if he asked for no formal dress why are you questioning this. Maybe if his colleagues are to wear Hawaiian shirts you should join in the theme and wear a Hawaiian dress. If that's not your scene then a summer dress go for it.
Obviously you brother did not want you to be worrying or sad when sending hI'm off.
From what you are saying he does not want a morbid send of with loads of tears as he welt that he was going to a better place.
You as his sister i am sure know just what he would be saying to this question if he was there so go with your dress and look stunning like he wants you to and cry if you need to I'm sure you will but through those tears give him a secret smile as there nothing more beautiful that a smile of hope in a sad situation.
im sure he wanted you all to be celebrating his life

Your brother probably wanted the funeral to be a celebration of his life, not a gathering to cry about his death. I had a cousin that requested this same thing and it was wonderful. Everyone who attended spent the time talking about the good times they had with him. I think the way we were dressed helped in creating this overall attitude. Do it.

If your brother specifically made a request for non-formal attire, and the rest of the attendees are wearing hawaiian shirts, then it sounds like you won't be out of place.
Remember that honoring your brother's life and your love and memories of him are what this is about, paying tribute to someone you loved and who touched your life. If this is what he wanted, then by all means wear what you think is appropriate to his request.
I am sorry for the loss of your brother. May your time of grief be aided by loving family and friends.

truly no longer gladiators! you could completely placed on a knee length gown with residences, in spite of the indisputable fact that it's going to make your legs look widespread or short (counting on the position the gown sits on your knee) quite than heels which cause them to look longer and slimmer. gladiators and the different shoe which has a strap round your ankle will make your legs look even better short and somewhat fatter than they in many circumstances are. so i propose a mild pair of residences, you will get particularly peep toe ones or closed toe, both is totally ok. i'd propose the open toe because they're better summery. you should even get a shoe will a small heel, there are plenty that are purely a million inch extreme and they're going to make your legs look somewhat longer and slimmer yet reduces the prospect of your falling and killing your self! i'm 5'8 and am taller than all my acquaintances and assorted the adult males i understand too so i frequently placed on small heels because of that and my personal clumsiness and they experience so much better solid than extreme heels!

you should wear a BIKINI if that is what he specified (not saying it is though) it will be very easy for his work colleagues to dress down, but perhaps more difficult for family, cause you will want to respect his wishes, but some family will want to dress and for you to dress more formally. wear what you will, remember this will be the last thing he asks of you. i am really sorry for your loss, and hope you remember his life happily. lots of love from tina.
ps. when i die, hope not for a while yet, i have specified for everyone to wear pink, EVEN THE BLOKES!

You're mourning your brother - what you wear is your decision. However, if you're going to wear high heels, make sure you're not walking across miles of grass. The heels sink in the ground and you spend an awful lot of time yanking them out.

Then there is nothing wrong with a summer dress. It's summertime isn't it? I am sorry to hear about your loss, but if it was your brother's wishes to have everyone at his funeral be themselves, then so be it. Celebrate his life.

If that is what he requested then yes, you would be just fine wearing this to a funeral. I am very sorry for you and your family's loss and wish all of you the very best.

The loss of your brother unfortunately is the the main concern here and not what you're going to wear. Wear whatever you like!

Sorry to hear of your loss
Best wishes
