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?

If you work in a wine bar in 2005 it’s fine. Otherwise, no.

Why did you mention “a bit of colour and lace“ then op? 🤔

Because the second dress has lace on 🤡

No

Both dresses have lace on !

Oh god yes it has. Even worse then.

God no, not where i work or have ever worked. It's a bit OTT

Awfully dated and looks like you're going to a club In 2010 with some black wedges and your best mates wearing a peplum.

No and no

Didn't see the black dress before I posted. That is much better and yes, I would wear that

As I am not the only person not to notice dark lace on a dark dress on a shit photo via a tiny phone screen, you can jog on with your pass agg clown emoji.

It’s not really a dress you’d wear to work, looks very dated and probably wasn’t ever a great dress.

The first one does look incredibly dated but the second one probably wouldn’t draw any comments in my workplace. I wouldn’t wear it myself but it’s fairly unremarkable - enough so that it would be fine.

What a thread 😮

Nope to both dresses!

Op are you very petite so have to buy short and then they come up midi length on you ?

if not, These short dresses are so dated now and old fashioned, very nineties and early 2000’s and they are not making a comeback, trust me.

edit, god also just seen the second one is also lacy. Now I definitely think you’re having a laugh.

I'd say no.

It’s so dated OP. And I say this as a sixty year old!!!

The second dress looks very short.

Jesus no 😆 I’m public sector in a large organisation and I don’t know anyone who dresses like that to work. It’s generally smart casual not city exec!!!

It’s teal with lace sides and a mini. Aka the 90s called and want their clothes back.

I think folks aren’t looking ah the dress properly.

Awful.Sorry

It's probably appropriate. Very dated but fairly unremarkable.

No

Second dress is marginally better but still terribly dated. Why not a Sezane-style lace top with wide legged trousers if you like lace? That would be perfectly acceptable where I work (academia).
