Why The Pockets?

I just don't understand chest pockets on a strapless jumpsuit. I guess it's supposed to look like one of those utility jumpsuits.

Don't you have to laugh when you think about what it would look like if the wearer actually put any items in the pockets?!

@Greeneyedlady21 the only reason I can imagine any designer ever puts pocket over the bust is that they hope no large busted woman will choose to wear their design.

I think you answered your own question. It's a utility jumpsuit. The chest pockets are probably not meant to be of any utility on the jumpsuit.....

It seems the designer put everything on that they could think of.

What a hoot!

I’m all about chest pockets but this just looks odd to me.

Aside from the color, there isn't much appeal to this fashion statement!!!!

Or maybe @millieshops it's for small busted woman to make it look like they have more Either way, it is ugly

My first thought when I saw the pockets is that they are a "modesty" feature in case you don't want to wear a bra.

I wouldn't use the pockets. It's a wardrobe malfunction just waiting to happen! Lol

It's a style that's popular on "Junior size" clothing...

@Greeneyedlady21 I don't wear jumpsuits, but I do have a few strapless tops w/ chest pockets. Guess what? The pockets cover the "girls" and a stapless bra is not needed. There's a method to the designer's madness.

the model could put her mask in the chest pocket . I sure would not risk putting anything heavy in those pockets

I think most Denim and Co pants come up high enough to be worn that way.

@mspatmac I could probably count on my fingers all the tops or dresses I have ever owned that had bust pockets and I would still have fingers left for more. I actually don't think they are ugly per se, but I know better than to wear them myself.

I like jumpsuits but not this one. As far as the pockets I agree they are for modesty more than use. I'm also not a fan of the strapless style, don't like that heavy elastic feeling on my chest.

It's a fashion element, they are not supposed to be used.
