The jaw must be the key.

Dying. And yet sad bc I know first poster wasn’t joking.

Agree with the PP who said they are good for anyone but shape and length and neckline need to be picked for your body.

If you’re chinless or have a double chin, the collar opening will frame that and draw attention- not flattering.

What kind of neckline is good for chinless or a double chin?

V-neck. A v-neck that isn't too close up on your sternum. You want to lengthen your neck and draw attention away from the chin.

Interesting. I think this is a t shirt dress.

Athleta poster is correct. The title of the dress even says "T shirt dress"
T shirts do not have buttons top to bottom like a shirt....Hence, shirt dress and not t-shirt dress.

I'm somewhat similar. My shoulders are pretty close together and my torso isn't long, but as long as the shirt dress has the right proportions (belt hits at the waist and relatively short because I am very petite), it's one of my better looks.

The shirt dress has to have relatively little in the way of sleeve to look good on me given the shoulder situation. But if it's very tailored it works.

I am tallish and slender, but flat chested. I cannot wear any sort of tshirt dress - needs to have some sort of shape to it so I don't look like a little boy. I like the dress the OP posted; the boxy, clingy, tshirt dresses, no way.

I look best in a tunic or a shift. You can find them with shirt plackets. But the shirt dress with a tie waist will never look good on me.

Interesting - this is also my body type. Tunics look great. Shifts - you mean a very short dress?
A tie waist actually looks surprisingly good but maybe because I am so heavy now I need SOMETHING to show it's not all boobs all the way down?
