Guest wedding outfit for leaky boobs

I’m going to a wedding - my baby will be 2 months old. I’m breastfeeding and expressing and I’m really struggling to find a dress that accommodates the fluctuating breast size and that will hid any leaking. I’m leaving the baby with family so won’t be breastfeeding for those 6-8 hours.

I would love tips on dress styles that could work.

Ive ruled out anything busty. Anything tight. Stiff fabrics.

A bonus would be tips on expressing to avoid engorgement throughout the day!

Whenever I’ve been away from my babies at that age, I’d need to express every 2/3 hours to keep my supply where it should be and prevent engorgement.

I would suggest a darker colour fabric disguise any wet patches, are you using breast pads? I used Elvie milk cups(?) with my second and they were brilliant, really comfortable and collect all the milk, wish I’d known about them with my first.
