I have the funeral of my uncle next week but all my suitable clothes are winter clothes and as it's meant to be scorching can anyone help me find something I can reuse for other things. Budget is around 60. I am 5ft 9 and a 10/12

Sorry for your loss.
Do you know how formal it will be? Could you wear navy for example?
For now, I would look at Cos for simple loose but smart dresses in breathable fabrics like this:

I bought this recently as I have three funerals over the next few weeks.

I’m 5’7, size 12. It sat right below the knee for me. I put a black cami on underneath as the v-line went quite low but it looked nice. Wasn’t too warm at all.

I’m a teacher so I’ll keep it for work too but maybe need to give it a bit of colour with accessories or a coloured belt to make it less funeral-like!

I have been to 3 funerals recently and have noticed that fewer and fewer people wear black these days. I saw a lot of patterned dresses, just not in bright colours.
