It is on Monday, and i have literally nothing here and no idea what to do at this late stage. Seen nothing in local stores, and would prefer something very special that could be worn in the future, also.

Is it fitting? I am not very experienced with this sort of thing, but we don't want anything too sombre, if that makes sense?

Also, I am usually a size 8 (with miniscule norks) and am worried the size this model is wearing might swamp me (she is much taller than me, I am 5'4). But I am afraid to get the 6 because i have a 26 inch waist and feel it might be too small???
Oh, and I am late 30's but this would definitely suit my 'look' if that makes sense.

And it is so expensive......please help me out!

I'm so sorry for your loss. All the dresses pictured above are lovely, try not worry too much (stupid thing to say, I know, because you want everything just perfect). All the best for Monday

So sorry for your loss.

Just want to echo what sitting said. When my dad died I wore a dress I already had to the funeral, plus some new perfume. Since then - four years ago now - I can only think of the dress, especially with a black jacket as "the funeral dress" and I find it weird wearing the perfume, whatever it's with. I wasn't that close to my dad and didn't think that sort of thing would bother me. I would think about something less pricey that you can get shot of in case you feel the same.

So sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm sure he'd think you look beautiful in any dress that you wear.
I'd echo the other posters and say not to spend too much as it will always be a 'funeral' dress. Have you got a grey/navy/ black shots dress in your wardrobe that you could wear with a jacket?
Maybe have the Jaegar one as a happier treat in the summer?
Beat wishes for Monday x
