Please help me with a dress like this for a funeral

It is going to be FIL funeral in a couple of weeks, I'd really like a dress like this, but these are too ££££

Budget is around £75, can anybody find anything similar, or find one on Vinted! Or could I recreate a similar look with a skirt & top?

I just ordered a couple of dresses from Monsoon in the sale, they have some lovely things and at good prices. You should be able to find a little black midi length dress there.

There is a stunning v v similar belted dress on TU clothing in their sale for about £20 or less, absolutely gorgeous and looks much more expensive. Can't remember where exactly for link but go to site and search 'dresses' in sale.

Oh look at that Finery dress on TU! I wonder if it might be a bit low at the front, but looks like an excellent option!!

I've ordered it, thanks so much @NotFastButFurious

@PTSDBarbiegirl is that the one you meant too?

Don't forget that it will probably be freezing wherever the ceremony happens. If you're on a budget, I'd focus on a coat, if you haven't already got a suitable one.

Fortunately I have a nice black wrap coat, so hopefully I should be sorted!

The second outfit looks more elegant.

Finery dresses tend to look good in the photos but be poor quality fabric in person, in my experience. Also tend to run large.

The Finery dress has arrived, it's absolutely perfect, looks much more expensive and fits really nicely!
