Help. I sadly have a funeral to go to, and need to be quite formally dressed. You'd think black would be easy but I can't find anything I like :( and that fits the bill. I don't know if I'm being too fussy! I am over thinking, this is long, so bear with...
• I would love a dress (midi rather than maxi as I'd like to wear heels and would trip over a long hem 🤣)
• Could do skirt or trews but I'm am an apple (well, actually a sausage) and so skirts/tops make me either look like a tightly bound mattress or very matronly as I have biggish boobs.
The lovely lady who died always looked absolutely stunning and it would be a terrible dishonour to her if I turn up looking like I havent put any effort in.
Plus lots of my ex husbands friends and family are going that I havent seen in ages and whilst he, his new partner and I genuinely get on great, I have put on so much weight since we split that I need to pull something half decent out of the bag or risk hiding in the corner during the wake and getting lots of sympathetic looks at my life having taken such a drastic nosedive since they last saw me. (It hasn't!)
I'm a size 18-20, 5ft7, it has to be black and I am shitting myself at not being able to find anything and her family thinking I just haven't bothered.
Budget up to £150. Has anyone seen anything ANYWHERE? Or tell me whether I should just wear a black sack and scuttle off before the wake? (Not actually an option, she was my ex mil and very much loved)
