Funeral clothing?

[Laura--x]

So my grandads funeral is next monday. I've never ever been to a funeral before, have no idea how they work or anything.

We're all on strict orders NOT to wear anything overly black or formal ( black suits ect), he wants people to wear what they feel comfortable in. All the men have been ordered to wear birmingham city football shirts lol.

I have no idea what to wear? my mum just said to go in my casual jeans and a top, but i can't turn up to a funeral in a pair of jeans and a top!

I was thinking maybe a dress or something? I really don't know what to wear?

Anyone got any ideas? Im not sure if i would of had the baby by then so im not buying the outfit untill thelast minute. If anyone has any suggestions of things that arn't too formal but not too everydayish either.. id really appreciate it!

Do you have anything you associate with your granddad hun? Maybe something you wore on a special occasion with him? x

Nope, nothing at all hun. Not that i can remember anyway, and if i did i highly doubt it would still fit x

The last funeral i went to we were told not to ware black or dark clothing but i too couldent bring myself to go in jeans so i wore my smart black trousers and a bright flowery pattern top.

I'd say smart trousers and a colourful top TBH - unless you would usually wear jeans or something - I think the suggestion is that you go as you, not a dressed up you?? If that makes sense?

I would say that a wrap dress would probably be suitable now and you'll probably be able to wear it after the birth too.

Something like this? https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_66156_1015966_-1

Or if you're not into dresses what about some linen trousers and a loose top?
