Help, I need a dress for a wedding that will cover postnatal tummy and giant milky boobs

I'm maid of honour at a gay wedding in two weeks' time, I have just given birth a week ago so need to find something to wear pdq, which will 1) allow easy breastfeeding, 2) cover giant milky norks and 3) hide flabby tummy.

I am 5ft 3in, fairly petite apart from postnatal bulges, but am blessed with somewhat short and chunky legs. Fair skin and hair, well-toned arms and cannot understate just how big my boobs are atm (a G cup at least).

Haven't got time for internet shopping in case what I buy doesn't fit, so really need to be able to get it from one of my local shops -- that's H&M, River Island, Top Shop, Oasis, New Look, Next or Dorothy P. As it's a gay civil ceremony I want something quite funky and not too showy.

Please help me, I am hopeless in matters of style...

Betty Jackson Fuschia Linen dress. And wear it with a black shrug (with ties that hang down to disguise your tummy) with a giant fuschia corsage (good distraction)?

Sorry I can't link the dress but my browser keeps crashing - you will find it on the site. It's nice I was looking at it the other day and it's perfect for giant knockers!

Congratulations on your new baby.

I love this shirt dress from Next. I wore a shirt dress with the top buttons undone and a camisole underneath for a wedding when I was BFing and it worked well.

Thanks both.

That Betty Jackson dress is gorgeous but sadly no Debenhams nearby, also not sure how easy it would be to whop out a boob in.

I like that Next dress, will see if they have it in the local store.

Any more suggestions?
