breastfeeding and two weddings - outfit ideas please?

I am breastfeeding a very hungry baby with absolutely no pattern to her hunger. I should be able to keep her quiet during the ceremonies, but I will have to feed her at some point during the wedding and receptions. One is in a posh hotel, so I will probably be able to pop into a room to feed, the other is an outdoor wedding on an island with a single marquee and portaloos.

Money is tight and I need an outfit that will do for both rather than buy two separate outfits if possible.

I am a size 12 and hourglass shape, though I have chunky thighs so my legs are not my best feature. I used have a tiny waist and big boobs, now I have a flat tummy which is wrinkly and breastfeeding shape :-( but a happy child :-) and I am finding dressing my new shape and size hard.

Any ideas please?

I went to a wedding 8 days after DS was born so I wore one of my Isabella Oliver wrap dresses. I was feeding virtually on the hour every hour during the reception!

I would suggest a wrap dress as it was easy to pull open to feed iykwim.

She will be just under 4 months old by the time of the first wedding and 5 1/2 months at the second. She has reflux as well, so something that won't show the stains would help :-)

I had been thinking of a wrap dress or skirt and top - in fact I got a boden skirt in the sale, and it is beautiful, but I am now trying to find a top to go with it that I can feed in that is pretty enough for photos.
