Hi , can anyone point me toward a simple back dress that I can buy for a funeral ?

usually get stuff in bunted but needs to be easy to just go and buy rather than waiting for delivery , it not turning out to be suitable etc.

just if anyone has seen something suitable in any shops lately , rather than me traipsing around looking for one at a time I really don’t feel like doing that.

size 14.

thanks x

Can you get to an H&M? They have this shirt dress in plain black or navy, but they also have it in a really nice restrained black floral. They've got loads of other black dresses too, and other plain dark colours. I think it would suit anyone.

Sorry for your loss, try H & M or Next. Order a few on next day delivery.
Also New Look, it’s easier to order a good few online as stock in store is often limited.
You also don’t mentioned your age and if you want arms covered etc.

This is the floral I was thinking of. I think you could wear this to most funerals nowadays and you'd get use of it after, too. Sorry for your loss, @Ricoletti

Thanks everyone.

im early 40’s. I don’t mind short/cap sleeve but not vest style , I like my shoulders covered.
.
nothing low cut.

it’s for an older persons funeral so I tend to dress in more conservative/ traditional style in this case.

I will check out these links. Thanks again x
