Dear Daughter died 2019. For the funeral and as per her wishes I bought an outfit I considered she would approve of. DH died last week and his wishes basically the same as DD. The outfit was for me quite expensive and has not been worn since. Would it be considered insensitive to wear the exact same out to DHs funeral.

Wear whatever makes you comfortable at this most difficult time and take care of yourself.?

I am so sorry for your loss. I agree with everyone here, you must wear the same outfit ,I think it is a most appropriate thing to do. It will also relieve you of the task of searching for a new outfit - please don't spend any time thinking about this . You have an outfit you are comfortable in so do wear it again.

I am sorry for your loss, both daughter and husband.

The last thing anyone is thinking about a funeral is what you are wearing. I have never seen funerals as being an event you buy new clothes for, unless you have nothing appropriate.

You have suffered two severe losses.
If both DD and DH liked the outfit, it is a tribute to them to wear it.
Quite often, when a member of our club dies, when we attend, a club sweater is worn, as a tribute from the other club members.
It is means of showing that their memory and pleasures are honoured.
