What to wear post pregnancy?

Posting on behalf of my sister who isn't on mumsnet... She's having a bit of a confidence crisis at the moment due to post pregnancy weight so I thought I'd consult the style and beauty gurus of mumsnet!

She's normally around 9 stone but is currently 11, three months after the birth. She's hoping to shift the weight in the coming months but in the meantime needs a pick me up for her wardrobe.

She is most concerned about the belly and hip area, has slim legs and a large rack! Probably E cup. She's breast feeding so needs easy access.

Mostly wearing leggings and stretchy dress things at the moment but would like some advice on other options.

She doesn't have a massive budget, we've been looking in places like primark, asda and h&m for a temporary wardrobe.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Wrap dresses with a vest underneath for breastfeeding. Doesn't need to be a special 'breast feeding vest' just a normal vest top that she can pull up/down.

Because it's coming into winter she'll be able to layer with cardigans and jumpers, which is good if she's shy about feeding in public or worried about her new shape.

I love jeggings - Dorothy Perkins have some lovely ones.

I have to admit that I'm heavier than she is, and my children are both +1 year old Blush I never did shift the weight across my belly Envy
