What to wear to a funeral?

[RonaldMcDonald]

My dear friend has died. I am at a bit of a standstill.
He appreciated very stylish to the point of ridiculous for himself and others.
I just can't think straight.

I am about 5'10 really a sz10 but depending can take anything from a 10-14 due to tittage.
My legs are good and beloved by my friend. I can spend up to £500.

I know that this might seem shallow. I am.

I am so sorry. Do you think his service might have a theme? If so, perhaps wait till the details are announced.

So sorry for your loss, Ronald.

I know this is Pepperberry but I like it - I wore it to DMiL's funeral recently. I felt comfortable and stylish without having to think about it much IYKWIM.

I hope the day goes as well as things things can go.

I'm very sorry I think this is your last chance to do something for him if you see what I mean so, if you were close then I would wear something that he would have liked even if it's not strictly funereal. That's what I hope people will do for me.

What Flo said - dress for him.
Sorry for your loss.

I know it sounds odd. To think of how he would have wanted us to be or look. Maybe I'm thinking a bit strangely about it all.
Dunno

I'm unsure if a theme is the appropriate term but I get what you mean expat and you are right
It is all a bit crap

We have been told to turn up at a certain time and place and to later expect to take part in an all night celebration of his life
We were asked to dress appropriately; Fabulously, as if you need to ask

Ah. Fabulous.

Go all out vintage Pucci or something?
I presume black is NOT on the agenda with that brief.

I'm sorry for your loss.

If stylish and black is what you think you'll be going for, Joseph Ribkoff is probably worth a look. Things like this, this or this might be suitable?

Dress for him, absolutely.

Net a Porter has some lovely, chic and very high fashion black dresses at the minute. I'm a huge Vivienne Westwood fan - but there's plenty online.

Sorry, x-posted there (wrote my message and the didn't actually post it). I'll have a think.

Have called his partner to discuss.

He feels that a feather capelet thing that I own and he adored must feature...lots of lofty big bird japes to recall

I am thinking plus a leather dress from an age ago

thanks completely btw
