Do you wear a plain black or navy blue dress? Do you wear patterns? What's appropriate for a woman?
-
I usually strive for dark colors (like black) and business casual. Usually pumps.
However for my grandmas funeral she asked we all wear her favorite color purple
so we did.
-
I usually wear something dark and somewhat dressy. I also try to avoid wearing anything that shows too much skin.
-
Grey pants and a black knit top has been my go to funeral outfit.
-
Black and modest.. I usually wear a black dress.
-
I wear a black dress and heels usually.
-
I wear something black and modest that won't stand out but have noticed many other people wearing various dark colors other than black.
-
Definitely modest.
But I don't stick to black. I think any color is just fine, as long as it's tasteful. If I think it's too bold, I'll wear a cardi with it. For my grandpa's, I wore a teal dress with black heels and a black belt. It toned it down, but I didn't look like I belonged in the Adaams family.
-
I have a go-to black funeral dress. I have worn black pants and a deep plum colored sweater before when it was really cold. I think anything dark colored and conservative is appropriate.
-
I wore a dark blue dress with a tan cardigan
-
Modest but I have worn a purple dress since it was my Aunts favorite color. The whole family wore purple.
-
Black dress or pants and top.
Depending on the culture white is a appropriate.
-
Modest. I don't stick to black but most of my clothes ARE black so that's usually what I wear.
Last funeral I went to I wore a black summer dress with heels.
The one before that I wore black slacks and a green top with flats.
-
I try to wear black/grey, and slight patterns are ok. Basically try to keep the clothes as boring as possible.
-
I wear dark colors and try to stick to subdued patterns or solids. I think the last funeral I went to, I wore a knee-length dark blue dress and flats.
Don't forget sunscreen if you are going to the grave-side service. I ended up pretty sunburned at one I was at last summer.
-
Dark and modest: no above the knee skirts/dresses, no bare shoulders, no girls on display. I usually wear a black dress and a cardigan, heels and pearls.
-
Dark colors, dressy/business casual, modest (no cleavage showing, not too tight).
-
Dark, business casual!
-
@mediagirl: in your specific case I would do a all black dress with black pumps. I think that is appropriate for immediate family.
-
Like others have said, dark and modest.
-
I have a black, knee-length dress that I wear.
-
Business casual and dark. I wouldn't wear jeans, shorts, tank tops, etc.
-
Dark colored, dressy and modest.

I can say what is not appropriate for a woman...at a recent funeral I saw a mom wearing a black dress with a bubble hem that came up all the way to her butt. It was clearly meant to be worn with leggings which she skipped, and it was a breezy day, so as she did her reading we saw a lot more than we needed to.
Which is why modest is important...
-
Dark, subdued colours. Nothing at all flashy that could draw attention to myself.
-
Dark and dressy. Last week (for DH's grandmother's funeral) I wore a black skirt suit with a cream blouse and pumps. I saw plenty of prints on shirts but I prefer either subtle prints or no prints.
-
Gray, navy, chocolate brown.
-
Anything I would wear to church. No specific colors.
-
It is different where I live. We do not worry about darker colours but modest is a definite must.
so we did.
