While dress codes are generally on the decline, there are some occasions where rules still apply about what we can wear. There are certain expectations about how we’ll dress for work, for weddings, and, sadly, for funerals.
And perhaps it’s this last place that attendees are having the most trouble with, given how infrequently we go. Is black still the only colour allowed? How conservative does it need to be? Can I show my bare legs?
A woman facing this dilemma posted a photo of the dress she planned to wear to an upcoming funeral on parenting forum Mumsnet, hoping for some clarification. But commenters were divided on whether her dress was “appropriate” for a funeral or not.
The woman said she thought the dress was “perfect”, but her husband disagreed.
