Update! - What to wear to job interview?

2»

Comments

  • I have the same problem with blouses but have solved it by simply sewing on a tiny press stud between the buttons that gap. Problem no more!

    I also have an interview and have opted for a black skirt, black knee high boots and a smart blouse. I would usually wear a suit but wonder sometimes if it can come accross as too stuffy

    Good Luck

    Same here, tiny popper stud works a treat, but if you don't get time, I always make sure I safety pin the offending "gape" from the inside, as that part of the blouse is double thickness, you can usually do it without the pin showing at all.

    Best of luck! :)

    Well done!

    And what did you wear?
  • Well done!

    And what did you wear?

    Thanks

    I wore black trousers, boots and a shirt which had a 'pretend' cardi on it. The top was from Dorothy Perkins, and as it has a slight stretch in it, it didn't gape over my chest! It was really comfortable to wear too. And I got £5 off it when I bought it with a voucher they had sent with my storecard.
