This is my first post in S&B and I desperately need your help!

I have a posh wedding (day ceremony plus evening do on a boat) to go to on Saturday and nothing to wear. I have a 12 week old baby and exclusively bf so need something that allows discreet access. I feel huge at a size 22 atm and with 40J boobs. There is an hourglass figure under the post-pregnancy weight and I am 5'10.

I am permanently hot so will fry in wooly jumpers, and would rather avoid the sweaty horror of polyester. (Yes, I am looking at you Next!)

I have dresses but with no boob access feeding will be a nightmare.

Your help would be massively appreciated, as I have lived in yoga pants and stretchy tshirts for so long, I have lost all confidence in dressing up for a smart occasion! Hmm

Can you wear a dress, and just drape a muslin square over your boobs when you feed? So, I'm probably thinking a dress that shows a bit of cleavage!

I was a size 22 after DS2, so know how you feel. Monsoon is great for dresses if you fancied a new one...

Something like this - uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.2/3533690808

I know what you said about breastfeeding, but I've always managed in a low cut dress.

Both of those are lovely, thanks. I'm a bit scared of draping a muslin as my ds tends to fling himself about and there is an awful lot of boob. Perhaps something more substantial like a cardi or pashmina might help.
