For a funeral which dress A or B. It is quite a big affair and there will more than likely be local press attending because of who the person is. Any other suggestions welcome. Thank you

If you get a basic black dress that isn't particularly "on trend" it will be muted enough for a funeral but also not get too dated as a basic staple in your wardrobe. Like this kind of thing.

Nothing, that's what I'd do too. Much more usable. Understated. Good thinking.

You don't have to wear black. The last two funerals I went to most people wore something respectable but not black. Navy, grey, bright scarf all fine.

Defiantly A.
Its glamorous, feminine, elegant and classy

Don't like any, boden and next have some more respectable dark dresses which are longer and cover shoulders.

I think it partly depends on you relationship with the deceased. If close, then glamour is fine. I am sorry for your loss x

Sorry for your loss. It's so hard deciding on a funeral dress and a lot of people have work wear they can use. If you don't it makes it harder.

I would consider going to next or matalan and seeing if you can get a black (or even dark grey) shift dress. You might find yu don't want to wear it again and then it doesn't matter if it sits in the back of a wardrobe.

I think the detailing on the dresses you've found just makes them a little less funeral wear which is why I'd avoid them. I hear what you're saying, you're not trying to stand out to the local press, quite the opposite, which is why I'd avoid them.

Neither. They are far too 'night out' for a funeral. The dress Intransige posted is perfect though.
