FUNERAL FROCKS: CLOTHES YOU COULD BE CAUGHT DEAD IN

ABILENE, Texas (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a fashion niche where the clothes are truly to die for: funeral frocks. One company that's sort of the Calvin Klein of coffin clothes is the Rita Barber company of Abilene, Texas. Company president Lee Hampton says the main difference between funeral fashions and regular clothes is burial frocks are made with high necklines and long sleeves to cover up any blemishes or wrinkles. Although pastel dresses have been the hot female funeral fashion for years, print dresses and pantsuits are becoming more popular, while navy pinstripe suits are still the norm for deceased men. Also popular these days is matching the coffin clothes to the casket lining.
