I don't know if it's still considered in bad taste...

But I'm gonna be at a funeral at 7/8 months pregnant and don't know where to find suitable clothes? Also, would it be considered too casual to attend in flat shoes? It'll probably be held in a church.

i was in new look yesterday (an out of town one that sells mat clothes) and they had a black dress that along with a cardi or jacket would do the jub and it was 25quid, flat shoes are a must and ive never knwn it to be in bad taiste to wear flatsat afuneral, ive been to many!!

 

[xolily]

leggings, flats and a smart casual tunic type top would be fine?

This dress with black tights and flats would be suitable for a funeral and it's really cheap.

I've never thought that wearing flat shoes would make it casual? i wore flats to a wedding at the weekend, just ballet pump type ones. Perfectly fine! Better than being uncomfy and wobbly in heels... I haven't worn heels since i was about 18 weeks cos i kept veering off to one side when i was trying to walk straight!
ASOS have some nice black dresses, some are on sale too

As doggy121 said, plain dress with a dark cardi or jacket, perfectly fine hun.

There's a black dress in the dorothy Perkins sale for
a tenner. Flat shoes absolutely fine too

Flat shoes are a must I would say, especially if it's a burial, cos then you don't sink into the grass!
You can get black mat trousers from matalan for 14quid, and they are really nice.
Sorry about your loss xx

I went to a funeral a couple of weeks ago and wore black trousers, a smart darkish top and my flip flops - I couldn't get my feet into anything else. It was in a Catholic church - the woman sat next to me was wearing flip flops too although she wasn't eight months pregnant!

I think attitudes have changed a lot now.

i just went for black trousers and short sleeved black/blue top; i figured people could see i was pregnant so wouldn't be too worried if my arms were bare etc!

 

[emyandpotato]

Thank you

I have just thought, I have a non-maternity knee length tea dress that will probably still fit. It's pretty much perfect except that it's black with little white dots, would it still be appropriate do you think?

 

[Lettuce]

Yup, will be fine- funerals are a lot more relaxed nowadays! Plus, you'll be obv pregnant, you should be comfy! xx

 

[natalieee]

Sounds fine - ive attended two funerals (my nans and my aunties) both last month so i was 7months, i wore a black dress with white peter pan collor black tights, smart cardigon and flat shoes! My aunties was in an Abby as it was a catholic funeral and no one seemed to notice, and at my nans the vicar shook my hand and i was worried what he would think as i wasnt wearing a ring and living in sin haha =p xx

 

[lollylou1]

They say it's open toe shoes that's bad taste but I think you being there is what people care more about not the shoes your wearing! Go in comfy trousers!

i went to my uncles funeral last week and i had to go in jeans and a black top with flat shoes, i explained to everyone before the day that i had no black clothes, at the funeral everyone was pleased i made the effort to go. i felt bad not being all in black but showing your respects is what matters the most.

 

[cyanidepill]

I think as long as people look presentable, the fact that they're at a funeral is enough x

 

[sw121]

People dress much more casually for funerals these days and it's even unusual for people to wear black. I went to my nan's funeral when I was 7 months preg and I wore a teal green dress with black shoes that had a one inch heal. I was by far one of the smartest dressed people there. Others were wearing jeans and cardigans.

 

[RaspberryK]

I don't even wear black to funerals, I went to one recently and wore a floaty top/dress, leggings and ballet pumps.
