I know it is sombre but I think very smart to have capsules ready and not have the additional stress of last minute shopping, and then having to settle. And, dresses can be such a beast to find. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-to-happy-for-a-funeral#post-926927 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:26:18 +0000 Anonymous 926927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's a good choice. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-to-happy-for-a-funeral#post-926925 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:19:40 +0000 Parsley 926925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No, that's perfectly appropriate.<br />I don't think anyone expects you to wear all solid black any more.<br />As everybody has said, add conservative accessories and you're all set. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-to-happy-for-a-funeral#post-926914 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:54:18 +0000 Ingunn 926914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's very appropriate.

A black purse and black court pumps and you'd be fine.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-to-happy-for-a-funeral#post-926887 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:23:55 +0000 unfrumped 926887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dress looks fine because the dots are smaller and it reads more like a neutral or small print. I think the key is in the accessories--move away from the party look, so, less of the strappy sandal &amp; "fun" jewelry look for a funeral, but the dress itself could be really fun-upped for other occasions. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-to-happy-for-a-funeral#post-926883 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:20:25 +0000 Anonymous 926883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks fine to me. Thumbs up! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-to-happy-for-a-funeral#post-926854 Tue, 07 May 2013 16:43:37 +0000 rachylou 926854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think they're too happy.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-to-happy-for-a-funeral#post-926852 Tue, 07 May 2013 16:36:22 +0000 Peri 926852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It feels like a bad thing to plan ahead for, but last summer I had several funerals come up and didn't really have something good to wear. That's not the kind of last minute shopping I want to be doing, so I'm thinking of getting something to be prepared. And yet not so formal that I have no other use for it.</p> <p>So here's this dress I like:</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-Apparel/AT-Dresses/Mini-Dot-Print-Twist-Wrap-Jersey-Dress/308108?colorExplode=false&#038;skuId=13566258&#038;catid=cata000012&#038;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&#038;defaultColor=6600" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/p.....Color=6600</a></p> <p>In person the polka dots are more obvious than they look online. But still, they are small and the overall effect is black. Is it too happy? Polka dots always seem happy. </p>
