Décolletage (or décolleté, its adjectival form, in current French) is cleavage produced by a low-cut neckline that exposes the neck, shoulders and parts of the breasts, but not the nipple. In strict usage the term denoted the neckline, the zone extending about two handbreadths from the base of the neck down, obverse and recto.[1] Only after the French Revolution did the décolletage become larger in the front and smaller in the back.[2]
