Can I wear this to a funeral ?

Funeral on Wednesday and skint. I have this dress and boots and would get some tights but not sure it’s appropriate.

i also have black skinnies but I tried them on with these boots and felt very dated ( and tight )

if I were to wear this dress again , casual, (not for a funeral) what would be the best footwear to go with it other than trainers ?

I would say yes, with black tights and do you have a black coat?

whattodo2019 · 09/12/2022 11:00

Yes this is perfect. You could wear boots or heels with it and nude or black tights.
Do you have a long black coat or tan?

MarshaMelrose · 09/12/2022 11:00

This is fine. With a dark jacket or coat.

DeFacto · 09/12/2022 11:00

I think that's absolutely fine and appropriate.

(Cute dog BTW).

StrikeandRobin · 09/12/2022 11:00

That will be fine with dark tights/coat imo.

Not sure on the casual footwear issue, I’m no good at that, I just live in fit flops or trainers in warmer weather.

MarshaMelrose · 09/12/2022 11:01

Cute dog by the way. Take him and no one would care what you're wearing. 😍

Topseyt123 · 09/12/2022 11:02

Absolutely fine. Add a dark coat or blazer and it will be great.

Fenella123 · 09/12/2022 11:03

Looks fine for the funerals I've been to! Which bit of it were you worried about?

mondaytosunday · 09/12/2022 11:07

It's fine. Wear with black shoes or boots afterwards.
A friend wore a black shift dress and fuchsia pink tights to my fathers funeral - he would have loved it!

MerryChristmasToYou · 09/12/2022 12:37

Did you make it?
It looks fine, just add a dark coat and tights.

Elasticatedwaist · 09/12/2022 12:39

Thanks everyone. I was wondering about the polka dots on it and the boots have heels, not ideal for me. These are boots I bought years ago and never wore. I just stick to flats these days normally.
only coat I have is a dark green wool one.

I’ll wear the dress then , Thankyou.
the dog is Alfie, my shadow and chief cheerer uppererer 😃

It will be perfect with black tights and your dark green coat.

FourChimneys · 09/12/2022 12:49

Perfect outfit. I don't think I've been to a funeral for years where everyone was in sombre black. You will probably find a whole range of styles and colours when you get there.

WhenDovesFly · 09/12/2022 12:57

The dress is ideal OP, as will be the dark green coat. It's freezing weather at the moment and I think most people understand that a lot of people won't have a black coat or jacket in their wardrobe.

Alfie is adorable!

MarshaMelrose · 09/12/2022 13:26

Woo hoo for Alfie. 🥳🥳🥳

Vohgue · 09/12/2022 13:29

You look great, perfect for a funeral

Motorina · 09/12/2022 16:13

Totally fine. Black flats would be fine, too, if you'd be more comfortable than in heels.

LlynTegid · 09/12/2022 18:24

Totally fine. Sorry to read of your bereavement.

Love the dog incidentally and thank you for the second photo.
