Hey, I think it could work, its nothing too flashy or in-your-face and also, its modest. And I think that that is what most companies are looking for! nobody wants any titties bulging out! anyway, if you really wanna play safe and you still aren't confident with this outfit, an office skirt/pants with a white office shirt and black coat could never go wrong! perhaps once you're accepted into their company, you could see how chill they are with office attire and then adjust your outfits thereafter! best of luck with the interview :) xx

Yes, it's too dressy for work. If you're going to wear tight things, make them longer. If you're going to wear shorter things, make them looser. Trust me, I've had jobs without uniforms, it's all about being classy. For example, as an accountant don't dress like you're going to a club (which is how that dress looks to me). Try a dress you would wear to church/synagogue/a nice lunch with your grandmother instead. You need to look professional, and heels and tights won't do enough to make that dress professional, I don't think. I'm so sorry if this comes out sounding harsh, I just think that a short, tight dress shouldn't be considered workplace appropriate.

Wear it with a black blazer and some professional flats. Do not wear a lot of makeup.

When your in a interview always look at them, don't look at your feet or play with your hands, be confident, don't stutter, don't go on and on, on a question make it short and sweet, never say nothing negative about your self always say something positive for example they as this question a lot what is one of your flaws, and this is a perfect answer, one of my flaws would have to be being too organized because I take time to organize everything to make sure everything is where it is supposed to be, this is an example of course you could use it in an interview but I just wanted to give you an example on never saying something negative good luck hope you get the job =D.

It's cute, but I don't think you should wear something that tight.

I don't think this is very appropriate for work only because it reminds me more of a club dress. Try something more modest?

Thing is though I would never wear a knitted dress on a night out haha it's an oversized jumper it says in the description! The other option I see loads of girls who work in offices are black high wasted body con skit with a blouse and tights, that's exactly the same length and both tight! Maybe it might be where I'm from, to be honest I'd class this dress as modest compared to most girls in my city liverpool!

By the way I'd never wear heels in the daytime whether it's for work or not, so black flats would dress it down completely anyway in my opinion!
