Today, I don’t know what to do, my (female) boss just told me that in order to comply with our dress code, I now have to go and tell most of our female employees to cover up their visible cleavage. I'm not the most confident around women, how am I supposed to discuss their boobs with them? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got to listen to my boss lecture me about professional dress and subtly insinuate that my being on the heavier side top-wise with all the men in the office could be a problem. I've worn turtle necks for the whole two months I've been working there. FML
Today, a customer told my boss I was too pushy because I asked her what bra size she wears. I work at a lingerie store. I got a stern lecture from my boss. FML
Today, I came to work ready to impress my boss. A couple of weeks ago I asked him for a promotion from stock to sales and I have been proving myself worthy. Turns out he hired a new girl for sales, with great, big, fake breasts. FML
Today, during my shift at a restaurant, my boss's daughter came in. I couldn't help but notice that she was almost popping out of her low-cut top. After having a private chat with her, my boss took me aside and said, "My daughter's got eyes you know, not just a pair of tits". FML
Today, my boss came over to my desk and struck up a casual conversation about movies. After a while, he sat on the edge of my desk, nodded toward my chest, and said in the same casual, lighthearted tone, "And nice cleavage today. Keep that up." FML
Today, my 70-year-old boss asked me to order sexy lingerie she saw on the cover a magazine. FML
Today, HR wants to see me about an email where my boss asks me to respect her body. My offense? I asked if she bought a new shirt during a web meeting with our small team. We've worked together for over 10 years. FML
Today, at work, my front-close bra popped open like an anime character, right in front of the two male coworkers I was talking to. My boobs flung around and I had to pretend nothing happened while subtly crossing my arms and waiting for them to leave so I could fix it. FML
Today, I realized that I know, all too well, what it feels like to have my over-middle-age boss's boob on my shoulder. FML
Today, my boss's husband came over to our office, and as a by the way comment told our boss my make-up looks good and suits me. The thing is, I've never worn make-up to work, and obviously, he never told his wife, my boss, that she looks good with make-up on. I'm fucked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is there someone above your boss that you can talk to about this? Because this could get you slapped with sexual harassment complaints.

You can go with "Hello. My boss (Boss's name) would like me to inform you that due to the new dress code, the turtleneck and bell bottoms combo is now mandatory for every employee."

Go to HR FIRST!!! Let them be the bad guy. also, let them know what you were expected to do and you don't need HR reports against you.

In most companies there’s a policy that anything having to do with female specific dress code, a senior female employee is to take the lead on informing other female staff members (or member). Everyone in the comments are right, go to HR, this is way too tricky of a tightrope to walk. To finish the metaphor, get a safety net in place first!

The good news is you don't have to "discuss" anything. When you see visible cleavage, just playfully motorboat them and they'll cover up right quick. Rarely is it so fun to be a corporate policy enforcer. It will certainly work with no possible downside.

Just tell them if you can motorboat, they need to cover up.

They should have a woman do that. In some places, workers can't tell the opposite gender how to dress because it's like saying they were staring.
