Help me decide on a dress for an interview?

[Frenchvanilla]

I'm 5"11 and size 12/14...the look I'm going for is mostly businessy with a hint of creativity (not too much though)

dress 1

dress 2

dress 3

What do you think?

No 3. Without question. It's fab.

The other 2 are not nice.

No 3. First two v casual none of them hint at creativity unless so subtle I've missed it.

I rather like the second one, but it's more for doing the job rather than getting the job.

Last one needs some serious accessorising if you are aiming to show some creative flair

3, definitely. I'm tempted by that one myself at that price! If you did go for the other 2, what would you put over the top? 1 could be nice with the right jacket.

That one was actually my least favourite...I don't like the belt

What about this one? dress 4

Dull

I think 4 could look frumpy. Do you wear jewellery? Or maybe some colour to dress those up a bit?

I agree. Dress 3 by far the best.

Dress 3.

1 is too girly for an interview. 4 is dull. 2 could be ok, but could look mumsy if not styled right.

another vote for dress 3.

thought dress 1 was just okaaaaay, not so keen on dress 2, perhaps photo doesn't do it justice.

think dress 4 would look fab with your height/size combo. would look stunning with some bright jewellery/accessories.

good luck for interview!

Dress 3, and I want one too!

All very black! When I think creative I do think a bit of colour!

There's some good dresses on sale in John Lewis at the moment, Hobbs, Damsel in Distress etc for about £50 that are very smart cuts but with some good colour in them?

Ok. I think you're all right about no. 3.

Without being overly needy or anything, do you fancy helping me choose a scarf to go with it?

like the tigers, black is a negative

love the colours

nice but dull?

again, nice but dullish

I like dress 3 but I think a scarf would spoil it.

I wouldn't put a scarf with it. I am no expert but could you keep the dress as it is and wear a more funky shoe?

I like 2 best but 3 is smarter, not sure about the scarf though as I thought the zip was what made it look slightly different

3 no question, the M&S one is from the Utah sister wife collection. 1&2 too eveningey.

What do you mean by "Utah sister wife collection"? I ask because I quite like the M&S one with a bright cardi/jacket or scarf for work.

I tried the fourth one on and it's ridiculously flattering for my figure- tall medium sized hourglass.

The "Utah" comment I think was because it looks a bit overly conservative in the picture. It's strength is in the huge flattery of the fit, though. It would look amazing with a nice necklace.

I've got an interview coming up and have just ordered the third dress thanks to this thread.

Should I wear it with a jacket/blazer? If so what colour would work?

What sort of necklace do you think would go with it FrenchVanilla?

Overly conservative suits my workplace and my age/figure! So I'll try it and see. Was thinking accessories to make it less plain, but as a "winter" I was told to get a few black dresses and struggled to find one that wasn't straight or too short.

I have also ordered the third dress! Hope it brings us all luck.

Ordinarily I think something statementy would go well because it's so black. However, for interviews I go really conservative with jewellery. Understated gold/silver subtle chain pendant with stud earrings.

I liked dress number one but I am only 5' 2", dress four would be too long.

I'd laugh if you were all going to the same interview
