Suggestions for nice breast-feeding dress for wedding?

Hello, I am looking for a smart dress to wear to a wedding in a month's time when I will still be breastfeeding. I need something with easy access! Has anyone seen anything suitable in the shops? It seems wrap dresses are the only way to go... but they can make you look quite busty can't they? Oh well, I suppose I am...

If they are specifically designed as feeding dresses rather than just a dress you can feed in they I guess they sort of have to look a bit wrap-like for access purposes??

Anyway I'm not sure if it's smart enough for your needs but here's one suggestion:

Wrap dresses make you look busty but in a good way as the wrap sort of separates the boobs and gives you cleavage, rather than making you just look like you have a big shelf whcih round necks can do!

I have breastfed at a few weddings and found wrap dresses the best thing - I also take a pashmina type thing to use for any drapeage needed.

I have just bought [[http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Pied+a+Terre+Silk+bow+waist/134526712,default,pd.html?cgid=301 this] for exactly the same scenario and it is lovely. As Meg suggests I am wearing a pashmina for drapeage.

I bought this for the same reason, it's a maternity dress so is made of that stretchy material so I can pull one side of the top to the side for bfeeding, and the tie waist band means I can cinch it in so I don't look pregnant.

gingerkirsty that dress is really lovely - where does it come to on you? Website says below the knee - I am 5'6.

I am 5' 4" and it covers my knees plus an inch or so - will check properly for u later when i don't have a baby attached to me!

Actually looks better on my more curvy figure than on the model in my humble opinion!
