funeral outfit help

My mother in law passed away on Saturday (DH and I were there when she took her final breath) and her wake is on Wednesday, service on Thursday.

I brought 2 pair of dress pants and 2 sweaters.  A lot of people that are going Wed night are also going on Thursday.  The one sweater is a bit tight around the back (soft blue color).  I can either deal with that sweater or wear the other sweater twice (soft salmon color).

 WWYD?

 My other option is to go buy another sweater but when I looked yesterday found nothing I liked.  The first pair of dress pants are a charcol black/grey and the other is a brown plaid w/ salmon in it. 

Re: funeral outfit help

  • i'm sorry about your MIL :( good thoughts to you, DH, & DH's family. 

    i would probably go see about a darker colored sweater or maybe even a black or gray dress. i doubt anyone will notice if you wear the same sweater twice though. i would just want to be as comfortable.

  • I'm so sorry to hear of her passing but glad it happened surrounded by those that loved her.

    Ditto pp. I know it's a pain to run around shopping right now but I'd probably try to find a black or grey skirt/dress or a top I felt more comfortable in that made sense for the occasion.

    I'm sorry too.

    Ditty cheeky though.  You could even wear a button down or something you already have instead of going back out.

  • I am so sorry to hear about her passing, but am grateful she was surrounded my loved ones.  Agree with previous posters that I would try to get something darker.
  • I'm sorry for your loss- T&P your way.
  • I'm so sorry for your loss.

    As for funeral clothes, I'd feel more comfortable in dark/black as I'd less likely stick out than with a light colored sweater.
