Help please! I need a dress for a funeral ASAP

[Dreamqueen]

Style and beauty people, I need help finding a dress for a funeral. I've put on quite a bit of weight since the start of Covid and don't want to spend too much on a dress that I will hopefully not wear more than once.

I have started a diet and exercise regime but even with the strictest regime I can't lose the stone needed to fit into my regular funeral outfit.

I'm 5'2" and weigh approximately 11 stone at the moment. I'm looking for something midi or knee length that will disguise my current apple shaped belly. I'm 61 so something appropriate for my age with a budget of less than £100.I dont mind about what sleeves or neckline. I've had a quick look myself but as I haven't bought any clothes since the first lockdown, I got totally overwhelmed.

Please lovely people hit me up with your suggestions.

Thanks in advance

@Dreamqueen- I have this dress and it's flattering. It's thin material so you'll need thick tights at moment and maybe a thermal top underneath. Links below- hope they work.

As dress is drapey, should still work even if you lose weight and you'll be able to wear spring/summer minus tights/thermals. You will hopefully not need again, but useful to have an all-season dress just in case.

Black is dull...but I play safe at funerals.

M&S have loads of black or dark dresses that could work.

You can’t go wrong with a black wrap dress for a funeral

Not black but would be fine I think

Jaeger swing dress

I have been browsing at M&S and found this: https://www.marksandspencer.com/v-neck-knee-length-smock-dress/p/clp60529552?intid=mobileappppdpshare

If you think you will only wear the outfit once I would suggest trawling through the racks at your local charity shops. There's usually loads of little black dresses at this time of year.
Then spend £100 on something you'll wear more often.

Black jersey dress from Boden.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm going to order the polka dot one in two sizes to try on at home. I appreciate all the links.

I have this dress..I am your height and weight..its so flattering....size down though!

Are you sure you don’t have anything in your wardrobe already that you use to could put together a suitable outfit? Dark trousers or skirt and top with smart(ish) dark coat would be fine for most funerals, especially at this time of year.
