Ball gown , 1864 A ball gown, ballgown or gown is a type of evening gown worn to a ball or a formal event. Most versions are cut off the shoulder with a low décolletage, exposed arms, and long bouffant styled skirts. Such gowns are typically worn with a stole (a formal shawl in expensive fabric), cape or cloak in lieu of a coat, couture or vintage jewelry and opera-length gloves. Where "state decorations" are to be worn, they are on a bow pinned to the chest, and married women wear a tiara if they have one.

The brothers attended the 2013 Hallowood "Disco Africa" fashion industry party in Milan in racially insensitive costumes. From the décolletage up they appeared as white drag queens with oversized blonde wigs, with their bodies painted brown and adorned in "tribal" costume. Following the unveiling of its "DSquaw" line at the 2015 Milan Fashion Week, critics expressed outrage at the fashion studio's use of the term "Squaw", a word which carries strongly racist connotations as a derogatory term for North American indigenous women. Critics furthermore pointed to the appropriation of Inuu and Canadian indigenous decorations and attire in the fashion line itself, calling it a "misappropriation".

In "The Shoes", Elaine catches the eye of NBC president Russell Dalrymple by wearing a dress with a décolletage. She breaks off the relationship after one date, sending Russell into an emotional spiral that causes him to quit his job and join Greenpeace to impress her. Russell's departure from NBC causes George and Jerry's pilot to be rejected, and it is implied at the end of "The Pilot" that Russell dies at sea during a Greenpeace mission. In "The Van Buren Boys", J. Peterman suggests that when Elaine writes the "romantic escapade" section of his autobiography, she can feel free to throw herself into the dialogue.

It is akin to European décolletage, however it is more indigenously Indonesian by using local fabrics such as batik, ikat, tenun, or songket, and simply secured by folding and slipping the cloth edges and tying the knot. Traditionally, Javanese women wear two pieces of cloth; the lower one is wrapped around the hips covering lower parts of body (hips, thighs and legs) and is called as kain or sarung, while the piece that is wrapped about the upper body (chest and torso) is called kemben. Kemben is comfortable to wear in the hot and humid climate of tropical Indonesia, as it eases ventilation and perspiration.

Soon after, she had her official debut at La Scala and from there she went to the Folies Bergère, where she was hired along with Juanita de Frezia, La Belle Gerrero, and Mlle Hernandez, to dance their Spanish repertoire which showed off their décolletage and bare legs. She toured Europe, visiting Berlin, Budapest, London, Vienna and other major cities and then was engaged at El Alcázar in Marseilles. By 1898, she was among the soloists performing at the Ballet de l'Opéra Comique along with such dancers as Régina Badet, , Jeanne Chasles, Cléo de Mérode and Stacia Napierkowska. The theater soon earned the reputation as the "most artistic of Paris".

After a short stay in Italy, Piglhein decided to take up painting instead and, on Schilling's recommendation, began studies with Ferdinand Pauwels at the Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School. Finding the small town atmosphere uncongenial, in 1871 he moved to Munich, where he became an associate of Wilhelm von Diez. Despite the attention given to his painting of the Crucifixion at the Munich exhibition and the positive critical reception accorded to his portraits of children, he was not very successful. At the suggestion of his agent, he turned to pastel portraits of women; favoring Spanish dancers, pierrettes and belles-of-the- ball with low décolletage.

Among these mamillare was a particularly strict leather corset for suppressing women with big busts.Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Glenys Davies, Greek and Roman Dress from A to Z, page 23, Routledge, 2007, Elodie Piveteau and Philippe Vaurès, Underdressed, page2 104, 110, Silverback Books, 2005, A silver coin that was found in South Arabia in the 3rd century BCE shows a buxom foreign ruler with much décolletage and an elaborate coiffure.Peter Wald, Yemen, page 283, Pallas Athene, 1996, Rabbi Aha b. Raba (circa 5th century) and Nathan the Babylonian (circa 2nd century) measured the appropriate size of the cleavage as "of one hand-breadth between a woman's breasts".

Elizabeth Ewing, Fashion in Underwear: From Babylon to Bikini Briefs, page 61, Courier Corporation, 2010, Despite the contemporaneous popularity of décolletage dresses, complete exposure of breasts in portraits was limited to two groups of women; the scandalous (mistresses and prostitutes), and the pure (breastfeeding mothers and queens). In North America, the Gilded Age saw women adorning their cleavage with flowers attached to clothes and carefully placed jewelry.Greg King, A Season of Splendor: The Court of Mrs. Astor in Gilded Age New York, page 229, Wiley, 2009, During the Victorian period of the mid-to-late 19th century, social attitudes required women to cover their bosoms in public.

The buff-coloured hennin headdress is draped with a large transparent veil, which spills over her shoulders, reaching her upper arms. Van der Weyden's attention to the structure of the clothing—the careful detailing of the pins pushed into the veil to fix its position—is typical for the artist."Dress and Reality in Rogier Van der Weyden" by Margaret Scott, in Campbell and Van der Stock, 140 The woman's veil forms a diamond shape, balanced by the inverse flow of a light vest worn beneath her dress. She is shown at a slight angle, but her pose is centred by the interlocked broad lines of arms, décolletage and veil.

However, the biggest criticism the PCA had was for the women's dress bodices (appropriate for the era portrayed) which they perceived to be very low-cut and showed too much cleavage for their Motion Picture Production Code. This was the first time the word cleavage had been applied in reference to an area of a woman´s anatomy, previously the PCA had utilized the term Décolletage when assessing films. The American media were also outraged by the design of the dresses declaring "Americans do not want half naked women like Patricia Roc in this movie"Hodgson, Michael. (2013).

Irene Dunne in a Kalloch-designed evening dress and hat in The Awful Truth Over the next two years, Kalloch designed on-screen fashions for Ida Lupino in Weather or No (released as Let's Get Married), Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth, Madeleine Carroll in It's All Yours, and Mary Astor in No Time to Marry. Among his most innovative works during this time was a set of Persian cut cocktail pajamas for Grace Moore in I'll Take Romance. It started a brief fashion trend. During this period, Kalloch began to integrate low-cut décolletage and short bolero jackets into much of his work.

Adams (2010), 17–18 John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy Rumors that Isabeau and Orléans were lovers began to circulate, a relationship that was considered incestuous. Whether the two were intimate has been questioned by contemporary historians, including Gibbons who believes the rumor may have been planted as propaganda against Isabeau as retaliation against tax increases she and Orléans ordered in 1405. An Augustinian friar, Jacques Legrand, preached a long sermon to the court denouncing excess and depravity, in particular mentioning Isabeau and her fashions—with exposed necks, shoulders and décolletage. The monk presented his sermon as allegory so as not to offend Isabeau overtly, but he cast her and her ladies-in-waiting as "furious, vengeful characters".

Roc's more overt sexuality in such films as The Wicked Lady was downplayed for the American market; her décolletage led US censors to call for retakes to de-emphasise it) and "the Goddess of Odeons", whilst Noël Coward said she was "a phenomenon" and "an unspoiled film star who can act". She was also in Johnny Frenchman (1945). Co- starring in that film was Ralph Michael, who soon after divorced his wife Fay Compton; Roc was named in proceedings. Her brief move to Hollywood to film Canyon Passage (1946), a Western in Technicolor, was a lend-lease agreement between Rank Pictures and Universal Studios of British in return for American film actors.

Christopher Lee starred in a number of Hammer Horror films, including The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), which Professor Patricia MacCormac called the "first really gory horror film, showing blood and guts in colour". His most influential role was as Count Dracula, with Lee's portrayal becoming the archetypal vampire in popular culture. The academic Christopher Frayling writes of Lee's 1958 film, "Dracula introduced fangs, red contact lenses, décolletage, ready-prepared wooden stakes and – in the celebrated credits sequence – blood being spattered from off-screen over the Count's coffin." Lee also introduced a dark, brooding sexuality to the character, with Tim Stanley stating, "Lee’s sensuality was subversive in that it hinted that women might quite like having their neck chewed on by a stud".

Helmholtz on Space and Painting, Michael Heidelberger, University of Tübingen. Translation from Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) lectures, 1871-1873 on Optisches über Malerei (On the Relation of Optics to Painting), publ. 1876 The painting inscribes an ambivalence in that it expresses both contemporary and classical, modern and traditional, avant- garde and academic connotations, simultaneously. The "busy geometry of planar fragmentation and juxtaposed perspectives has a more than reflexive function," notes Cottington, "for the symmetrical patterning of its reticulations (as in the dancer's décolletage) and their rhythmic parallel repetitions suggest not only movement and diagrams but also, metonymically, the mechanised object- world of modernity." Two works entitled Nu and Landscape, circa 1908 and 1909 respectively, indicate that Metzinger had already departed from his Fauvist brand of Divisionism by 1908.

During the next century, the brassière industry went through many ups and downs, often influenced by the demand for cleavage.Kevin Hillstrom and Mary K. Ruby, Encyclopedia of American Industries: Manufacturing industries, page 258, Gale Research, 1994, With a return to more womanly figures in the 1930s, corsetry maintained a strong demand, even at the height of the Great Depression. From the 1920s to the 1940s, corset manufacturers constantly tried training young women to use corsetsJill Fields, An Intimate Affair: Women, Lingerie, and Sexuality, page 71, University of California Press, 2007, but fashions became more restrained in terms of décolletage while exposure of the leg became more accepted in Western societies during World War I and remained so for nearly half a century.Johnson, Kim K.P.; Torntore, Susan J. and Eicher, Joanne Bubolz (2003).

In places the dress merges into the background so much so that the museum curator Jan Thompson writes that "one comes across the model almost by accident, so enveloped is she in the thick geometric scheme". Peter Vergo, writing for Grove Art, considers that the painting "marks the height of ... [Klimt's] gold-encrusted manner of painting". Adele's hair, face, décolletage and hands are painted in oil; they make up less than a twelfth of the work and, in Whitford's opinion, convey little about the sitter's character. For Whitford the effect of the gold background is to "remove Adele Bloch-Bauer from the earthly plane, transform the flesh and blood into an apparition from a dream of sensuality and self-indulgence"; he, and Thomson, consider the work to look more like a religious icon than a secular portrait.

Dramatic necklaces that emphasized the cleavage became popular at balls and parties in France.Sally Everitt and David Joseph Lancaster, Christie's Twentieth-century Jewelry, page 81, Watson-Guptill, 2002, In the U.S., television shows tried to mask exposed cleavage with tulleRobert Pondillo, America's First Network TV Censor, page 88, Southern Illinois University Press, 2010, and even sketches, illustrations and short stories in Reader's Digest and Saturday Evening Post depicted women with tiny waists, big buttocks and ample cleavage.Michael Johns, Moment of Grace: The American City in the 1950s, page 21, University of California Press, 2004, In this decade, Hollywood and the fashion industry successfully promoted large, cloven bustlines and falsies, the brassière industry started experimenting with the half-cup bra (also known as demi-cup or shelf bra) to facilitate décolletage. Polyvinyl sacs were often the preferred implant to augment breasts into a fuller, more projected appearance.

Eddie Chapman – British spy and Lahlum's lover In April 1943, when British double agent Eddie Chapman was drinking with German officers in The Ritz bar at Skillebekk, which was also popular with members of the Norwegian national socialist party, his eye fell on the attractive Dagmar, who – complete with a décolletage and high heels – was smoking Craven A's with an ivory mouthpiece. When he first chatted her up, he thought that she was either a prostitute or just another good time girl; whilst on the other hand Lahlum thought that he worked for the Germans, or was in fact a German – albeit one with an odd accent. From 1943 onwards, she became his girlfriend and later his fiancée. Troubled by the fact that she was being labelled a German whore by the locals, Chapman compromised his security during a boating trip on the fjord, when they had shared a bottle of cognac over lunch.

Evidence of pubic hair removal in ancient India is thought to date back to 4000 to 3000 BC. According to ethnologist F. Fawcett, writing in 1901, he had observed the removal of body hair, including pubic hair about the vulva, as a custom of women from the Hindu Nair caste. In Western societies, after the spread of Christianity, public exposure of a woman's bare skin between the ankle and waist started to be disapproved of culturally. Upper body exposure due to the use of the popular vest bodices used in Western Europe from the 15th century to early 20th century, as the widespread dirndls used even in more traditionally conservative mountain areas and the more or less loose shirts under these, enabled a permissive view of the shoulders, décolletage and arms allowing a free exposure of upper body hair in women of all classes with less rejection or discrimination than body hair on the sex organs, obviously to conceal by implication. Many people came to consider public exposure of pubic hair to be embarrassing.

This use of the term was first covered in a Time article titled "Cleavage & the Code" on August 5, 1946, as a "Johnston Office (the popular name for Motion Picture Association of America [MPAA] office at the timeRuth A. Inglis, "Need for Voluntary Self- Regulation", The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science (Volume 254), page 153, November 1947, JSTOR) trade term for the shadowed depression dividing an actress' bosom into two distinct sections." The word "cleavage" is made of the root verb "cleave" (to split; from Old English clifian and Middle English clevien; "cleft" in past tense) and the suffix age (meaning "the state of" or "the act of").cleave, Merriam-Webster -age, Merriam-Webster While the division of the breasts is a cleavage, the opening of a person's garments to make the division visible is called a décolletage, a French word that is derived from décolleter meaning "to reveal the neck". The term was first used in English literature before 1831 and was the preferred term among educated people in the English-speaking world before cleavage became the popular term.

Until fairly recently, not much was known about supportive garments with defined cups that may have existed before the invention of the corset in the late Middle Ages. That changed when, in 2008, four lace-decorated undergarments were found among 3,000 textile fragments during a renovation project in Lengberg Castle, Austria. All four garments were carbon-dated to the 15th century, and illustrate three different styles: the first and second are high-necked, with fabric stretching above the cups to cover the décolletage, and are sleeveless and cut just below the bust; the third has two broad shoulder straps and a possible back strap; the fourth garment most resembles a modern longline bra, with linen cups joined vertically at the center of the breast and a linen extension cut at about to the level of the ribcage and fastened with a row of eyelets on the front left side of the body. It is difficult to tell how widespread this type of garment was at the time, but there is both artistic and literary evidence that suggests they may have been more prevalent than is commonly thought.
