Dress for breastfeeding former woman of style? :-)

I'm going to a relative's wedding in two weeks. My DS2 will be 18 weeks old and breastfeeding.

I need a dress which allows me to breastfeed. But I hate wrap-style dresses. Normally I only wear shift dresses.

I am normally pretty slim but currently my boobs are huge - around a 32F. The rest of me is reasonably close to its pre-baby form but the boobs make me very top heavy and I can't fit in anything I already own.

I don't like anything clingy. I have a very short body so anything with an elasticated waist makes me look like 100% boobs. I would normally shop at Zara, H&M, Reiss, The Kooples etc.

This is the type of thing l like in a bolder colour:

Or this:

I don't love either of those exactly but that should give you an idea.

I tried this on because it had a zip front but didn't like the pattern:

Any ideas for a dress I can breastfeed in that is still relatively stylish and meets my frankly mental needs?

Thank you if you survived this OP.

To clarify, I am the former woman of style. I am breastfeeding my baby.

I am not someone breastfeeding a formerly stylish woman.

What's your budget?

Babes with babies a bit pricey but very good service.

Milk Chic is a brilliant website with links to loads of dresses either designed, or can be easily used, for breastfeeding.

Enjoy the wedding :)

Ah thanks. Will check out those links. Budget is a couple of hundred quid but ideally not as much as that, since one day my boobs will not need their own postcode....I hope.
