Anyone found bf-friendly summer dresses?

If such a thing exists Grin

A google search led me to maternity dresses but I cant seem to find some nice BF dresses.

Any ideas of where to find some?

Thanks!

Can't call that one - its is 100% cotton but doesn't say it's stretch - so I would need to try it on to see how much 'swivel' there is in it! Tis nice though.

Gauchita · 24/05/2012 17:58

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I got this from verbaudet link. its ok but asI am short, the top billows a bit and sometimes flashes a bit of belly, but if you're taller it might be ok. 40% off at the moment too according to the home page

Gauchita · 25/05/2012 15:51

I'm not particularly tall but unfortunately that style doesn't fit me very well. It looks nice though and the price isn't bad.

I have two winners! Here Got one in blue and one in orange (might go for a black one as well). Stretchy enough to be pulled down and quite a nice fit Smile

Ooh nice, think i'll get some one as well !

Mombojombo · 25/05/2012 16:13

A mention for Tu at Sainsburys as well. I've got four one of their fake wrap dresses and it's ace for feeding in, and £9 in the sale. Pretty fabrics and nice cut too.

Jojomamanbebe do breastfeeding dresses.

here

They've only got a few to choose from. But they do the job! :)

Gauchita · 25/05/2012 16:31

Yes, I decided agains the H&M one I had linked upthread when I read it was 100% polyester. On a warm day I'd have melted Grin

I've got a Hush dress (called Byron I think). Blue and white stripes with buttons down the front. I didn't buy it as a bf dress but now I am b feeding it works really well.

I like the look of their strapless sundresses too but fear I may flash more than required in these.

Sorry can't link as on phone.

Beckamaw · 25/05/2012 18:47

Ooh, good thread. Will read!
Can someone explain why in all wankerage are BFing items almost always also made as maternity wear? How many of us are pregnant and BF at the same time?
It is bollox. I finally have some semblance of a waistline and refuse to wear maternity frocks any longer! Angry

Lucyannieamy · 25/05/2012 23:16

I want this! www.welovefrugi.com/mother/nursing-wear/breastfeeding-dresses/parsley-print-dress/
Not actual bf at moment, or even pg again (yet) but nearly bought it anyway! Soon as I get a blue line it's mineGrin

Violetroses · 25/05/2012 23:27

Try babeswithbabies or bellamama -I've got a lovely navy dress with v discrete feeding access from here :

whackamole · 26/05/2012 12:16

They are really nice Violetroses. I'd really like to get a couple, but as DS3 is 7 months now, I'm not sure if it is worth the layout? Plus I'd need to buy at least one more bra as mine are very saggy and shabby now.

whackamole · 27/05/2012 18:38

I am planning on ordering these in every colour this evening. They look like they should work for breast feeding, I will probably put a cami top underneath.

Either way, at £8.40 they're a pretty good deal!

Gauchita · 27/05/2012 19:51

Oh Whackamole, at that price they're almost begging to be ordered Grin

My thoughts exactly! Wink

(Don't worry, I put a t-shirt in the order for OH to placate him Grin)
