I will need a dress for a funeral

A very close relative is very ill. He has made his funeral plans- everything but the date. I will move Heaven abd high water to get there. We expect this to be on the next month. I, and this relative, are at peace with this.

It will be a funeral where black clothing is expected. I do not really wear black. I have one pair of “work” black culottes in my wardrobe, which are thick fabric - too thick for summer. I don’t really like tailoring as I have a very long back waists on dress are always too high, waists on trousers too low and jackets/shirts always too short. But i’m not tall enough for Long Tall Sally!

I’d like a semi structuredvshirt dress type of thing, black. A white pattern would be nice. I’m size 14/16; 5’8”, fair hair/blue eyes. Don’t wear heels. Don’t have any either. Hate florals.

Navy is fine. I wore navy to my DF's funeral. It's a weird thing having to shop for a funeral or decide what to wear. Flowers

Navy or charcoal would be just fine. Charcoal with black shoes, handbag etc would be very smart.
