re denim jumper

I posted last week about a denim jumper I had ordered and received it yesterday. I decided I am not a jumper person but it is cut high in the under arms and neckline so it makes a really cute denim dress. I plan to wear a button shirt or jacket over it for upper arm coverage. I am super impressed with the fabric, workmanship and speed of delivery. This was my first purchase from National but won't be my last.

Glad it worked out for you! It's always a big chance ordering online from a company for the first time. How was the sizing? Can you not fit a shirt under it, or is it just your preference to wear something over it?
I ordered a catalog from them after your post. Very curious to receive it.

@Steffdoggy10 there was plenty of room for tee under it....i just decided i wasn't into that look for myself. size wise i wear an 18 in dept stores and ordered the extra large. I could have gone up a size perhaps for a looser fit thru the hips but the xl works fine as a dress. I think the bodice would have been too large had I sized up...just my body shape

I'm happy it will work out for you. I like your dress idea better than wearing it as a jumper.

I was hasty and said it would look dated. I am glad it worked out for you with your idea to wear a shirt or jacket over it. Is the bottom button far enough down on the front to keep it modest?

Good idea! I think that a denim dress looks more current and up to date than a denim jumper. Enjoy your new outfit.
