Wedding guest breastfeeding help

Hope some of you wise ladies can help!
I've got my brother's wedding in March and have no idea what to wear. I have a variety of dresses I normally bring out for weddings but I'd have to strip off to feed the baby. I'm thinking of separates so I can lift my top up to feed but can't picture a wedding guest outfit that's not a dress.
I'm quite tall, size 20, willing to buy and try many outfits between now and the wedding. Thank you.

I bought a breastfeeding dress from motherwear.com for FILs wedding, in the sale for less than £30! I'm 5'8" and it was a 16-18 :)

I thought I'd scoured all the bf websites for dresses, but not seen that one before. Thank you. Prices are good too, nursing dresses are usually so expensive

Its an american one, I found it completely by accident. That dress was £15, then £15 for the postage :)

Stretchy wrap dresses and button fronts are your friend. Am supposed to be making dinner so just some basic styles to get an idea of what you like. What sort of colours suit you?

this is nice if you like a vintagy look
this could be fab on - black is fine if you go with colourful accessories
crazy name Hmm black version
wrap

In the same situation I wore a top and skirt which was fine. I didn't want to spend a fortune on something that I wasn't likely to wear again, so it was a new top that I could wear with an existing nice skirt I already had.
The main problem was getting the baby back from all the cooing broody other guests to feed him Grin

Thanks marlane I have giant boobs, and really want to avoid anything that shows the top of my boobs as there's a lot of them. Also DS2 is a bobber and likes to look around every 3 seconds so I don't think a scarf would work covering him up, although I'm going to try it around the house to see how he gets on.
I have no idea what colours suit me, I am having a colour analysis in a few weeks though so will tell you then.
I have brown hair and pale skin if that helps!
I'm not keen on your first link, I think I would look very matronly, second link is nice, can't open the bottom two links - could be my phone!
