Need a wedding outfit that I can breastfeed in

Help me please...

I am going to a wedding in August but thought I'd better sort out my outfit now before the shops fill up with winter clothes. Smile

DD2 will be with me and I will have to breastfeed her, so I need an outfit that I can breastfeed in discreetly. (e.g. a top which either has buttons or is loose enough to lift up). I can afford to spend £75 maximum.

I'm 5 ft 2in, size 8-10 and like blue/green/pink/lilac.

Suggestions welcomed Smile

well obviously not a dress then.

just a skirt and top or a shirt top that you can unbutton.

I think you can breastfeed in anything except a 1 piece dress really

Yes Flum is right. I made the huge mistake of wearing a dress. It was low cut so I thought it would be OK but it was also quite tight so I ended up stretching round the top and spent the whole day trying to hitch it up so you could not see my attractive nursing bra underneath.

Therefore anything where there is a zip involved forget it. Buttons would be the best thing - unless you tried to find something from Forms of something like that which is specificall for breastfeeding?

whole bunch of stuff \link{http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/CGIBIN/PRIAMLNK.CGI?MP=CAT%5EGIN200&CNO=1&NH=&CAT=JNT61&SPCAT=IM&SHOP=MAT\here} including a rather neat dress, but think their knotted top is the nicest.

Thanks, I do like that Blooming Marvellous Top Mrs Badger. I also tried to look on the Formes website (is that what you meant Sandradee - www.formes.com?) but couldn't get onto the site despite installing Flash as they suggested.
