“She often wears low-cut dresses to show off her cleavage.”
"breasts" is a little too blunt and might suggest she likes showing even her nipples.
"cleavage" gives the idea that she likes showing off how full and curvy they are.

@FushigiNashi Thanks for your correction. Then can I say “She often wears low-cut dresses to *reveal* her cleavage”?
- English (US)
Reveal also feels a little blunt to me, but I think it would be acceptable.

@FushigiNashi Thank you. What else can I say to mean “low-cut”? Can you tell me some common alternatives?
- English (US)
I think low-cut it the best word.
But you could also say "skimpy"
"revealing" is an option you could use if you changed the verb.
