I think the rudeness or non-rudeness of it depends on the attitude of the stare-er.
Yesterday at work, in fact, I noticed a co-worker repeatedly glancing at my chest during our conversation. I took into consideration that A) I was wearing a somewhat form-fitting shirt, B) I was standing and he was sitting, so they were pretty much at eye level, and C) he managed to continue the flow of conversation, and I didn't get the feeling that he was focusing on them, just that he was being distracted. There was no sense of vulgarity.
I was amused, and took mercy and sat down.
If he had been vulgar, I would have been upset.
So I guess it comes down to that.
