I bought this dress for an important wedding coming up
m.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_103020617094_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EWomen%7EDresses
I love it but baby is showing no sign of being agreeable and switching to bottles any time soon.
This dress is utterly impossible to bf in :(

Can anyone find me a cool dress that I can feed in please?! I have tired eyes from looking!
I'm a size 10, big boobs, need to be able to wear a bra, quite short!!

Thank you!

Gorgeous and can be for everyday too. Over budget?

this is lovely

maybe?

I've just looked at Toopshop so far as I thought it's closest match to your tastes, going on the dress you linked to. There are three lovely and imo suitable dresses:

quirky pale pink shirt dress
coral crossover chest dress
beautiful and different cross chest dress

Ooh, I like that last topshop one.

MadameChinLegs · 09/05/2012 20:04

Me too...I may have to shoehorn myself into someone else's event as an excuse to buy it.

Catsu · 09/05/2012 21:00

Thank you! The last top shop one is lovely, really like the pattern and the style, it looks too short though I think!
The second photo showing it on the dummy shows it well above the knee at the front, looks like it would only just cover the pants!!

Right, I've looked at your dress and IMHO it's irreplaceable. How frequently do you need to feed at the moment? If I were you I'd be prepared to strip down somewhere private (the loos if necessary Shock) to feed for just that one day. Seriously. I've done my fair share of BFing and well, needs must Grin

Do consider it, it's worth a little inconvenience to feel fab for the day.

I'm with MrsLettuce - I face the same dilemma with my bro's wedding in July and in the end I'm going to go with the dress I love, which is completely boob-inaccessible. As I will be carting a sizeable (but stylish, of course) bag around with DS's nappies etc, I'm going to shove a very baggy but lightweight t-shirt in there too, so worst comes to the worst I'll strip to the waist and stick Tshirt on to feed DS. He'll be 10 months though by then and hopefully less reliant on boob! Can imagine it being much harder with a younger baby.

That dress is really nice. Closest I could find in animal motifs for a similar price that would allow for easy BF and bra-wearing were:

owl print
cat & dog print
bird print
