Blouse hunt! The search is on...

I am going to a wedding in a month, accompanied by still-bf DD. I think a skirt and top is going to be the most practical option, and have a lovely full skirt with a stylised floral print on it in mind. However I am stumped for the top half! Ideally I want a pretty, very fitted, prob short sleeved or sleeveless blouse with buttons up the front. Colour wise could be red, yellow, dusky pink, dark grey or white. Ideally to work with a nursing bra! Has anyone seen anything that would fit the bill?

Sure you eagle eyed lot will have spotted something! Thanks in advance!

Ooh replies! Thanks for those, not sure they're quite right though. Very stylish but I think I'm after something a bit more 'pretty' - it's a country wedding in a barn if that helps?! The Reiss one actually might work tucked in to the skirt but more fitted would be better. Annoyingly I can't link to skirt as I'm borrowing it and don't know where it's from. But it's full skirted, almost 50s style.

I'm a size 10, budget up to 50 / 60 quid for the right thing.

Thanks Remus.... Both a bit shirty, this has been my problem looking, everything seems to be like that. Perhaps I am pursuing something deeply unfashionable!

Red

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2013 22:46

ooh could this be it?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2013 22:46

Christ, Tethers - she looks as if she's about to explode!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2013 22:47

Yellow bargain if you are a 14

tethersend · 12/08/2013 23:10

She did ask for very fitted Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2013 23:13

OP - where are you? Did Tethers' link scare you away? :)

Ha ha sorry, not frightened off I promise, I just fell asleep! But dd just woke me up again (thanks dd!). I actually like both if those even though they're v different. Tethers' one wouldn't look quite so, ahem, tight on me as despite bf I'm pretty small in the boob dept. not sure it'd be the easiest to feed in though and anyway is only available in size xxl!

Remus that's v pretty and definitely more like what I had in mind. May well order it tomorrow, my only hesitation is it's only available in medium which I think may be too big...
