Classic black dress needed for funeral

4 replies

I’ve put on weight over the last 6 months and only a small section of my wardrobe fits. I want to lose weight but it’s not going to happen in time for a family funeral so I need to order something in a size 14. I’m curvy so it needs shape or I look even bigger - boobs are 34GG and hips are wide. I usually go for fit and flare style, not too short.

My go to is usually Next or Phase Eight (usually sale). Ideally lined.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Are you sure that you need a black dress? Funeral attire seems to be getting a little more relaxed, especially in the summer.

@Katrinawaves not sure it's available in a 14? Nice dress tho.

@Katrina that’s nice but not in my size. This seems to be the case for every dress I like.

@EeesandWhizz I definitely want classic, traditional attire - my grandmother a was 97 and very traditional in that way. I will also wear for work after with colourful shoes and accessories.
