Dress for job interview, help!

Hello, I have a job interview in a few weeks and - assuming the weather will remain as it is - I'm thinking that a dress might be ok to wear? Travel time to interview will be about two hours and I'm dreading turning up looking like a hot sweaty rag- apologies if you're eating :)

Can anyone recommend any nice, smart dresses? I'm 5'2, size 12, big boobs...do you need any more info? HELP.
TIA

What field is the job in?

What's your budget?

I bought a £35 navy blue one from next for a recent interview
Didn't get the job though but hopefully you'll do better than me Flowers

FlossyMoo- thank you so much. I'm going to look at the links now.

Tethersend- it's regional manager type role for a charity. Home based but travel across four counties.

Amyhamster- sorry about the job! Hope something better comes up. I'll have a look at Next.

Why not travel in other clothes and find somewhere to change at a coffee shop?

Ha ha well you could buy them all Grin

It depends on the charity for what style you choose.

I work for an armed forces charity so looking practical and very smart was key. I like the ASOS one and the next one. Good luck on the interview OP.

Thanks Tethersend, that also a beautiful dress and now I want them both. A great idea about changing, I'll look into that.

Thanks again for all your help, it's very much appreciated.

I had a job interview recently - I wore a dress and heels, but took a smart jacket with me and I did wear it for part of the interview process and I think I wouldn't have felt v professional without it.

I also wore tights, and took them off in the loos on the train as was toasting. They were obviously dazzled by my unshaven legs as I got the job Grin
