Opinions needed on this dress - would you wear it for work?

I need something smart for a conference I have to attend in a couple of weeks. And as I usually turn up for work in jeans and a top that I've just hauled out of the wash basket I don't want to spend £££ on something I'm not going to get much wear out of.

Is this too dressy/wedding-y? I've got a grey linen jacket, would that look ok?

Nope, that looks very nice indeed (and a fab price), great with a grey or black jacket, I'd go with opaque tights.

Looks way too sexy secretary for me .. I would suggest somewhere like NEXT who specialise in work clothes

I really like it - always go to a dress for easy work wear.
Only note of caution is you need to make sure it is not too 'cleavagey' depending on your particular figure

Nice colour but too plunging - can you wear a camisole under?

I wish cleavage was something I had to worry about... Envy

YY to opaque tights - I was thinking that would make it less dressy/more business-like. I'll go and have a look at the green one.

The crepe ones are lovely actually, but sadly not in my size. I really liked the plum one.

You can wear a black vest top for modesty fwiw. I like it...black tights, cool jacket...

Lovely dress Smile. Might buy it at that price, but can't find the size. It says add to basket and adds but doesn't ask what size? Any ideas?

Pourquoimoi · 23/02/2013 22:08

Found the sizing, typically not available in my size Hmm. A lovely selection of dresses though.

Agree that the one you've linked to, while a nice dress, is probably not ideal for a conference (or not the day aspect anyway).

How about one of these?
Grey
Blue
Or this one's so inexpensive it would do for day and you could get the other one as well. Grin
