Is this modest enough?

Prom is right around the corner for me and sadly I was not able to pick out my own dress. So, now I’m (kind of) forced to wear one that’s pretty tight, something I know I should not be wearing. On the plus side, my mom helped me find a good enough cover-up for my dress so it covers the majority of my body and still looks really good. The only concern I have is the fact that the front of my dress will still be exposed, even though it’s surely not as bad as it could be. Is this modest enough?

(On a side note, it was my dad who kinda forced me to keep the dress. I expressed my concern to him but he went off on a rant and he’s pretty explosive sometimes so my mom told me I should just keep it and try to make it work.)
 
I stink at fashion. Listen to others.

Your attitude and actions also speak to modesty, maybe as much as dress.
 
What’s acceptable as evening wear is a little broader if that makes sense.
 
Weelll…you could use some pins at the front ,or a camisole that covers the front from under the dress to a little higher that you’re comfortable with.
That’s what I often do ,and feel much more at ease.
 
I do not even know what the dress looks like. Do you have an example?
 
Use your own judgement. What do you think? Prom… Adulthood is just around the corner and decisions will be yours soon to make.
 
If you have no choice, don’t worry about it. It’s clear you don’t intend to be immodest. Heck everyone at prom will probably too concerned about how they look to even notice!
 
do you have a picture of the dress? It’s easier to assess with a pic.
 
To distract eyes from your cleavage you should avoid wearing a necklace too big or too shiny, or earrings too big or chandelier like that hang and point at the cleavage. Just shiny earrings that is stick close to the ears. Use something more on your hairdo like some shiny pins that you can see from the front too or a tiara or headband if you can find a cool one. Hair should be up. Loose hair will attract attention downwards and you don’t want that. Or an entirely extravagant updo. This way the eyes of those who look at you will go up, above the cleavage. If you wear makeup concentrate on the eyes and be milder on the lips.
Don’t think about it. Trying to cover it because you feel embarrassed by it, will only attract attention to it.
Have fun!
 
I’m not sure how much money you have, but maybe there’s a way to add a modesty panel. If you don’t know of anyone who sews, you might try a bridal store. I had one put in for my wedding dress I bought at David’s. Hope this helps!
 
I should have clairified, cleavage isn’t my main issue, what I’m concerned about is how tight the dress is.
 
That may have more to do with your body type than anything. If you’re very curvy or busty, any dress will look too sexy. The curse of curves

How are we supposed to know? How tight is it?
Follow your conscience
