Is this okay to wear to a funeral - I would be wearing heels?

Just that really.

Are you going too wear a jacket with it?

No… it usually needs to be very conservative/modest.

No.

Bit slinky for any occasion other than a party. I don't think that's appropriate for a wedding let alone a funeral.

No, absolutely not. Too showy for a funeral. Not conservative enough. It is, however, a lovely dress, but not suitable for a funeral,

No

Oh no unless you were going to wear a fastened blazer/jacket/cardigan it is quite slinky isn't it ?

Thanks everyone - really struggling and did worry this was a-bit too much for a funeral.

No I would not wear that for a funeral. Unless I was wearing a coat that totally covered it. Slinky and off the shoulder? I am fairly relaxed but that’s not what I would wear.

I’ve been to a few funerals this year (sadly) and have mostly (apart from one which requested a specific and very appropriate outfit) worn either a long, plain, navy dress with navy coat or jacket, or plain tailored black trousers and a dark top (with coat or jacket). Surely you have black trousers and a coat @justmyluck1234

No, far too dressy. You don’t need to dress up - literally black trousers, a nice top, and a black coat. Just blend in.

You don't have to wear all black. Any smart outfit in a reasonably muted colour is fine.

No - sorry

Sorry for your loss too 💐

Oh crikey, no. It’s a nice enough dress for another occasion but not appropriate for a somber/mourning funeral. Sorry for your loss 💐

Sorry for your loss. This isn't an appropriate dress for a funeral.

Bare shoulders are a no I’d say, as is the silhouette. You’d maybe get away with it with a jacket, but you wouldn’t be able to take it off

The shape and length is fine, and before I clicked to see the whole photo I would have said yes. It's the off the shoulder part that's the problem.

But you could, as suggested, cover with a jacket as long as it stays on.

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s always difficult to know what to wear to funerals because you want to look smart but not sexy. Im a dress person and I’d wear this but with a longer jacket and I wouldn’t take it off. Unless you’re the mysterious mistress, in which case you should wear it with sunglasses.

Not if you're going to wear if off the shoulder, like the model.

I wore this to a funeral recently.

Black cardigan over the top, winter coat, boots (it was a very cold day!). I did find it hard to find a plain black, smart dress at this time of year, everything was very party focused.

With a jacket but not off the shoulder

I think people get far too screwed up about funeral outfits. Any dark or subdued outfit is ok. The only prohibitions are too sexy or casual sports clothes. I would wear it if you have a jacket or coat to wear over it, or maybe a scarf to fill up the gap.

Never wear heels if its a commital , if its this time of year - boots and socks - graveyards are freezing and muddy

No. It's winter.

I agree that there is no need to wear black to a funeral and no need to have a specific style of dress. But I think the off the shoulder nature of this one makes it not OK.

Like I and others have said – plain dark trousers, plain or low-key patterned top, dark coat, low boots, done.

Agree re heels actually – not a good idea. Even if it’s the crem, there's an awful lot of standing about at a funeral. Comfy shoes are the way.
