Can I kindly ask for some help finding an appropriate outfit for my father's funeral.
Im a size 20/22. Big all over but pronounced tummy and boobs. Prefer dresses. Not too expensive. Have around £100, but if I could get shoes too all the better (I live in fit flops and dms usually)
Many thanks

Sorry to hear your sad news. Will you have time to get a dress from eBay/vinted.. A poster was on here some time ago not wanting to spend a fortune because the person said they would always associate the dress with her Mum's funeral. If you wanted new I would be looking at Yours clothing, Matalan maybe M&S or Simply Be .Ah I hope the day goes by as quickly for you . Look after yourself with regards to grieving. I have a religious aunt and her advice is always think of the happy times you spent together. I hope you find something suitable for the sad event .I send flowers to you over the internet.

Browse the Hotter sale for shoes or sandals. They have wide fit if you need them. Sounds like you are used to comfort.

Bit over your price range, but would recommend, I have this and I'm a size 20 x

I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. My own dear Dad passed in May. I had only given birth the week before so I needed something to work with my postpartum body. I went for a black midi dress with cap sleeves and ruching on the belly. May I kindly suggest that you don't spend much on it. Mine was €35 and I've washed it and hung it in the spare room and I've not looked at it since. I'll never wear it again but eventually I'll sell it on Vinted.
