Memorial service attire

[Anonymous]

Is it okay to wear florals if the tones are muted and not bright?
What about polka dots? If say black overall with white dots (small ones, not large)
Any other guidance appreciated. I have to dress myself and two teenage girls and the death was a shock.

I don’t think patterns are appropriate. I do think any dark color is fine (navy, gray, plum, burgundy) is okay though.

Any of that is fine. No one will judge. I am sorry for your loss.

Dark solid colors.

For our families, it's strictly black.

I got my 13 year old DD two dresses for services she attended this summer, one dark grey and one navy. Both with sleeves, higher necklines, below the knee, and not tight. A skintight black mini dress isn’t appropriate for a memorial service, either.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Wear what you have. You don't need to be dress shopping to appease others at a time like this. I'm sorry for your loss.
