is this dress appropriate?

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

for a funeral?, totally lost any idea of what is and isn't ok, dh's mum likes everyone to look nice so thought I would make a special effort for her. too short?

bump.

I think it is. It's not too short at all!

And the good thing is you'll be able to wear it again. T'is pretty.

I don't think it is right for a funeral, no. Maybe something a little longer and less frilly.

looks a bit frilly to me. simple is best for a funeral, IMO.

Its a nice dress, but I think something a little plainer would be more appropriate for a funeral, say something like this

I agree - it's pretty, but not really funeral wear. The dress clure linked to would be good, and wearable after.

Again is a nice dress - but abit summery / going out rather than funeral...although does depend on who funeral for and where it is etc as think there are no strict rules these days- alot of people don't wear black even. Personally I would go for something abit more structured.

Too short, too frilly and possibly too much cleavage? However, I would argue that almost anything can be changed to be appropriate - work with thick black tights, conservative shoes and a black jacket, it would probably be fine.

I wouldn't wear it to a funeral. I once wore something a bit inappropriate to an x bf's grandmother's funeral and I felt awful all day.

The second on is better.

No. Go for something safer. You'll feel more comfortable among all the suits.

Inappropriate imho and not very nice..too short and too much cleavage potential. And it is 100% viscose - it will feel horrible. Sorry.

Too frilly for a funeral, go for something plainer/simpler imo.
