Are jumper dresses and breastfeeding compatible?

Have always avoided dresses while bf but I really want a nice knitted jumper dress.

Am thinking if I get one with a lowish neck and very stretchy fabric maybe I can hoick a breast out through the neckline. Or is this impossible?
Thing is, I don't really like the ones with buttons at the neck or the wrap style ones .
Anyone have an opinion?
Thanks

Im always whipping mine out the top of my clothes... its such a good look

I find the wrap dresses easier, but do have a few jumper/tunic dresses, aslong as they are stretchy its fine.

I have several lovely dresses which are not BFing friendly and I cant wait to wear, got a lovely one from the white company last week

I love the blue version of that cowl neck one

Been ordering clothes online this week so now I'm on tenterhooks hoping it all turns up before the postal strike, or I'll be in ratty old maternity clothes for weeks.

Some brilliant suggestions on this thread, thank you all so much

You all have to check out Boobyliscious breastfeeding dresses www.Feedingfashion.com they open from under the bust so your tummy and boob are all covered - no hoiking necessary You would never know they are for breastfeeding and they are seriously beautiful, bit pricey but worth every cent!

Jane Norman has some really nice longline jumpers (not quite dresses but look like them with leggings) with really low necklines. I have one, and just wear a really stretchy vest top underneath so you can just manouver the jumper bit to one side, push down the vest top and you're ready to go. It looks just as discreet as designated breast feeding tops.

This is the one I have
or this one would work as well

No-one has mentioned leggings! Wear jumper dresses with leggings and a vest underneath, and then you are fine to hoik it all the way up. Still feels a bit weird though.
