I know this has been done to death but am really in need of advice/inspiration. I usually have a very clear idea in my mind of what look I want for an event, but I'm heavily constrained in many ways at the moment.

The wedding is at the end of oct. DP is best man. I will have a 7 mo and 28 mo to look after by myself during the day. So I have to have something fairly practical, and also I'll have about 30 seconds to get ready.

I'm still ebf'ing the baby, but plan to stop sometime soon after the 6 mo mark, but not sure when. Then there's the issue of the baby weight...

I was thinking of cigarette pants, heels and a jacket, as would be easy to wear for the day. I have a nice pair of brocade style trousers from Zara which would be great, and was thinking of a black tux style jacket. But then I thought I'll just look like an usher!!! Then I thought of a kimono style top, but may look frumpy with big breastfeeding boobs?? I can't do a different colour jacket as I'd just look naf and a bit like Fiona Bruce.

So any ideas? I'm 5'4" hope to be a 10 by the event, and would really like to be a bit snappy as am sick of being the pregnant/post natal/pregnant again/breastfeeding one!

Plain trous and a patterned jacket?

What colour are the zara trousers?

They are black, mikeL. The trouble with a patterned jacket is that there is already a pattern of sorts in the brocade.

I meant to add also I've limited shopping time available, and with a jacket isn't all about the fit, right?

AND thanks you in advance to anyone who can be bothered to read/ comment!
