Dress I can breastfeed in?

It's DD's Christening a week on Sunday and I had planned to express milk for her feeds during the day, however the last couple of weeks she has absolutely refused to take a bottle.
So I need a dress (or skirt and top) that is smart enough for Church and lunch but that I can feed her in. Saw a personnel shopper yesterday who suggested some rather impractical silky trousers teamed with a floaty top.

Am a size 12 everywhere except bust (34H!!).

All ideas appreciated.

Thanks - they are both lovely, like the colour of the Jojo one more, but the asos one is a bargain.

I've also just seen these

www.babeswithbabies.com/section_details.asp?section=Breastfeeding+Dresses&section_id=1886 which are a bit pricier.

Was surprised that there was nothing on the highstreet, I've been living in vest tops, cardis and jeans since DD was born. Will get ordering so there's a chance it will arrive in time!

Thanks again.

they're nice but £££ for something that you won't get much wear out of. The asos one is dirt cheap but I agree that the jojomaman one is nicer, plus I've just noticed if you look at the photos of the asos one in black, the fabric looks almost see-through it's so thin. With that in mind I'd go for jojo - and remember the mumsnet 10% discount!

I looked a long time for something similar for a wedding and the choice was dire! I ended up wearing a dress I could pull down from the top, and a Cardigan that buttoned up to my neck, so I opened the bottom lot of buttons and kept myself covered. Result is that I can still wear the nice dress and cardie now I'm not feeding.
