Smart black summer dress suggestions

I am sadly going to a very traditional funeral in a few weeks time so need something appropriate to wear. I saw a lovely dress in Next that was black with a gold pattern but I am not sure if it had too much gold on.

If anyone could suggest a suitable dress I would be grateful.

Dark coloured
Below the knee
Fairly smart but still practical and light weight
Not too expensive

Thank you

I have bought a linen tiered dress at TK Maxx online recently...Klaus Dilkrath online . It has short sleeves though so don't know if that will suit your funeral style. (£30.00). Good quality linen. It's available in Navy and Black.

I recently bought this, which is very lightweight/flattering:

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will have a look online. I have found a black jumpsuit in Marks and Spencer's outlet store which I will keep as a back up.

I'm not sure if this fits your brief, but the Boden Florrie dress is simple and flattering :

I have it in navy, and although I'm 5' 3" I bought the long length (very conservative work place).

@GiltEdges just wanted to say I bought the dress you recommended and it was perfect. Even though it was an incredibly hot day I still felt comfortable. Thank you
