High neck dress

I'm wondering if a neck this high, basically a mock neck would work with big boobs and a not strong jaw line (aka borderline double chin)
I like the pattern and the rest of the dress, plus the price is good

There are some mini dresses in my size, but I'm not as keen on the fit and flare style.
Or just wait things out?
And ugh on listing out my body issues.

Anna, I'd be inclined to try it - it's such a fab dress!

I really like that! The print may be enough to mitigate some of the concern. And the price is right!

I would give the dress a try. Great patterned midi dress. The mock neck shouldn't be an isuue. The necklines that could be problematic with a larger bust are polo, crew, cowl, square, and overly deep v-necks.

I think you should try it because it's a mock neck. I wouldn't bother if it was a high turtle neck but I find mocks more forgiving with my double chin! I like it for you and can totally see you in it!

I see it as a mandarin or band collar. With the neck/chin it probably depends on whether it skims or is constricting. Don't think it'll

matter at all about large bust because the all over print breaks everything up so a person doesn't know where to look.

There's clearance between the collar and the chin and I'm thinking that the not so defined shoulder might give you some extra room in the bust.

It's unusual to see such a pretty dress in an all over print that still has some edge and the black and white might make it easy to wear.

Give it a go.

The fabric is 100% Viscose...is that rayon?

I do like this dress and think you would have a lot of fun accessorizing and wearing it.

I agree with Janet, the print and relative ease of the top will probably make it work...

I have sort of a soft chin too, and I actually feel like a high neck helps to define the jaw. These days it’s hidden by the mask anyway.....

No one will be looking at anything but your legs with that high slit. Be sure that you try the sit down test in front of the full length mirror before cutting the tags, just in case.

You won't know if you don't try. That said, I am pretty sure it would not work with my short neck and largish boobs, but I am also short and short waisted.

A great dress, hope it works out because it looks like it will be great on you. Online ordering is so hard. Can they give you the actual garment measurements? For me, that is always the best way of knowing whether something will fit.

I really don’t know. On the one hand ‘it’s a turtleneck’, but then there looks to be decent room on the sides, it’s got strong pattern and is long - which are balancing. That’s a darn good price. I’d give it a go.

Hard to say . Worth trying though - for the reasons you mentioned. I'm nervous about anything right up under my neck too . Soft jawline now and all.
