At funerals, plain black clothing is worn to emphasize humility and equality
TAKE NOTE OF THE FABRIC When it comes to wearing a gown with a deep plunge, always keep the fabric in mind as it can completely flatter your features or make it work totally against you
Acceptable modern touches for strict dress codes: Tonal sparkle: Beading or sequins in the same color family as the dress adds glamour without being flashy Illusion panels: Sheer mesh with embroidery provides coverage that doesnt feel heavy Textured overlays: Lace over satin creates dimension and interest Strategic slits: If dress code allows, a modest slit to mid-thigh adds movement Back detail: Even with full coverage, buttons, lace-up details, or fabric draping adds visual interest Waist embellishment: Beaded belts, embroidered bands, or seam details define shape Modern sleeve styles: Cap sleeves, flutter sleeves, or fitted 3/4 sleeves feel more current than long set-in sleeves How to test if a detail is appropriate: Ask yourself: Is this detail adding elegance and formality, or is it trying to work around the dress code? If its the former, it works
