Dark grey to a funeral?

[TobleroneBoo]

Is this acceptable do you think?
I was going to wear this dress with thick black tights.
Dress

Or should I just stick with black?

Yes I would say that was appropriate. It can look perfectly sombre with black tights and jacket.

Colour is fine.

On the model it's a bit short for a funeral imo.

Any dark colour would be fine (unless told to wear bright colours). I agree it looks a little short on the model but would probably be OK with thick tights depending on your height.

I am very short so should be ok on me, just wasn't sure if grey would look like I was trying to stand out from the black, which I'm not.

Thanks for your responses

The last few funerals I've been to had a mixture of black, grey and navy.

That dress looks fine (with the PP's caveat about length)

Sorry for your loss

Yes, it's fine if long enough on you.
Sorry for your loss.

Thank you, a dress seems irrelevant in comparison, I just don't want to get it wrong

It's not irrelevant at all Toblerone. How you are dressed can impact how you feel.

It's also a small way of showing respect to the person that has died and their family.

Looks fine to me unless - you might only want to reconsider if you are very immediate family/chief mourner. Otherwise grey is fine. For funerals though, I usually keep my coat on for the religious sevice indoors also, so make sure you have a suitably formal dark (not necessarily black) outer layer to wear.

The most important thing though is you are there to grieve and offer comfort to the bereaved.

Oh, I am immediate family but I do have a black coat which would totally cover the dress and I imagine it will be freezing anyway and probably wouldn't even take the coat off until the wake, so that could be ok?

Absolutely fine as long as it's not as short as on the model.

If you're immediate family you can wear whatever you like.

I think it looks perfectly appropriate.
Sorry for your loss.

I wore dark green and brown to my neighbours funeral, I think as long as it's respectful and not bright (unless specified), it's ok. Sorry for your loss.

Yeh nothing wrong with it at all.

It's fine for a funeral except that you might be cold with the short sleeves. Perhaps a cardigan or jacket would be worth bringing.
