Right... what can I wear for ds's christening... not too expensive, ideally breastfeed-able...

[emkana]

Would be great if somebody had some good ideas for me - I'm so rubbish at clothes-shopping!

we need to know size, budget and colouring m'dear

Oh sorry

Well... size 18 unfortunately...
(had meant to lose weight for this, but too late now... only three weeks to go)

colouring... I have brown hair and pale-ish skin.

I am very tall.

Budget... say up to £70?

I've never had a wrap dress, never even tried one on, but am not opposed to having one.

califrau, btw, don't feel that you can't speak freely about your experiences in Germany because of me - I won't get upset anymore promise and I won't hate you either!

According to EVE Magazine (IIRC) a nice sundress, just be wearing your good pants!

I thought I would get links...

please? Just one or two to put me on the right track?

I have my dd2's christening tomorrow and I am wearing browny colour tweed look trousers white shirt and beige v neck jumper plus some beautiful brown shoes I bought yesterday (when I was child free ) although they have heels and havent worn heels since last summer could be interesting .

I am also 16/18 and feel very comfortable in it couldnt do a dress as have dd1 who is an very active 2.7 year old to chase after. Plus the church is a fair walk from car park and wasnt sure what the weather would be like. Did buy dh a beige colour tie so we will coordinate.

DD2 is wearing the family christening gown theres a pic on my profile. Will post one of my outfit after tomorrow if you want to see it

I actually wouldn't choose a wrap dress if breastfeeding - your whole nork would be "out"

I think a camisole type shop, nice cardigan or jacket adn a pretty skirt would be better

Hang on and i'll link

this cardigan is pretty and could be worn with jeans afterwards

do you like this sort of thing? it looks like it opens at the front and you could wear with a wrap/cardi/jacket?

this could look nice?

would you feel comfortable in an outfit like this?

oh WHERE is Mrs Badger

How about this top with a glam/pretty patterned skirt and pretty cardi for if it gets chilly. You could wear it all summer afterwards!

This and this are officially pregnancy clothes, but I had one all through my pregnancy and am still wearing it, because it's jersey it is amazingly forgiving, and also accomodates (god I love this phrase) the "norkularly gifted and talented"

Ooooh how lovely, just logged on and saw all these posts! No time to check out the links atm, but wanted to say thank you already.

Will be back later or tomorrow!
