Floral dress ok for an interview?

[UsernamesSoHardToChoose]

Last time I had an interview (12years +) I wore a black suit.

I’ve got short notice interview on Wednesday morning which I wasn’t expecting and don’t have an outfit!

Trawled my wardrobe & have the choice of a below knee black, white and grey floral dress (prom style ish) with the black jacket from my old suit. Or my old suit with wide-leg flowy trousers.

I don’t the time or money to get anything tomorrow.

I’ll be home based if I get the job & no office to check out the normal office attire.

Which to wear?

The jacket flattens the skirt

Photos?

I got my current job after wearing a flowery dress to interview. Just depends on how it looks really.

Not a flattering pose. Don’t have one of the trousers

A prom style dress sounds highly unsuitable. What do you mean by "flowy" trousers? Can you really not get to a supermarket for a pair of plain trousers?

Ah, OK, just seen the photo. That's not bad. What's the job?

I think you look smart and professional. Good luck!

Flowy just means the material - not tailored - dated.

You will look really smart and presented. I wish you well

I reckon that’s fine. Good luck!

Yes, I think that's OK, then.

Thanks all

I was imagining some strapless, lilac, shimmery monstrosity as you said prom dress... that looks great though and very professional especially with the tights and heels. Definitely wear that over the trousers. Good luck!

I think as long as the dress material isn't too shiny it will look great. Looks ok in the photo. I think it helps that the colours of the dress are so understated and match the jacket.

Good luck!

couldn’t think how to describe it - should have said fuller skirt.

Forgot it does have a bit of a fine metallic thread on the flowers but not in your face and the rest of the dress is matt.

I would still go for more conventional office dress, but then I don’t know what the role is. This personally seems a bit over the top for an interview

I work in the City and, honestly, it’s fine

That looks fine

Fine it is spring too, so more relaxed dress acceptable

It's fine but I think the wide leg trousers sound better.

It looks well, much better than the 1980’s Laura Ashley one that came to mind when I read your post!

I like the dress but i dont think its suitable for an interview...sorry.

I think this looks fine for an interview. Best of luck

I'd have to go against the grain and say plain trousers would be better
