DH just declared surprise at my plan to wear black Jeggings and a blouse to MILs funerals and thinks I should wear 'a nice dress' as he is wearing a suit and thinks we'll look mismatched Hmm can anyone help me find something? Funeral is Tuesday so low on time. I'm 31, size 16 and still carrying a 'mum tum' from having dd 6 months ago. 5'7 but more of a long body than long legs. I want a smartish black dress but not too OTT as I'm a jeans and trainers person usually. Will be wearing flat shoes. Budget max £50 but ideally less.

Just get a plain black wrap style dress and wear with black tights and maybe boots if it's cold or flats.

This is nice

Either of those dresses are fine with thick black tights, the ballet flats and cardigan in the case of the open shoulder dress. I don't think the first one is too short if you have thick tights on. If the weather is very hot you might be too hot in the tights?

I got a black blazer in tk Maxx many moons ago, it has seen me through lots of occasions over a top and trousers, and even dark jeans still look quite dressed up with it. I don't like wearing heels really. I'm all about being comfortable!
