Can somebody please help me?! Am exclusively breastfeeding dd, I have a posh wedding to go to next week and would,like to get dressed up. Only problem is that I can't find any bf dresses! Does anyone have some suggestions as to where I can get a nice, un-aggy dress from?

Any wrap dress or dress with a button fastening will be fine.

I used to get really stressed about my clothes thinking I could only wear a certain type to bf. actually with experience I've realised that I can wear anything except dresses that give no access to boobs IYSWIM because i would need to lift up the dress to bf (which is clearly not practical). A loose jersey dress, low enough to get my boob out, works but makes me feel exposed so I cover up with a scarf. The best option IMO is skirt + cami + top. You pull the top up and the cami down just enough for baby to latch on. No one will see anything. You can make the outfit as casual or smart as you like.
HTH. Smile

I think it's very difficult this season because the vast majority of dresses have a high neck line or are too casual. Ifyou get a specific bf dress they're not formal enough either ime. When I had a posh do to go to last month I altered a dress to enable me to undo it so if you or a friend have reasonable sewing skills then that might be an option? Otherwise I agree that skirt/top/jacket is easier option and can still be dressy.
