Is this dress appropriate for work

[Sweettreet]

I am looking for some clothes on Vinted for work in public sector, middle management and found this one. I love a bit of colour and lace. Also, looking for ideas to pair with any cardigans or coats for winter. Wondering what others think?

It’s very clubbing in 2010

It’s a bit OTT, but dressed down with a cardigan, tights and flats no one will notice.

Or put a white shirt under it, if that works.

No. Not where I work.

Everyone will notice.

op, I suspect you’re having a laugh here/

No

If you took all the lace off

no - but mostly because it’s horrible and dated not because it’s actually inappropriate

No absolutely not appropriate it’s for going out in the evening but people rarely dress up these days.

That wouldn’t fly where I work.

No.

Christ no!!!!!

I’ve got this in a bag ready to go to Vinted. I wore it for a wedding years ago (2010 is probably not far off!) , it’s definitely nicer on than on a hanger but still definitely not a work dress.

Also, just to add, you might be disappointed if you’re expecting lace, it’s heavier than that. More like a table cloth at a fortune tellers.

If your job is managing the bar at Sinatra's nite club in 1989, knock yourself out.

Otherwise, no. Don't be daft.

No. Lace, sequins, spangles, transparent panels, low necks, very short skirts and very loud or bright patterns would get the thumbs down in the public sector I should think.

Well it depends what you do, are you a glamorous assistant on a game show?

🤣🤣🤣

I can’t imagine a workplace where this would be what anyone would wear. I mean, wear it if you like, but it’s really horrible, sorry !

Are you a ringmaster?

May be appropriate in very few niche roles but I can’t think of many! I work in casual clothes and it’s a no. It’s not really formal. It’s not business attire. So I dunno! Maybe if you’re front of house at a restaurant….?

If one of my colleagues wore this I'd be concerned for her. Give it a miss OP.

No. Its a bodycon clubbing dress.

Lace is a no-no at my work place.

It’s very mother of the bride.

Absolutely not. Middle management in public sector you’ll be just fine in some wide trousers, smart trainers and a shirt or jumper

I was thinking more a hostess in a casino

😂😂 I assume you’re joking?
