If I love this dress what else would I love?

I need a dress for a funeral this week, I live this dress but can’t get it as my sister has it-and she’ll be going to the same funeral-what else would I like?
V early 50s, Size 14, 5’8”, blonde and fortunately proportionate body shape!

I prefer navy to black, but it doesn’t HAVE to be solid colour…please help…budget up to about £80

And sorry for your loss

Also came on to say Dancing Leopard. I’ve got one almost identical to your photo but that was from a couple of years ago. How about this one?

I bought a black merino wool sweater dress for my Dads funeral and already had a lovely Karen Millen coat in black
I wear the coat frequently but the dress always stays in my mind as a ‘funeral’ dress so wouldn’t wear it elsewhere
Attended a funeral recently but it was a really hot day so wore a black linen shirt dress from jaeger

Have you asked your sister if she’ll actually be wearing hers to the funeral? If not go for it, or buy it in the plain black (or navy as is your personal preference)

If you Google shirt dress uk there are lots that might appeal. I'd be tempted to go for navy rather than black patterned.

That’s a really nice one, it’s out of stock in a 14 but I could potentially get away with a 12, so thank you

She’s definitely wearing it-which is a bit rude of her when I want it 😂
