3 hour train journey to “meet the team” What to wear.

I have stage 4 of an interview process next week. They want me to meet them face to face before formally offering me the role. There’s lunch and then some meetings with the team.

Because the team are spread all over the country we’re to meet in a central location which is a 3 hour train journey for me. I arrive on the day with very little time to spare before the lunch.

Really struggling with what to wear in terms of how formal to be but also something that will survive the train journey without me looking like a crumpled mess. Or should I change just before the train gets in?

I need sleeves as hate my arms and have big boobs so need something that has a waist. Any suggestions?

The sentence about her arms wasn't in the original post.

The OP added the comment about her arms to her post after I had already replied with a suggestion which was a sleeveless dress.

Had I seen it before posting, I would have suggested something with sleeves, which I did do later in the thread.

It was in the original post. You can see the edit history you know.

You should aim to be the smartest person in the room, but not overly so.
Since it's corporate finance I'd go with a knee length dress, in one or two colours, flat shoes and straight hair.
In the industry I work in I can usually get away with something more casual like a floral dress.

a) she hates her arms and wants sleeves
b) she has big boobs

That dress is a not suitable for either of the above!
