Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />I ended up going to thrift stores, and found some really good items:<br />a long charcoal cotton-knit sleeveless maxi-length shift with a matching shell button-up hoodie by Garnet Hill, which I wear with an extra-wide silver leather belt; and a long-sleeved black acrylic wool knit shift by Liz Claiborne.<br /><br />I have worn the shift/hoodie ensemble a lot already, even though I've not had any funerals to attend. <br /><br />I tried to find pictures to share here, but was not able to.Amy Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-27487030634849297862010-03-09T06:09:22.266-06:002010-03-09T06:09:22.266-06:00I have a black dress very similar to this one

But given the longer sleeves, it's likely to be on the clearance racks as spring comes through. The key is to find a dress that is both crisp and feminine. You might also find something cute and vintage at your local thrift store. It's definitely a garment worth having.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069136541832210309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-50645508536370234672010-03-08T23:34:00.956-06:002010-03-08T23:34:00.956-06:00I for one, while not likely to visit the Pope anyt...I for one, while not likely to visit the Pope anytime soon, have been looking (and looking) for an attractive black dress that would do double duty for Papal audiences and funerals.
