Wearing this dress on a job interview

I posted last week about interviewing preggo for a dream job. I have decided to wear this dress, with a blazer and black wedge heels. 24 weeks tomorrow. Interview is next week. Thoughts? Comments? More advice?

    Very cute, professional and you can wear again. Idk but it sort of seems like a lot of black..Maybe a simple necklace with some color?

    Very classy.  You might not even need a blazer with it really, unless you've already tried it on together and like the look.

    What industry are you in? I think this makes a difference. I like the dress a lot, but I am an attorney and couldn't wear something so flowy and flouncy on the bottom (and short? Hard to tell - the model has on leggings) to an interview. I also would never wear wedges to a legal interview.

    It's wicked cute but I don't think I would wear that to an interview. Like the pp it may depend on your industry. But I would wear a suit with a maternity top. I work in healthcare if that makes a difference. If you do decide to wear it definetly wear black ho's and not a wedge shoe.

    This.  It will depend upon your industry but, in general, it looks short and too flowy.  If it's an only option, you'd definitely want to wear opaque black tights, closed toe pumps and a blazer.  Cute dress though.

    Its an interview in pharmaceutical sales. As far as my networking has proven, they prefer reps to look extremely attractive and a little on the (dare I say) sexy side. The wedges, i have in mind are wedge pumps, closed toe of course. I'm thinking the blazer will make it a little more professional looking.

     I think the suit will just look too wide, stuffy, and the weather is looking like it'll be mid 70's in NYC.

    I really like it but not for an interview. It looks like it needs to be worn with leggings due to the upper cut on the sides, way too short for an interview.

    Something like this might work with a blazer (although it says the skirt is jersey). In fact, I might just buy it myself because it is really inexpensive.

    I agree with this, though I would wear a shirt over the skirt instead of vice versa to keep the pharma rep look.

    I totally get where you're coming from, but I'm just not a huge fan of the first dress.

    I have this skirt on today and would rock it for an intv like yours with a black blazer and pumps:

    Yea, I was looking at that skirt as well. But wait which slits are you talking about the dress doesn't describe any slits...

     Also, I'm 5'5'' not that tall, hoping it wont be too short. Damn- now I feel like I should've ordered that skirt as well...

    This made me giggle because I just watched a re-run of How I Met Your Mother where they talked about sexy pharma-girls:)
