Help please! I've got a wedding to go to in 4 weeks and had DS 3 weeks ago. I had a C-section so not exactly snapping back to shape in any hurry (9 month chocolate habit probably didn't help either!). Going by what I was like with DD I'm still going to have that 'is she/isn't she' pregnant look by then, and will have to seriously diet to get back to anything resembling pre-pregnancy weight.

Problem is finding something to wear that is reasonably cheap (not planning on staying this size for long!) and doesn't make me look like the side of a house. Am tempted to go for something enormous and tent-like but can hear trinny and susannah screaming Nooooooo! Anyone have any advice?

btw will prob just wear plain trousers or skirt (dress out as breastfeeding).

i would maybe go for the knot-top wiht a gorgeous string of beads/necklace to take the attention away, and with a flared skirt

small heels

enjoy the wedding

Hadn't thought about breastfeeding tops - good idea, thanks!

I have a very large tubigrip which I was given from the Physio when I was pg and it fitted around my waist - post-baby it completely squished in the watery-flab when needed and made me look not-pregnant again. :) Perhaps you could try improvising with a boob-tube around your waist? Or try M&S support pants with support tights. Good luck!
