, it may not be your particular style. Some people arent as confident about their appearence as others.
• United States
6 Oct 06
Its not about confidence its about respect for others. I dress depending on where I'm going to be. If I feel I need attention and want to look sleazy I would dress that way and go to a bar or somewhere where its acceptable. When I go to the store I dress very modest because I dont quite want to show little children what I have. I have kids and I know how that draws attention from them. Then they ask questions. So unless she is trying to get attention from children too she shouldnt wear them if going where children are.

It is all about context and what 'revealing' means. What it means to you may be different to what it means to me for example. The next thing is context. As mentioned by some, revealing in a supermarket is different to revealing at a beach, revealing in Isreal, or revealing in a church. I think the meaning here is revealing being more than the community may approve of for a given situation. So does it make her a bad person? I think it is all about intent. If she reveals with the intention to disturb other people, then that makes her a bad person. If she reveals because she is comfortable in those clothes, and had no intention to hurt anyone, then she is not a bad person, only perhaps misguided as to proper clothing etiquette.

i wonder what percent are women and what percent are men as women seem to be jealous of other womens figures and therefore i suppose more women would say its bad than men.myself i say if youve got it flaunt it i cant see many men would complain
• United States
5 Oct 06
Yeah and I like to leave some things to the imagination.
• United States
5 Oct 06
Of course men wouldnt complain they would rather see it all hang out. I'm not jealouse of other womens figures although I've seen some I would like to have. I have seen some women in revealing blouses that look really nice and I guess you could even say sexy. I just feel they need to be more aware of what they are wearing where.
@ernie1 (21)
5 Oct 06
the fact is that what you dont see is more exciting then what you do if women walked about letting it all hang out as you say men would not find it so exciting after a while i see women with a nice cleavage but as soon as they take their top of you see its not what you imagined it to be

I don't think it makes them a bad person. If you have a nice body there is no shame in showing it off(not too much, of course). I do agree with dressing appropriate in certain places though.

I wear revealing blouses all the time. I was told 'if you've got it, falunt it'. I'm not nessicarily 'flaughting it' though. I have a very large chest, all natural. It's an affliction almost off the women in my family have. A lot of what I wear does show cleavage. It's hard to find clothes that fit. WHen they fit my stomache and waist, they're way too small for my chest.. when they fit my chest, they sit like a tent over me. But I don't see showing some cleavage as bad. I'm married, and I have one child, and one on the way. Tank tops are comfortable, especially in the TExas heat! I end up waering a lot of tank tops and things like that in the winter too, just with an over shirt, because sweaters and sweat shirts look like a tent. A lot of the shirts I wear tend to be short too. As a rule, I don't show my stomache. It's just 'not me'. But my shirts come to the top of my pants or shorts. Nornmally they would fit longer on a person, but once they go over my chest, they're hsorter than meant to be. And don't get me started about Spandex type shirts! They are the worst! But I feel as long as I look nice and 'respectful' (And I can still be respectful while showing some cleavage) it doens't matter when I wear as long as I'm comfortable. I've had people give me dirty looks for what I'm wearing. To them I'd like to say.. "Okay, you go buy clothes that are custom made to fit! I don't have that kind of extra money to throw around!"

I think its appropriate if they arnt just trying to be to sexy, depends on their age also, people should dress their age or close to it.

Yes they should.

There's an appropriate way to dress for every occasion/event or depending on where you are. Women who wear revealing clothes all the time may just be seeking attention. i say there is a time and place. But if you've got it, show it off (but in moderation!)
