Can you help me find a bridesmaid dress to wear 25 days after giving birth

My best friend is getting married 25 days after my EDD. Obviously this means I could be at the wedding with anything from a 6 week old to a 10 day old baby. It's my first but searching threads on here has left me in no doubt this is a terrible idea and that I will be a leaky, hormonal mess Grin
I won't go if I'm not fit enough and my BF knows that but I'd really like to try.
We are choosing our own dresses and the only stipulation is that the dresses are sea greens/blues. Can be any length or cut.
I'd like to spend no more than £100 but could stretch budget for the right dress. I hope to breastfeed so would like easyish access to boobs but happy to feed in private if I need to undress a little.
Any suggestions on styles, fabrics and lengths would be greatly appreciated Flowers

Look in MilkChic loads of highstreet dresses that should work for breastfeeding.

Seraphine have some that look the right colour, but not sure they will be smart enough

Jojomamanbebe or Mamas and papas might be worth a look - can't see anything at the moment.

Consider something that could fit you at a number of sizes!

Comfy shoes, and a change of outfit incase you get any of a number of bodily fluids (yours or babies) all over you.

Hi, try kissydress.co.uk. Horrible website, but they have a long convertible multiway dress reduced to £69.99.
Lots of colours and could hide a multitude off sins. Unless you are really lucky!
HTH.

Thank you so much for those suggestions. Milk chic and kissydress have some brilliant options. Milk Chic sent me to m&s who have so lovely dresses- would never have thought to look there!

Have taken the change of clothes suggestions on board. Thankfully it's only a 10 min drive from home so we can leave when we need to or if there are catastrophic leakages...God it's going to be so glamorous!

Good luck! Have fun.
A friend of mine wore a multiway dress as a bridesmaid not long after she'd had a baby. She looked great?
