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.

Disagree. A shirt dress can button up all the way to the top, which is what would really accentuate the lack of neck/chinlessness/double chin. Opening it up to a V line would actually open up the whole neck and chin area, and draw some attention away from the chin - or from where the top of a buttoned neckline would meet the chunky chin.

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

+1

I’m short and can pull them off if they’re in petite size. They have to be scaled down.

This is always the answer to "What type of body looks good in x"

If you're slim, you can pull off nearly any outfit. That's really what it boils down to.

A t-shirt dress: almost nobody. They look like pajamas.

A shirt dress: tall women. I’m 5’5” which isn’t short and a lot of them swallow me. The belted ones look cute if they’re the right length (closer to knee rather than midi) and the skirt isn’t too full.

This is me too. Love them.

I have been tempted to try this one which has a bit more shape

I like it but I would not describe this as a shirt dress.

A shirt dress is like a very long dress shirt. It usually has a collar and at least a few buttons. The ones without waist seaming / inset waist are most common and hardest to wear. I have one with a structured bodice that works for me.

I have huge boobs, a thick waist, and smaller hips. There is no shirt dress in the world, lol.

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.

No boobs, longish neck, scaled sizing.

Im apple shape, broad shoulders and narrow waist. thin arms and legs. they are my go to

Then you are wrong. This is a shirt dress made with poplin or other types of crisper cotton weave. T-shirts are made of stretchier jersey fabric (cotton or otherwise) and have a different drape and feel. They cling more to the body. The effect is completely different.
