Funeral dress help

Looking for a black midi dress with 3/4 or full length sleeves suitable for a funeral.

I'm a 14 hourglass and petite height but can sometimes get away with a regular length.

I've tried looking but am so caught up in funeral arrangements I'm finding it all overwhelming.

This meets your needs, but if you won't wear the dress again it might be pricey

thistooshallpass that's exactly what I'm looking for. I can't see it on Debenhams site. Have you any idea on the brand?

@TwoHoots74 let me try to find it again x

Debenhams sale when I suggested it here was lots of sizes available but now only 8/10 but you might find it elsewhere?

How about this:

Or

https://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/twisted-waist-jersey-dress/sty-d1040

Not boat neck like the original (nor 3/4 sleeve, sorry) but might work.

Not sure sleeveless is appropriate for a funeral really. My partners family are quite traditional.

I like the style of the one below. Not sure there's too much skin exposed. Plus it's a little too expensive. Would love to find similar though

Knitted from boden? They have 20 black petite dresses. I’m short and busty and my funeral dress is a jersey boden dress.
