Too formal for my job?

I work as a part time receptionist/frontdesk on weekends and there's a dress code that we have to adhere to. On paper it sounds very formal: Formal office wear + covered shoes. But the people working there are a lot more casual in office. Even the big bosses don't dress that formally unless we have clients visiting. I found this dress for sale and bought it but I have second thoughts on whether it is too formal for the job.

Thoughts?

No it's lovely. It's just a very nice, flattering and classic black dress. You can't go wrong!

Thanks @26BillHadersNewWife! I guess I'm just over thinking it.

Really nice and sleeves are a bonus.

I think it's lovely. It's one of those dresses that looks like it was made for you, definitely keep it.

It looks like a dress up/dress down kinda dress - perfect!

Wow! I never think to look there, but that dress would be ideal for my job too.
