x86 - Get size of assembly instructions

I need to read instructions one-by-one from a small code segment in memory and I have to find out the size of the instructions which I have in memory.

The following is just a example of raw disassembled code to explain my problem:

 (gdb) disas /r 0x400281,+8
 Dump of assembler code from 0x400281 to 0x400289:
    0x0000000000400281:  48 89 c7       movq   %rax, %rdi
    0x0000000000400284:  b0 00          movb   $0, %al
    0x0000000000400286:  e8 f2 48 00 00 callq  0x10001f30a
 End of assembler dump.

I know the memory address of the first instruction (p = 0x0000000000400281 in this case) and I can read every memory address from p. The problem is that I cannot know if the value of *(p + offset) is the opcode or not and I know that the size information for every opcode is not fixed.

So, can I get the size of every assembly instruction? Or can I know if the value that I read is opcode or information?

@AlexisWilke's response is right: this is messy. He provides the right insights and references to do the work, too.

I have done this work in C. The code follows; this is used in production contexts.

Caveats: It does a good part of the traditional x86 instruction set, but not all, in particular none of the instructions involving the vector register sets. And it contains decoding for a few "virtual" instructions that we happen to use in our code. I don't think extending this to x86-64 would be difficult, but it would get messier. Lastly, this is lifted directly, but I don't make any guarantees this will compile out-of-the box.
