I have a funeral to attend and can't decide what to wear. I do have a black trouser and black and white high neck top that i have previously worn to a funeral but not sure if I would prefer to wear a dress.
Is this dress too short?
Any suggestions for a suitable black dress that is not too expensive.

Thinking about ordering this one too.

It's at the cleaners at present, but I'll try and retrieve the brand and model if you want. Bought it online, so should have it in an email ...

Sorry for your loss.
English funeral simple - wear black unless clear direct message from organiser. Don't wear trousers unless you know it to be a modern affair. Dress knee length minimum, have covered shoulders, no lace, not low cut and quite plain. I have a fit and flare from lands end of all places. At grand parents funerals - yes I have put it to one side as my funeral outfit - I have received compliments from their contemporaries.

my go to funeral attire is black trousers and some kind of plain top, probably a blouse, but nothing that could in any way be construed as looking for attention.

I wore black trousers to my husband's funeral, without wishing to, i don't even know what the word is, humblegrieve?

I think it all depends on the family to be honest. My friends funeral required an obnoxious yellow piece of clothing as was his favourite colour. My partners gran passed earlier this year, and although it was a more formal affair, 2 of her daughters were in florals / purple as was her favourite colour. I wore a black 50s style dress with mesh / lace sleeves, attention grabbing to some, fitting imo. Personally, I think it would be fine with a blazer / cardigan and black tights.

Think dress and coat are now sorted. I'm leaning towards the marisotta dress (the last picture) or the next dress which ever I feel more comfortable in. I've also remembered a smart black coat I bought for an interview which finally fits me again.

Next challenge shoes and tights! I. Going for comfort so expect to wear my wedges.

So you think a dark plum coloured tights is acceptable (to break up the black) or should I just stick to black?

Sorry for all of the questions my head is a little all over the place at the moment and I'm finding it difficult to make a confident decision!

Thanks for all of your help!

I really like the one posted on Wed 04-Oct-17 16:49:02. Its really elegant and decent looking. Perfect for a funeral. I'd love to have one of it to my self as well.

I've ordered that one Abijam its at the top of the list hopefully it looks as good on. If not I've also ordered the last dress pictured.

Dark plum tights are fine. How high are the wedges? You want to be comfortable, make sure you can walk in them!

Not too high, have worn them to funerals I the past and they were fine.

This one has just arrived and I think it's perfect. It's a really thick material so is nice and warm and it fits really well. Thanks for all of your help .

To me, it's a party dress and not funeral attire. It's tight, sleeveless and with a lace see-through section. Just not funeral. Imho. The length is the least of concerns.

Ah, rtwt!

Plum tights are absolutely fine though.

The next dress is perfect.

The wrap dress is lovely. Simple black shoes mid heel would be perfect.

It’s a fashion statement not a bereavement outfit.

The second one was fine though I think as the arms are covered , still a bit fashionable though

@Bubblysqueak the sun is shining in London right now! 15c too

I think it's a cocktail/evening dress. More appropriate would be cuts below the knee. The second dress is more appropriate.
