What about if it came down to two dresses, one with slight cleavage that overall looks better or a slightly less flattering dress with full coverage? I am not talking about triangle-top style dresses or anything extremely low-cut, obviously. I will try to find an example. I am asking for somewhat competitive recruitments at larger, northern schools.

I would tend to think that you don't need to be FULLY covered up to your neck.

I always tell PNMs to ask themselves:

*Would you be comfortable wearing it to a nice dinner with your family (including 80 year old grandma)?

If you have to think about it, it's probably not appropriate.

Also, remember your audience here. These are WOMEN, not guys.

We all have seen a woman with inappropriate cleavage and thought "OMG, who let her out of the house wearing that?"

If you even think it is a dress that would make someone say "OMG" about your cleavage, it needs to be left on the hanger.

It's important to KNOW what necklines work with yourt body types and which do not. You have time, so I suggest trying out some different things and figuring out what looks best on you.
