Bf friendly wedding outfit?

Any ideas for a chubby new mum?

I’m a size 14-16 (more like 16 tbh) apple shape. Slim legs, slim arms until you get to the top of them, big post csection tum and HUGE norks due to bfing. I’d rather something with sleeves but all of the ones I’ve found are too high in the neck to bf. I’d rather avoid anything too clingy or stretchy like jersey.

Was thinking maybe a nice skirt with a cami and blouse over the top? Not sure if that’s a bit casual or ‘workwear’ for a wedding though...

Advice much appreciated.

To complicate matters further, I can’t wear navy to this as that’s what the bridesmaids are wearing and I’m self conscious of looking all “IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME” Grin!

Mummy and Milk (terrible name) I think it is does bf friendly clothes, I have a lovely cowl top from there. Tiffany Rose also does bf friendly dresses which are occasion worthy. I have used non bf dresses and a pashmina when needed on the fly.

Thanks, I’ll have a look!

You see, if I wasn’t so chubs at the moment, I’d wear a stretchy fabric with straps and just whip down a strap to feed. I’m also having to pump a lot, so will most likely have to pump a couple of times during the day, which involves both boobs out,(will go somewhere private for that). So, something stretchy / strappy would work for that, but I’d look state unless I miraculously tone up and lost a few stone in the next month... hmmm.

Check out Scarlett & Jo, I think their "2 in 1" dresses would be good for breast feeding.
