Job Interview - Tights or no tights???

I have a job interview on Saturday afternoon for a Hotel Receptionist position.
It's been a good few years since I have been for any interviews and I am a bit stuck on what to wear. I'm 25 and previous interviews have been quite informal and my suit is past it's best.
I have a plain black shift dress which is knee length or below (can't quite remember)and is very smart looking. Has capped sleeves so need to wear a blouse. Does this sound ok?
The forecast here for Saturday is hot/sunny with showers.
My dilema is, do I wear black tight or not? Thick or a low denier?
I don't want to be too hot and uncomfortable (as I usually am if I wear tights anytime!) or do I risk showing my peely wally legs which I hate! :rotfl:

Tights, low denier. If you don't want to be hot, then invest in some hold up stockings.0

I agree, skin tone thin tights, don't go bare legged! Stockings or hold ups are not a bad idea but make sure you can't see the tops when you sit down and that they fit right and don't slip down your legs.
Your shift dress sounds perfect.0 -

stockings and no knickers. Sit opposite the (hopefully male) interviewer and keep crossing/uncrossing your legs.0

Definitely skin coloured and I'd also say definitely tights unless you're 100% comfortable in stockings or hold ups (I'm not since a hold up fell down in a busy street! )
Shift dress sounds good. Sounds like simple understated jewellery to finish off and make sure shoes are immaculate.
Best of luck!0 -
we can only hope and dream.0
