Is this ok for a job interview?

[MalfunctioningRobot]

I have this dress in black, do the sleeves look ok or too short?

It’s my first ever interview so I’m really nervous and want to at least be confident in what I’m wearing!

It looks a bit casual to me. What is the job? How 'formal' is the interview?

How long is it on you? And what is the interview for ? That would be too informal for most interviews I have been to.

If it is longer, and if you can add smart shoes and a blazer it might be passable as long as its not a corporate job.

Depends on the job. If you wanted my particular job then no, it's not appropriate at all, but if it's something in an industry that is more fashionable, modern or laid back then it might be fine.

With smart shoes, bag and hair etc I think it’ll look good.

Is it in person or over Zoom/Teams?

Agree with others it entirely depends on the role.

I would say it makes you look a bit young (without knowing you or the role )

Too casual IMO. I usually go for high waisted wide leg trousers, a small heel & a shirt / blouse.

Depends on the job. Would be fine for mine but too casual for others.
I prefer trousers and a shirt/blouse, don't think you can go wrong with that.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I’m really short so it is longer on me than in that photo, around knee length.

It’s an in person interview, for a receptionist job at a manufacturing company. I might stick with black pants and a blouse type top, that was my second option.

Too casual . If you're asking about sleeves then I assume you're not wearing a jacket , a jacket might have saved it.
Yes sleeves are much too short .
Can you wear a blouse & trousers ?
A dress needs to be quite conservative if it's for an interview.

Def go with your second option. It looks very girly with the frilled cap sleeves and skirt flounces. You want to project competence. Good luck!

Can you pop in and see what folks are wearing at that company? I agree with the PP that, for summer, and paired with a good bag and shoes and smart hair it could be a nice interview outfit. Most applicants will wear the safe black trousers... standout and be remembered in a good way!

Second option is preferable, no question. That is not an interview dress! Good luck

Thanks everyone. I didn’t want to feel too hot in a jacket/black trousers. I see what people mean though about it looking a bit summer school dress, I’m not sure if it’s the colour that makes it look that way though?

I couldn’t find the black on the website before but have attached a photo of the black version. I was planning on wearing suede loafer type shoes with it.

Definitely go safe with the black trousers option. Good luck!

Always err for slightly too formal at interview, in my opinion. I definitely don't dress as formal in my job as I did during the interview process, but still wear 'work' clothes, just not the shirt/trousers/blazer combo.

If it's knee length on you and you've got a nice jacket and shoes to go with it, I don't see why not. I get why people think it's too casual, but it's arguable that it is perfectly ok office wear.

No sorry op it's not suitable

I’ll stick with trousers and a smart top, thanks everyone for helping me out with this.

It's a lovely dress but I'd wear it with lovely sandals on holiday it's very casual but good luck for your interview

Good luck 🤞 and let us know how you get on .

Wear whichever makes you feel most confident. Good luck.

As a rule of thumb you should be too formal rather than too casual

Good luck!!!

If I’m interviewing, although l notice what someone has on, unless someone turns up in a clown suit or dirty clothes, l pay little regard to what they are wearing. I’m more interested in what they have to say.
