I'm going to my grandpa's memorial service this Saturday and I'm having trouble figuring out what to wear. It's been a long time since I've been to one. My family is not close, so I can't ask them. Do you think this dress is appropriate (color wise)? I plan on wearing a black sweater over it with black shoes.
Side note: this dress looks much better on me than on the hanger.
ETA: It looks a little darker in person than in this photo.

So sorry again for your loss and yes, I believe it is absolutely appropriate! Especially with the mentioned accessories. This time of year I would wear dark pantyhose as well
I usually go with anything dark to these things. Black isn't mandatory. ((hugs)) I think that dress will be just fine for the occasion. I have a dark grey dress I wear to things like this.

I think that dress looks wonderful. The only concern I would have is the length. But not knowing how tall/leggy you are, and being a bad judge from looking at it only on the hangar, I think it looks appropriate. I think what is more important than the color is if it is respectable, and that looks respectable.
I recently went to a memorial service and was shocked at what some people wore. Skin tight dresses, one woman had on a bright pink dress that barely covered her hoo-ha. I'm not sure how she was able to sit down in it!
Well, here we get a LOT of people who show up to funerals (and also weddings) in blue jeans, tshirts, or even shorts. It's actually considered ok to most here. However I am not one of them. I generally wear a navy blue dress, or a simple black skirt and shirt to funerals so i think your dress is very appropriate. I'm sorry about your grandfather. ((Hugs))

Thanks everyone. I bought the dress and then started second guessing myself. As for the length, it hits about 1-2 in. above my knee. It was a lot harder to find an appropriate black dress than I thought it would be.

I think your dress is definitely appropriate, especially since you are going to wear a black sweater over it. I always wear dark colors if I don't have any black options.
