Can I accessorise this dress for a funeral?

[ItsAll]

Navy dress

I thought it would be fine, but now I'm not so sure. Anyway, I was wondering about a black blazer, black flats, and a dark grey cross body bag. I think I've got this so wrong though .

I really don't think that's appropriate for a funeral, sorry. It is a beautiful dress though.

It's a bit Summery, I think. It looks very casual for a funeral.

You might get away with it depending on your relationship to the deceased and their family, but if you are anything but a loose acquaintance, and you could inadvertently offend them. Or just feel really out of place all day, which might be worse!

Oh no, thanks both.

I can't see anything wrong with it. I know at my dad's funeral I wouldn't have cared if people came in their pyjamas. The important thing is you're going

I wouldn't judge you for what you were wearing. I would just be pleased that you bothered to turn up to support the deceased. But that is just my opinion.

I think its fine without the scarf. Pair of smart shoes, jacket.

I was supposed to go to a funeral before xmas but due to train strikes couldn't make it. I couldn't afford a new outfit so was going to wear a ltb that normally wear at night with flat shoes.

On the model with the scarf it looks way too casual... By itself it doesn't.

So I think it might depend how it looks on you tbh.

It's fine, but I would wear opaques, if it's a bit short on you.

Unless otherwise specified, it's usual to wear sober coloured and modest clothing to a funeral. There's no need to wear all black, and in fact, I've seen lots of women wear really inappropriate dresses to funerals, because they were black (the dresses, not the women).

I think it depends on the funeral. I went to a v posh upper middle class one last year and expected it to involve well-cut jackets and gleaming footwear. I dressed accordingly and fitted right in. Most funerals round here, though, just involve looking as if you have made a bit of an effort to wear sober clothes, brush your hair, and clean your shoes. That blue dress would look fine at a funeral like that.

I think it's fine with a jacket and sensible height shoes. If it's more than a couple of cm above your knees and the weather is less than 20deg I'd wear opaqueness too.

I think with a blazer, smart shoes and tights it would be fine.

I think that the dress does look smart in the second picture - I think it can just be dressed up or down.

I'm going to try it on with everything else, then decide.

It only looks casual because of the scarf and the model's general appearance! It's fine for a funeral. I'd wear black tights and smart, dark jacket/cardi with it.

I think it would be fine with a black blazer and black tights.

Maybe not if you are close family ,but with opaque tights and a jacket it will be fine .I wore a purple jacket with black trousers to a neighbours funeral in Feb as my 'best' winter cost is teal coloured and I thought it was bit bright .Too cold to go coatless .Said neighbour wouldn't have given a toss as long as I looked 'smart' ( we shared a love of clothes) but I didn't want to offend anyone
