DH's cousin is getting married. Church service followed by a reception in a barn on a working farm (no proper paths etc). It's a big deal for my MiL as all her family will be there and it is her opportunity to introduce my dd (6 months; still breastfed) to them.

What on earth do I wear? Is it going to have to be a wrap dress and wedges?

Separates would work better. A skirt and top could be perfect here. What's your shape? Best features? Colours?

Thanks branches. I'm a fat curvy size 12 and 5'7. Legs are probably my best (least wobbly) feature. I like that jacquard number but the top looks like it would be a challenge to feed in.

I'm feeding at the moment too and occasion wear is difficult, not least because you have to account for an ugly nursing bra. I've found pencil type skirts and a top to be my best hope.

I bought my maternity wedding dress from tiffany rose and they had some pretty nursing dresses in too. They might be worth a look?

There's a Facebook group called Can I breastfeed in it UK where people recommend clothes in the shops that are good for breastfeeding in. They have loads of wedding recommendations.

I went to a wedding like this last week with a bravissimo dress that had a cross over wrap style front that I could pull down and used a shawl for cover.
