 That really depends on the occasion. There are "rules" of conduct regarding this. Cleavage is generally seen as fine. For more formal occasions, it is said that the depth of the cleavage must be in correlation with the length of the gloves. So the idea is that the more skin you reveal in one place, the more you cover up elsewhere. Then you will still be within what's seen as acceptable, even for formal dining.
In other words, don't wear a skimpy short mini skirt AND a deep cleavage AND bare arms. Do a knee length skirt or pants if you want a deep cleavage. Or wear a cardigan over to cover your arms. But now I'm talking about cleavages that drop quite deep. For cleavages that aren't deep, but merely reveal a little sneak peek, I wouldn't bother covering up elsewhere.

But girls night out, a date with a steady boyfriend, going out to a night club etc are events where we dress up and show cleavage. Meeting in laws, church, school, work etc we should dress like ladies. I've always found it more attractive when a female knows she looks good, but doesn't flaunt it all the time and dresses nicely. Then one day you see her at your friend's benefit party dressed up for a change and it's just mind blowing that she had such a figure all along like who knew?!

What one may consider to be be lady like may or may not the same as what another person thinks.
Personally,I prefer not to see it.

 It can be. It depends. From many variables: the occasion, the place , the dress, your attitude, your physique, and how much exactly you show.
Just yesterday I saw on TV a documentary about Lady Diana 's life and it showed her also wearing low-cut ball gowns in various formal occasions. She was ladylike. She looked perfect, although she was showing quite some cleavage ( but, apparently, her husband Charles wasn't too thrilled about that ).
At your age, 16-17, maybe it's better to show very little cleavage . Often there's a stark contrast between a baby-face, and a way of moving/ walking that still reminds of playfights in the school backyard, and the obstentation of a full, adult bust. It's sexy but not in the right ( or ladylike ) way, more in a sort of creepy, disturbing way.

The purpose of showing cleavage is to look sexy. It's a matter of taste and style, and knowing when it is appropriate to expose cleavage.

 To each their own. I think there's a limit to when it becomes tacky or distasteful. That said, women with larger chests will always have a more visible cleavage in the same outfit that would not show a lot of cleavage on women with smaller chests. That's not their fault - just the way clothes are.
At your age, I think cleavage should be mostly covered.

 Is it "ladylike"?
Perhaps not the word I'd use in the same sentence as cleavage.
Maybe what you mean is, is it TASTEFUL?
I think it can be, if it's a "NOT over the top boobs in your face look".
However, going by your age my guess is you are still in high school/college? And honestly having so much boobs showing that people can see cleavage can be a bit inappropriate for school. I think dressing "sexy" and school shouldn't mix. Call me old fashioned. Same as I think even on a hot day the guys need to keep their shirts on and WEAR underwear under shorts/jogging pants...
Does it mean then that I think girls should dress in turtlenecks, buttoned up and nun's habits? No. I think girls (as well as boys) should have a "freedom of expressing" even in what they wear, as long as they can understand what's appropriate and what's not.
Do you WANT people to notice your chest instead f you and your face? If so... THAT is what showing cleavage can do. Especially if we are talking teen boys.
Put something on and ASK your mom what SHE thinks?

 DO what you are happy with if you give your life trying to fit into a box made by other people you will never be happy, How ever what is ok in your part of the world might not in other parts of the world, It also comes down to style some can look good in one style and the next woman could look not as good or even vulgar, but what you call vulgar and what I call vulgar could be very different as I have seen some women talk about shoes as vulgar, how a shoe can be I don't know but it takes all types to make this world, that is the great thing about style,
