Funeral attire- need help ASAP!

Moggins_2

Hi all,

It's my husbands auntys funeral on Thursday. We very rarely saw her so not that close but obviously we are there to support my mil and hubby's nan. I have absolutely nothing to wear for it in my wardrobe and can't get to any other shops before then other than Asda or tesco. I don't have black trousers or a black skirt or any kind of trousers actually other than jeans. I also don't have a black dress or any kind of blouse. I have a couple of black jumpers and I wondered if these would look acceptable with black skinny leg jeans (no rips or fades). We are short on money at the moment and I very rarely black so want something I could wear again. Going shopping in an hour or so so help needed ASAP if anyone can advise? Bear in mind Asda and tesco will have limited options and its too late to order off the Internet

Thanks in advance
Moggins

I think black jeans and top will be fine.

facebook selling groups locally to you? Ebay nearest to your search and ask if you can collect.

Pack of dye and something else you have in your wardrobe to dye?

Ask Friends of a similar size. If i friend asked me i wouldn't hesitate to help out.

Freecycle post a want.

Good luck with supermarket i am sure you will find something.

Personally, I would tell you M-I-l you have no black clothes, would she and nan mind very much if you just wore something else.
Not everyone is obsessed with some notion that you have to wear black in order to be respectful.
I was in a very similar situation to you a few years ago and had nothing in black and no chance to buy anything, even if I could have afforded to. Distant family welcomed me warmly and were not bothered by my wearing the only summer frock I owned, they were just thrilled I had travelled the long distance to attend.
My own family, including those in their 80's truly wouldn't care what people wore to any funeral of ours. We would just be grateful people were there.

It doesn't necessarily have to be black, dark colours will do. Have you got anything grey/navy/burgundy?

I would never wear jeans to a funeral, it comes across as disrespectful. Asda sell basic black trousers for less than £10.

If you order from Asda or Tesco clothing online (before a specific time,) you can collect in-store next day in the afternoon/eve.

Nothing grey navy or burgundy no and no trousers or skirts of appropriate length or dresses. I'm 24 so not had many funerals to attend and I'm
A stay at home mum who has lost weight so all the workwear I had is too big now to the point of falling down. No friends locally to ask to borrow anything and none that are same size further afield. Thank you for all suggestions so far,
Hoping for miracles in the supermarket

I didn't have anything to wear recently for my partners Nana's funeral as we were in a similar boat and not much spare at the time to buy anything new. In the end I wore a white peplum dress that had a black flower pattern on it that I wore to a friends wedding last year with thick black tights, a black blazer and heels.

If you really haven't got anything then asda sell black trousers for about £6. I wouldn't wear jeans to a funeral x

I'm sure you'll find a pair of black trousers useful for other occasions. Black, pencil skirts are quite fashionable too.

I bought a fab black dress from Sainsburys a week or so ago. It's a shift dress with a 60s feel, plain layer underneath with a top layer of kind of crocheted/lace circles? It looks great with Audrey Hepburn hair! I bought it on a 25% off day and it went down to £16.50.
