Dresses for breastfeeding that aren't "breastfeeding dresses"...

Just wondering if anyone has found any nice summer dresses this year that work for BFing? I have trawled the online shops that sell things designed for nursing and havent seen anything I like (plus it bugs me that they all double as maternity so have extra fabric at the tummy). In particular I am looking for something for a wedding in Morocco so it needs to be fairly light to keep me cool with a sweaty baby attached!
I have tried looking for a top / dress combo but the choices are too overwhelming for my sleep deprived brain...

I went to a christening last summer when I was breastfeeding and got a nice Maxi from Asda. It was cross-over design at the top and fabric and stretchy so worked really well. I got the 12 instead of 10 so there was a bit more give around the bust area. Was only £14 but didn't look cheap, I didn't want to spend much and I got comments on how nice it was.
Something like this (Apologies the print may not be your thing, they don't seem to have the range they did last year in the same design but may be worth popping in to the store to see if they have different ones)

Ooh thanks- I might buy and see how it feels. Nice that it comes in three lengths.
I found this wrap dress on esprit but it has elbow length sleeves.

Thanks poc- ive been looking for a maxi dress - seems like just the thing for a hot wedding - but am a bit short and so far haven't found one that fits in a print I like.

I got a shift with a zip front (not as racy as it sounds!) from New Look and a stretchy v neck with a flared skirt from H&M. H&M also had nice dresses with buttons down the front but the colours didn't work for me.
