What to wear to DP`s funeral

[Lostpuzzlepiece]

I hope this is ok to post here.

I've got my much loved partner`s funeral coming up and cannot think straight. I am going to look for an outfit today and really don't know what to wear, or where to look. I was hoping some of you people would have some advice.
Am petite, 5ft tall, size 8, blue eyes, dark blonde hair. Any advice would be appreciated.

What ever you are comfortable in.

So sorry for your loss. When my brother died his partner wore an outfit that he loved. It wasn't black and it didn't matter at all. If you want black then Next/M&S have lots of petite dresses and jackets at reasonable prices.

I'm so sorry. No one will care about what you wear only about you. But in the interest of offering practical help if you are comfortable in a dress go for a simple navy blue dress

sorry for your loss

agree with PP, if there is an outfit he liked on you I'd wear that. doesn't matter if it is black or not. Nobody will care or judge you.

The last funeral I went to, I ended up wearing a snuggly cardigan over a dress, rather than the blazer I had bought. I'm quite a tactile person and being able to wrap myself up in it was quite comforting. I'd wear whatever you want, but maybe add something soft or comforting like a scarf or jumper?

Would you consider doing a free personal shopper experience somewhere like Debenhams?
I had to choose a wedding outfit for a family wedding not long after my son died. I wasn't capable of doing it myself.
The lady was so helpful and kind.
You go into a private room, she brings coffee, sits down and tslks to you about colours and styles then brings a rail full of clothes to you.

For my son's funeral I wore a simple dress that he would have liked.
We encouraged everyone to wear colourful clothes as he liked bright things.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Nothing not to contribute clotheswise but just wanted to say I’m so sorry for your loss

I am very sorry for your loss.
I would just go into either a Next or a Jigsaw depending on your budget, and ask for a navy or black shift dress and matching jacket. I did this for my father's funeral as I simply couldn't face any decision- they just brought me what they had, found matching court shoes and sold it to me.

Sorry for your loss.

Why don’t you wear an outfit that he liked, or something that reminds you of a happy memory you shared together?

Sorry for your loss.

Don’t wear black unless it suits you. Wear something comfortable and add a coat for the time you may be outside or cold. I couldn’t tell you what anyone wore to my husband’s funeral.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. I wore a navy dress to my dads funeral and a cream coat over grey trousers and a black jumper for my mums. Comfort and warmth are the most important thing. It will be a long stressful day of standing at the service and then standing talking to people who come, so comfy shoes are a must. Clean, smart and comfortable are the only criteria. Certainly, do not stress yourself with a days shopping if you don't feel able.

So sorry for your loss

For my mum's funeral last year, I wore a simple black, knee length shift dress with bright yellow shoes, black pashmina, and my yellow Marie Curie daffodil as she died at the hospice.

Wear something you will feel comfortable in, the last thing you need to worry about is how you feel in your outfit

Sorry for your loss

I am thinking the same as others - wear something that you DP liked you wearing or something that reminds you of a happy memory

The most important thing is that your clothes and shoes are comfortable. It will be a stressful day so think your comfort is important

Lots of people wear bright and colourful clothes for funerals nowadays

When my parents died I worse a dress from The Row very similar to this

I am sorry for your loss. I hope sharing memories at his funeral will bring you some comfort.

Something black, weather appropriate, nothing skin tight or flesh flashing and flat-ish, sensible shoes as you'll be on your feet for most of the day.

I have a black dress from winser london which I wear to funerals. I bought mine online but I think it is stocked in John Lewis.

I am sorry for your loss.

John Lewis has a number of Winser London dresses, including some black ones, reduced at the moment. You can also get them delivered to your local Waitrose the next afternoon for no charge.

I wore a black knee length dress with a black cardigan over the top. I just found something I had in my wardrobe as I couldn't face going shopping. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss.

Wear something comfortable that you feel comfortable in. If you’re avoiding somber colours, spread the word and allow others to follow your lead.

Thankyou for all your advice.
I fell into John Lewis where I was helped by a very kind assistant. I came away with a simple navy dress that I know he would have loved on me. :)

So pleased you managed to get something you like. Best wishes for the funeral and afterwards.

That sounds lovely, best wishes for the funeral

Well done you
