Dress for a funeral

5 replies

Chanel05 · 15/05/2023 20:53

A close relative has passed away and their funeral will be held at the start of June, so I'm thinking it'll be warm.

Looking for suggestions of what I could wear? I'm a size 10 but also breastfeeding. Budget of up to £50.

My usual clothes aren't suitable for bf access.

I'm sorry for your loss op.

I had this for a similar situation and it was great. amzn.eu/d/5zxewSr

When I was in the same situation (admittedly a long time ago) I wore tailored, fairly officey looking trousers (but with forgiving elasticated waist) and shirt, a cardigan around my shoulders for additional cover, and flat shoes. Dark colours but not black. I'm very sorry for your loss and hope everything goes as well as expected.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
I think the idea of wearing black trousers, a shirt and a dark jacket/cardigan is a good idea.

This dress is perfect and would be a bit cooler if it’s hot/you could wear it with a cardigan if it’s not (and it’s specifically designed for breastfeeding).
It’s a little bit over budget (£65) but I thought I’d send you the link in case your budget is a bit flexible and you just want something that’s easy and doesn’t require much thought.

Sorry op, I've just noticed you said you wanted a dress. Blush
I'm not too clued up on what's around at the moment. Shirt dress maybe? Hopefully someone else will be along to advise soon.

Thanks all.

During my night feed wisdom, I remembered Vinted! Found a couple that looked ideal for bf.
