Although I am against everyday purse carry, I just have not found a good way to conceal on body for dressy situations unless I wear a suit and jacket. I attended a funeral today in a sketchy part of Memphis and had to leave my firearm in the car because there was no way to wear my gun without major printing issues.

For occasions like this, or any time that you have to "dress up," you might want to consider a belly band type carry rig. They can be worn against your bare skin under anything, high or low. They can even be found in a light beige skin color instead of black. I'd recommend a 4" wide one (with a lightweight gun)....they're more comfortable than the 5" or 6" varieties.
Another thing that might help is to have a very small & slim gun, just for deep concealment purposes (can also double as a BUG). Something along the lines of a Ruger LCP or a Kel-Tec .380. Personally, I really don't like anything smaller than a .38, but I'd take a .380 (or even a .22 for that matter) over nothing anyday.
Now if you combine the small & thin .380 with a belly band (especially a beige 4" wide one)......there would be no printing and no one would ever know you're packin'
