Not sure if you are going for that or not.<br /><br />I am glad the dress worked for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-914290 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:41:21 +0000 Suz 914290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, that sounds good. But no need for the accessories if you do not already own the, I would say.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-914283 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:36:39 +0000 Marty 914283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for your&nbsp;thoughts and wishes. It means a lot to me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />This is such a wonderful and supportive community. Blessings to all of you. <br /><br />I bought the Talbots dress with the shrug. (Thank you, Thistle)&nbsp;<br /><br />It was suggested that I wear a basic strand of pearls and small earrings and a small gold watch with off black hose and a small, black comfortable heel. <br /><br />Do you all concour?<br />Thank you again for your help. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-913039 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:52:56 +0000 jenanded 913039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ wishes Marty.

We wish your family strength through this tough time.&nbsp;<br /><br />Sorry that I was unable to attend to your question yesterday. But Thistle's suggestion is lovely. Add a cropped cardigan if you need to cover up.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912676 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 00:12:00 +0000 anne 912676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Marty, that is a great dress Thistle has picked out. I have a dress in a similar style and wore it a lot last summer, so you'll find it versatile for other uses too, and you can add cardigans etc to vary the look.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912638 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 23:20:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 912638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So sad Marty - my sympathies. Don't forget to&nbsp;look after yourself. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912580 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:57:17 +0000 Eliza 912580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry for your family's circumstances and best to you.&nbsp;<br /><br />Great idea, Thistle. I was just going to suggest Talbots, as their clothes come in a variety of styles that accommodate different shapes and taste. &nbsp;Also, they try to be helpful via phone if needed last I knew.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912383 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:13:32 +0000 Marty 912383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, all of you. I appreciate your support.<br />Thistle, this is perfect. I wouldn't have found this without you. And it is a dress I can keep and use. <br />Thank you again.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912296 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:11:00 +0000 Thistle 912296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am so very sorry. It is always so very hard to lose a loved one.<br /><br />Here is a dress I would recommend: <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi30543&amp;rootCategory=cat70008&amp;catId=cat80018&amp;sortKey=Default&amp;section=Regular&amp;conceptIdUnderSale=cat70008" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....8;catId=ca</a><br /><br />It flares, so your different size bottom than top won't matter. The flare will also make it cooler for the south. It comes in black, and it looks like the black is actually on sale. I would top it with a black cardi or shrug. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912292 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:07:02 +0000 Pink 912292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm sorry, No, I don't have any advise. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912229 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:55:14 +0000 Suz 912229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So very sorry to hear this news. I do not have dress recommendations but I hope someone will chime in shortly.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912222 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:47:48 +0000 anne 912222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Marty I am so sorry about this sad time in your life. I am in Australia and don't know US brands well enough, but I hope someone will chime in soon with some recommendations<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-help-neededfuneral-clothes#post-912201 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:37:50 +0000 Marty 912201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Angie,<br />Sad times for my family. My father is in hospice and the doctor's have given him a couple of weeks to live. My heart is broken but we have had him for 96 years and I know it is time.&nbsp;The funeral is in the south and I&nbsp;want to wear a black&nbsp;dress but can't find anything suitable.&nbsp;I have an hourglass curvy&nbsp;body type and right now am more in the size 16 (bottom) and 12-14 (top) range. <br />Can you help me? I never go wrong with your advice. <br /><br />PS. I was going to go with Editor pants and a black jacket but I am afraid that the pants being a 14 won't work right now. I am more a 16 at the moment. <br /><b>You are an angel!</b><br />&nbsp;Thank you.<br />Marty Bledsoe<br />
