Boohoo must go to VERY different funerals to me...

[Hidingthegoodchocolate]

Looking for something to wear to a funeral, and found a page on boohoo specifically titled Funeral, that said they had selected these items to help you feel strong on a difficult day. Either things have changed quite a bit since I last attended one, or they might want to tweak their algorithm...

My DD worked in Primark.

One day a woman came in, returning size 12 black pleather leggings. She was a generous 16. Apparently the leggings were poor quality because they'd split down the backside seam the first time she wore them.

She told DD it was doubly embarrassing as it happened at a funeral 😮

But pleather leggings are still better than the bikini/see through dress combo.

With exception of the see through dress and a few that I think are a bit on the short side the rest all look OK.

Well obviously the dressing gown goes over the sheer dress for the church and burial, then whip it off for the wake.

I love that the photo was blurred as sensitive content. However will we cope with a woman in a transparent dress with a bikini underneath.

It would make a funeral more interesting I suppose. 😂

This thread has given me the giggles on public transport.

agree. very inappropriate

🤣

I quite fancy a beach funeral now. Mourners to dig a hasty moat around my grave then a distracting sandcastle contest instead of the baked meats.

The last funeral I went to the funeral immediately after it had some very revealing outfits being worn. It was for a grandma and clearly her 20 something grandchildren were in the seethrough dress vibe. It was like a Love Island casting both men and women. They looked glorious!

🤣🤣

Well its clearly for a rapper’s funeral.

It’s the one with the big stars on it that’s sending me 🤣

Anything black basically.

🤣🤣 I started scrolling thinking they looked fine to me and then got to the see through dress. To be fair that does say beachwear. They’ve just filtered on anything black.

I wish Ikea would start selling coffins.
They cost a fortune, and it’s so unnecessary in my opinion.

Obviously I understand that it is important to many others.

This made me smile.

Well, thanks for making me laugh, which is a tough job today

Is it Boohoo trying to make money out of a joke? Pretty tasteless if so.

some are ok, most are inappropriate as more “going out” dresses than for a somber occasion

YABU to even be looking on such a shite website! Didn't Joe Lycett call it PooHoo after they sent him underwear with dodgy poo and period stains on them 🤢

Taken together, that selection does have ‘Mafia funeral of late Apprentice candidate’ vibes. Maybe it’s the way they’re standing?

my family are very casual but if anyone wore anything like that to my funeral I’d be haunting them forever 🤣 One is a literal dressing gown!

This one is my personal favourite

Michael Hutchense funeral vibe

Maybe you’re supposed to wear the dressing gown over the dress? Is the bloke wearing a dressing underneath? Hard to know whether to put heels or slippers with that ensemble?

You could use it afterwards for parties & clubbing 🤔
