Widow's Weeds	comment	Using black clothing to demonstrate mourning a person who has died. Not only at the funeral service, but also any time she is visiting their grave, a woman in mourning is shown wearing a black dress and/or a black hat with a veil. Usually, this is the widow of the deceased, but it can be other close female relatives as well, such as their mother, sister, or daughter. Spear Counterpart is a man wearing a black armband to show mourning since men wear black suits in other contexts as well. According to That Other Wiki, black clothing and veils were colloquially called "widow's weeds" during the Victorian era, from the Old English word "waed," meaning "garment." Not to be confused with Black Widow, or with a widow cleaning her husband's grave of weeds. Or a widow carrying THOSE kind of weeds (or growing them). Its sole purpose is to communicate nonverbally that someone has died. This trope is typical of Western cultures, especially among Christians and Jews. In Eastern cultures, the traditional color of mourning and death is white, in which case, see Ethereal White Dress.

The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, Elizabeth is seen wearing a black dress, a black hat, and a lace veil during a Grave-Marking Scene for her fiance August, who just died from Soap Opera Disease. The implication is that, despite not having officially married (her parents issued an Parental Marriage Veto due to him dying), she considers herself married to August, and with good reason: she has his child.

Almedha was once a concubine of the Mad King Ashnard, Path of Radiance's Big Bad, and became queen dowager of Daein in the aftermath of the Mad King's War. She dresses in dark robes, is almost always seen with her veil up, and is noted to be quite fragile as an effect of all she's suffered through, to the point of going the God Save Us from the Queen! route for the sake of her beloved false son. Ironic considering that Ashnard never felt anything for her or their child (especially since it was discovered that their half-Dragon Branded child possessed no powers Ashnard could use to further his own ends).

For Johnny's funeral, Katie gets herself a black hat and three-foot veil, according to Williamsburg custom, and Neely a black suit with long pants, as befitting his position as the man of the house. Francie just gets the shoes she has been needing anyway and has a black armband sewn on her old coat. Francine is relieved rather than jealous since she hates black and was afraid Katie might put her in deep mourning.

"My greatest wish now," she added, "is to get back to Kansas, for Aunt Em will surely think something dreadful has happened to me, and that will make her put on mourning; and unless the crops are better this year than they were last, I am sure Uncle Henry cannot afford it."

In Victorian culture, half mourning was the later phase of mourning dress, when people would gradually start to wear colors other than black again; what Wendy means is that maybe their mother is missing them less and less, and will forget about them if they stay away much longer.

Widow's Weeds / int_892aa56a	comment	Murdoch Mysteries is set in Victorian-Edwardian era (late 19th and early 20th century) Toronto, Canada, so many characters who have deaths in their families observe this, and many widows keep their mourning black for years after the deaths that prompted the clothing change. Just after her husband Dr. Garland is murdered in "Crime and Punishment", Dr. Ogden doesn't immediately adopt black clothing, and during his interrogation of her, Giles calls her out on it: "How very modern." Julia does wear widow's weeds after this, particularly when she's planning to meet Darcy's parents at the train station and in court during her murder trial.

It is mentioned that she intends to prolong the year of mourning as long as possible as a form of protection, as she is of mixed British and Indian descent and even a brute would hesitate to insult a woman of mixed race that is in mourning. In The Gates of Sleep, Marina Rosewood is, following the death of her parents, outfitted with a new and all-black wardrobe by her Aunt Arachne. Marina wishes at one point that her aunt didn't require her to be dressed in the strictest possible interpretation of mourning, as normally young unmarried women could wear mauve, lavender, or violet during mourning without offending anyone. She even thinks to herself that she would end up looking like Queen Victoria or a would-be Gothic poetess before her period of mourning is over.

Who she's in mourning for is never specified (in an earlier draft, and in the 2009 film, she describes herself as an orphan, so presumably it's for one or both of her parents), but it suits her romantic heartbreak as well. Subtly alluded to when the Cratchits are mourning Tiny Tim's death in the Bad Future sequence. Mrs. Cratchit and the girls are sewing and Tim's death is revealed when Mrs. Cratchit tries to hide her tears by saying "The colour hurts my eyes," at which the narrator comments "The colour? Ah, poor Tiny Tim!" The implication is that they're sewing their black mourning clothes.

Technically, they were never married, due to Ellaria being a bastard while Oberyn is a high prince, but they clearly considered themselves married in all but name. The trope is conspicuously averted during the first season when Cersei Lannister continues to wear her usual bright colors despite the death of her husband, King Robert Baratheon, probably because she didn't actually love him and covertly arranged for the Hunting "Accident" that killed him. Cersei only starts wearing black after Joffrey's death and continues to do so as more of her family die.

Widow's Weeds / int_e46d33d6	comment	In Disney's Encanto, Abuela Alma wears a black shawl most of the time, which represents her mourning for her husband Pedro, and the fact that her grief for him and fear of losing the rest of her family is the cause of the harmful pressure she puts on them all to protect the miracle. She finally stops wearing it in the end, when she finds healing through her reconciliation with Mirabel.
