Please advise funeral outfit

[footballcrazy11]

Please can you help as I have no sisters etc to ask for advice. Is this ok for My Mums funeral next week? I want to look my best for her but not sure if this is too much, I will remove the red flower
Thank you

I'm sorry to hear about your Mum, OP. That's a lovely dress, and I think that as you want to look your best for her, you should wear it.
I don't know, though, if it is still 'the done thing' to wear black tights with it, or whether skin tone tights would be okay these days.

I'm sorry about your Mum too. Your dress is beautiful, and the flower for your Mum is a lovely gesture.

When my Mum died, I wore all black for her funeral, but with a pale blue cashmere cardigan, the last present I'd received from her. I think on an occasion like that, you can wear what you like and what feels right for you.

Wishing you strength to get through it

I wasnt going to wear tights to be honest but may have to rethink that then. The dress would normally be worn with a petticoat would that be too much (hidden one) its just I dont think the dress will have the same shape without it.

Thanks for the replies so far x

It’s a perfect outfit x

That is a lovely outfit op. I am so sorry you have lost your Mum. I asked for advice on here Re outfit when my Mum died, it is so hard to think straight while shellshocked with grief and planning a funeral.
You do need tights I think. Bare legs look too casual for a funeral. Closed toe shoes ( no sandals ). A petticoat underneath that doesn’t poke below the skirt is fine. If your Mum is being buried then remember that high heels and gravesides can be tricky, as the ground can be uneven or muddy, so you need heels that are not too high and not too thin, or flattish shoes. If she is being cremated then anything you can walk in is fine but you will spend much of the time afterwards on your feet, talking to people, so comfortable shoes help.

thank you all so much x

Hope the funeral goes well. I found the strength from somewhere to get through it, I hope you have lots of love around you to shore you up and carry you through. Try and plan something nice for yourself for a month or two later, that can be the hardest time as friends stop asking how you are, everyone else seems back to normal but your world has shifted. for you. Losing your Mum is such a huge life change.

Oh and you will look beautiful for your Mum in that dress, it is really pretty.
