please help.
I have DH's grandma's funeral this week, and am in a slight panic about clothes for the elder two girls and me.
there is no 'dress code', just something in keeping with the sombre mood, but for my two elder girls, they have nothing.
I don;t really think they need to wear black, but smart is needed obviously......but.....also something they will and can wear again.
they are not dress wearing girls, both prefer jeans or dancing type clothing. the last smart thing they both had was for a wedding and was very trendy.....not suitable now......and those outfits were hard enough to find.
I don;t want to traipse around, and I don;t want to take them either (I know sizes etc to fit so they won;t need to try on!).
please can you help track something down and tell me the bast places to try......budget is not huge, about £50 for them both maximum please.
so.....no dresses, no white and navy in one outfit (school colours....they won;t wear it again), and nothing that will look like waitresses or as tho they are in a type of school uniform.
DD1 is in age 13 clothes, or if poss, sz4 adult.
DD2 is in age 11 clothes.
now me.........help.......all my stuff that would be ok is in sz 10 or 12....I am now an 8 or 6 depending on shop. I am 5ft 4 too, so don;t carry loong well.
I cannot wear heels anymore either, so even if the clothes fit, I couldn;t wear them as most of my old stuff was long to go over heels.....obviously now would drown me!!!
budget of £50 - £100....I have some ballet style flats in black already, or more shoes will be needed too if they don;t go.
I know that this may seem trivial, stressing about clothing for a funeral......it should be easy....black! but I want to know that we are as turned out as grandma would have been and she was one very smart tidy lady who took great care in how she looked and was always commmenting on how we looked and how it made her so proud.
