Dress for dd(15) to wear at a funeral

7 replies

Sadly we are all going to a close relative’s funeral next week and dd has nothing appropriate to wear - she’s normally either in school uniform, jeans or jodhpurs and the only dresses she has are summer ones.

Can anyone suggest styles which would be appropriate, not too expensive and have potential to be worn again?

Dd is close to 5’9” (mostly leg) and a size 4/6

Thanks

Would this do it?

My dd got some nice dresses from Dorothy Perkins, their fit and flare jersey ones look smart but can be dressed down and worn casually too. They were about £25 I think.

Something simple from ASOS tall?

This new look dress from their tall range is nice and could definitely be worn again.
Sorry for you loss

Is she yr11? Will she need to wear formal office wear to school in sept? If so, I'd go for a nice suit then she could wear a nice blouse to lighten the black, pale pink or perhaps the person's favourite colour.

Thank you for all the suggestions - I couldn’t face schlepping round shops next weekend as there’s so much stuff to sort out and it’s all a bit overwhelming.

Dd’s gone for the ASOS dress PNGirl linked to but they were all good ideas. She’s actually in Y10 and still growing so I think suit buying is better left for a while ...

Thank you all - really helpful
