The title says it all really, I need a dress for Xmas day that I can bf in. I've spotted this one which I quite like but just wondered if anyone had any other ideas. I really don't want a dress designed specifically for bf - I've looked and they're all frumptastic.

hi just a quick reply as am supposed to be rushing out the door..
I'm breastFeeding & have chosen jersey wrap style dresses as they are more flattering.I haven't gone for full wrap as don't want any embarrassing gaping just dresses with an easy open wrap top. I bought one animal print in debenhams izzy range I think its called then 2 more fitted ones at misguided online. They are more figure hugging and partyish but with draping over the 'mummy tummy'. None of these are breastFeeding clothes as I too find them hideous!
The missguided dresses are in a range of colours, I chose royal blue & a dark green. They have gold button detail on sleeves and big shoulder pads both of which I removed. They are very 'cleavagey' but you can pull the fabric higher up your chest or accessories with a matching brooch. I just keep a coordinated lightweight scarf nearby for feeding to spare any blushes of the elderly relatives (anti breastFeeding!)
Happy shopping

How about something with a zip front?

A friend of mine has just got one of those bebe au lait BF covers. I wasn't that keen on them before because I'm a shameless exhibitionist who has been BF too long to care if people see me but actually it is quite snazzy and has a gaping bit at the top so you can see the baby but noone can see your boobs. Might be worth a try, then you can wear anything!

Mango have some nice draped dresses at the moment if you're happy to pull down.

Like this one. Sorry it's the spanish site - I'm in Spain. I have it and am planning on breastfeeding in at some point.
