So one woman was left with a huge dilemma when she thought she'd decided on the ideal frock – only for her husband to tell her it was "too much".
The woman headed to Mumsnet for advice, sharing a photo of the frilly black ASOS mini.
The piece has long sleeves, a V-neck and ruffle detailing along the hems and although it's fairly short on the model, the poster explained that it's a little longer on her.
She wrote: "I already have this dress and have a funeral next week.
"I intend to wear it with black tights and black ankle boots with a small heel. Also I am five foot tall so it is practically knee-length on me."

She added: "I thought it was perfect but [husband] seems to think it's 'too much'. So would I be unreasonable to wear it?"
The post was met with mixed responses, with some feeling that the dress may be a little too risqué for a sombre occasion.
One person wrote: "It is a bit short for a funeral to be honest. Do you have a pair of black jeans or trousers you could wear underneath? That would be more suitable than tights.
"Also, could you wear a vest or crew neck T-shirt underneath? If not then perhaps a brooch at the top of the neckline to close it?"
Another commented: "Hmm, I don't really think it's suitable funeral attire either. It's the sort of style I'd wear on a night out."
However, others couldn't see a problem with it.
Messages included: "Definitely fine," and: "Honestly, you will look suitably dressed. As far as I'm aware there's no law against showing a little bit of flesh!"
Do you think the dress is suitable for a funeral? Or will it raise eyebrows?
Meanwhile, this woman's first date turned out to be his gran's FUNERAL… and she stayed for the entire service as the guy sobbed.
