to think looking attractive will help me get the job?

[moustachio]

interview tomorrow and DP thinks I should wear my black primark suit. It's ill fitting but I don't have much money and was the best i could afford. My other option is this dress www.amychildsofficial.co.uk/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=94&product_id=298 . DP says that it's better to play it safe in white shirt & black suit rather than feel stupid.

I think looking good in the dress is much better than the frumpy suit! His office is full of techy people. I don't think he understands women do wear more fashionable things to offices nowdays. Any opinions? I know it's not right, but I do think that flattering my figure and looking 'pretty' will help with my confidence if nothing else!

My dh says where he works interviewed for a secretary recently. They were all good so they "gave the job to the one with the best tits".

Depressing isn't it.

How was the interview? What did you wear?

I agree the dress is much better, hope it went well whatever you chose to wear.

Hope the interview went / is going well, OP.

Another option to bear in mind for the future is to wear a lace-trimmed vest top in a neutral colour under a low-cut dress or top. M&S do two for £15 or thereabouts in a variety of colours and because they are straight-cut across the top they make a cleavage-y top or dress more conventionally "respectable" while still being smart and feminine.

OP, if I was the interviewer and you wore the dress I would think you looked smart. I work in an environment where suites and smart wear is a must. Plenty of women in business wear that kind of dress. It's not too short and you can avoid the woundabra.

Now I've seen the photo of the OP wearing it I don't think it looks wrong at all. I probably would not go so far as to recommend it for an interview, but I wouldn't shriek in horror at it either. I have revised my opinion.

Go for the dress. It's better to wear something that makes you feel good rather than self conscious. Besides if you got boobs it shows whatever you wear!

You and me both, Fell

I'd charity shop the suit

This is a great thread. . Mumsnet at its best.

I hope you get to the next stage. If you do I hope you post a picture of your M&S outfit.

The dress looks great.

The dress looked amazing on you. Suits you much much more than it does Amy Childs! Fingers crossed for a call back.

You looked really lovely and smart in that dress - much better than Amy Childs.
