Bridesmaid dress

[StayClosePooky]

My sister is getting married next month and has asked that I get my own dress. The only conditions is that it's navy and floor length. The issue is that I'm quite self conscious As I've got an 8 week old and am carrying a bit of extra weight.

Can Any lovely MNers find me a dress that would be flattering but not too frumpy? I've had a look but the ones I'm coming up with just don't look like a bridesmaid dress or make me look frumpy. I'm by no means large (size 12) but my usual size is an 8 so I'm feeling a bit stressed by it all! Any dress needs to be accessible for breastfeeding so anything high neck is a no go.

TIA

I have this one and whilst not too dressy it's super flattering!!

Whatever you get, add those suck in, spanks type pants to give a smooth line. Debenhams has a sale on currently so these range from £20-£44!!!:

@turnthebiglightoff I do love that but it's petite which I lost definitely ain't

I like the H&M nursing one but again think it might look frumpy.

I've ordered quite a few might post pics if I'm brave enough

I ordered one from coast, not sure on it though!

Hey, would this sort of thing work for you? I know it’s hard to wrap your head around buying a mat dress after you’ve given birth.
I haven’t bought seraphine for a few years but they always came up larger to take account of baby weight so 12 pp might be 10

That Coast one is beautiful 😍

I love that first coast one.
