Collection: Funeral Dresses
A-line Dresses
A-line dresses are formal and can be considered appropriate for a funeral. These dresses are flattering to women with wider hips and shoulders because they give a balanced silhouette. They are also considered universally flattering and offer a blend between style and comfort. A-line dresses can create an illusion of an elongated and leaner body by highlighting your body and skimming over your hips and thighs. The fitted bodice can make your waist look smaller, while the flared skirt can help conceal flowy areas of your lower body. The dress doesn’t cling to your tummy, so it creates a balanced silhouette for all bodies. Choose the right color and fit to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.
Drop waist Dresses
Drop-waist dresses can be perfect for funerals. It is good to note that these dresses come in shorter hemlines, so if you plan on wearing one, choose one that is past knee-length to maintain modesty. These dresses have different colors and necklines that you can choose from. Choose a fabric that is appropriate for the weather and one that is soft and breathable to ensure you remain comfortable during the day. Drop waist dresses come in bodycon and flowy silhouettes, so choose the ideal one and consider your body shape. They can be accessorized and styled with belts, bags, sunglasses, and footwear of your choice.
Sheath Dresses
These types of dresses can also be worn to a funeral. These dresses should be conservative and modest to ensure they are appropriate for a funeral. Choose a sheath dress with dark colors, to match the event and avoid bright colors. They are easy to accessorize with bags, hats, glasses, and shoes. Additionally, choose a dress that matches the dress code and is respectful. Choose a sheath dress made from fabrics that are breathable, soft, and comfortable.
Shift Dresses
These types of dresses are perfect for a funeral because they are formal and conservative. Shift dresses have a flowy silhouette making them comfortable and easy to move in. The dresses should offer enough coverage and be of dark colors to qualify as an appropriate attire. Choose joes that will be comfortable all day and avoid flashy jewelry. These dresses can be layered when it's cold or worn down for the hot weather and still maintain their style.
