Wait, one more thing
What does a 2-year-old wear to a funeral? Black dress with white turtleneck and tights and black shoes sound okay? I seem to remember my mother used to think it was inappropriate for children to wear black to funerals, so when I attended funerals (even in high school) I used to wear muted colors but not black. But my husband's family is old school working-class Italian Catholic, so I'm thinking super traditional might be the way to go here. Thoughts?

Oh, wow, I don't know. I'm thinking blending in with the crowd is probably best. If you have a black dress I wouldn't hestitate to put her in it, but I wouldn't go out and buy one especially.
I try to not wear black to Jewish funerals, but that is my own craziness (black to a funeral *not* a Jewish cultural thing, therefore I am really with the grain instead of against it).
So sorry you are having to think about this; please don't worry!
I think whatever you want her to wear is okay...no one should critic what she wears. I wouldn't worry too much :-)
Like OneTiredEma, I'd go with things that blend in, if she goes to the funeral.
When my grandmother died, my parents chose not to take us (not sure why, I was 5-1/2 at the time and completely understood what had happened). I think that can also be an option, if there is someone who could care for her.
I'm so sorry you're facing a funeral.
I wouldn't worry too much about what BG wears. At my grandpa's funeral recently I wore black pants and a bright pink top. TBB didn't go (stayed home with grandad), I can't remember what TTG wore, and my 1 year old nephew was there, I think in green.
Was there a favourite outfit or colour that your MIL liked to see BG in? If so I'd go with that.
I had a family member die when Nora was under one, so I didn't take her. I'm not sure if I would take her now but that's as much because I cry like crazy at funerals. I think the outfit sounds fine. I hope no one cares either way. I'm so sorry you have to worry about this.
Jewish, so this whole "black to a funeral" concept is a little foreign to me, but I'd say anything muted and not-jeans is okay.
I am sorry to hear that things have not gotten any better.... ((hugs)) to you and your family,
...and I am sure that no matter waht bat girl wears she will be let into the funeral ;)
Just wanted to say hi and hope you're doing well!
