Clothes for BFing in this spring

Has anyone seen anything good? I'm due towards the end of March and thoughts are turning to what I will wear while I'm feeding.

I've got vests and cardis and pjs which will see me through the first 2/3 weeks and the end of winter, but I don't really have anything suitable for once the weather gets warmer.

I was in Sainsbury's yesterday and they had some quite nice looking jumper dresses, but all high-ish neck and no buttons so no good.

Budget - probably don't want to spend more than £50-60ish on a dress or £40 on a top. Happy to spend more than that on a lovely cardi though as I know that will get lots of wear.

Good idea to think about what to wear whilst feeding.
I would perhaps put a search in on e-bay for breastfeeding tops and dresses.You can sell on the ones that don't work well for you.
Often clothes not made for breastfeeding are just as good. A few stretchy vest tops that can be pulled up or down will be useful, then you can layer something on top too. Oh, and a word of warning about some breastfeeding clothing. Tiny sits for exposing a nipple just aren't practical as the clothing just gets in the way.

Thanks lou.

I'm not keen on specific BFing clothes - I didn't get any with DS as the ones I looked at had those slits you describe and with big boobs there is no guarantee that the slits matches up with where your nipple is!

In my head I'm going to find some lovely tops/dresses with buttons that I can feed in without having to uncover half of myself :)
