Hello, I just wanted an opinion on this dress. www.jackwills.com/rosebank-denim-shirt-dress-100014371002.html?cgid=Ladies_Dresses_Playsuits
I'm in my 20s and slim, however I'm not sure whether it would be unflattering due to my large chest. What are your thoughts on the dress...do you think it could be unflattering for me?

I like it but I have no experience with having a large chest. Would the restricting denim fabric mean you would have to buy a bigger size?.... it might then be baggy over your stomach area.
It looks as if it’s best fitted.

Also, is Jack Wills a shop that has good quality items? I've never shopped there before, so I don't know the quality, or what their sizing is like.

Tbh, I don't think it flatters the model and she doesn’t have a large chest.

MollyS1 · 18/02/2018 17:54

Yes That's what I'm worried about...I don't want it to be baggy on the stomach and then tight and restrictive on top. I might have to find a store and try it on in person, especially as I don't know what the sizing is like

Love the dress but it might not sit right with a larger chest, try it on & see :)

NewYearNiki · 18/02/2018 17:58

It looks like an overall.

Sorry op I really don't like it.

I like it! I would wear it with a belt tho. Which may solve the problem of it being baggy lower down if you need a bigger size to fit your chest

MollyS1 · 18/02/2018 18:16

That's a good idea, I can always try it with a belt! Has anyone bought from jack wills before, what's the quality like?

Jack wills is nice quality in my experience . I think if you are slim then you won't get your chest in a 8/10 and the bigger sizes will not sit tight on turn body . Why not order a couple of sizes ?

I think most people in that dress would look like construction workers.

corlan · 18/02/2018 20:57

I think the pockets might emphasise a large chest?

goose1964 · 18/02/2018 21:50

The model is flat chested and the dress fits her, you'll need to fit your chest and it will be too big lower down. You'll be better off with fabric that has some give in it

I think the waist is too high. You can find similar denim dresses that will flatter your figure. Look at this one for example:
