does anyone actually buy BF-specific clothes? I've just avoided dresses for the last 10 ms (well apart from the odd stretchy v-neck ).

agree this is better than anything from the NCT catalogue. just.

wish fcuk did zoom...

I have used this dodge on a couple of old bras but hadn't thought of doing it on a whole vest...

but then you have to expose the top part of your chest which always makes me feel quite naked (much more so than pulling a top up from the waist).
Keep us posted Tutter, am on the lookout for bf friendly clothes which look NORMAL...

MrsB you can clearly sew (as well as shop!) I cant sadly. but great idea...

pannacotta, am thinkin of using it under loose tops, so one comes up, the other down, hence no bodily exposure...

Feeding vests are brilliant in winter - but are only ever on sale in summer. Last year H&M did some, but the boob part was not really large enough. Nonetheless, they made outdoor feeding in winter very much more comfortable and modest than exposing belly. I wore them with a big button-up shirt over the top.

best-looking bf clothes I have seen

if you get those rivetty plier thing you can do it with poppers and no sewing
or buy boob tubes - dp has them in sale

MrsB agree re your Mamaway link, some of the tops are really pretty. Havent got round to ordering any yet though... Think they are shipped from Asia which put me off a bit as returns would be pricey.
