Help me find a funeral outfit.

Looked everywhere for a funeral outfit- for a family member who didn't want anyone to wear black.. I've been looking but everything I see is too casual or summery! I'm 5ft 8 at size 8! Help would be much appreciated!!

How about a nice pair of smart jeans, boots and a nice floaty top and blazer/jacket?

We refused to wear black at grans funeral and we celebrated her life and remembered her in bright colours.

The above covers all types of weather and her wishes - glam it up with some sparklies!

Sorry about the funeral, but go for it!

I’ve found that I don’t want to wear clothes again that have been to a funeral: or perfume. So I’d say choose something that you don’t mind setting aside.

Thank you both,... I have to admit I've never been to a funeral before so I don't know what the usual is- let alone without wearing the usual black! But I think you are right, I think I'd associate what I wore with being at the funeral..
