Sadly I am going to my grandmothers funeral on Monday, and I bought both of these today in a hurry as I have put on weight and didn't have anything suitable. Which would you choose?

www.monsoon.co.uk/day-dresses/genna-check-dress/invt/75222027/

thinking with a black long sleeve top, smart black coat and hat

or

with a blue silk scarf, smart black coat etc

or are neither suitable?

I'm size 14 with sallow skin and long dark hair if it help

also was thinking knee high boots (black)

I would wear Genna, styled as described, only w black heels, not boots. Am sorry your grandmother died.

Agree with bunnymother on Genna. The other dress is nice but looks a bit 'fancy' for the occasion. I think boots would be OK with the genna and black top etc as long as they're reasonably plain, not mega funky.

Sorry for your loss.

Another vote for Genna here.

I'm also sorry for your loss.

Genna.

SkylineDrifter · 20/11/2010 14:16

I love them both, but for a funeral would say Genna too. Sad to hear about your Gran.

Greenwing · 20/11/2010 15:53

Condolences on the death of your grandmother.
Genna definitely.

RiojaLover75 · 20/11/2010 18:45

Genna. Sorry for your loss.

Hazeleyedbaby · 20/11/2010 22:55

Thanks - Genna it is!

Yes agree with Genna but other dress is nice and if its flattering it would be a good christmas dress.

Sorry for your loss and hope the funeral goes ok.

I think you should buy the one that is most you, your grandma would like you at the funeral, not you trying to be acceptable to everyone else if that makes sense.

Hazeleyedbaby · 21/11/2010 08:07

Good point bulby thanks
