Shirt dress midi tips

7 replies

Hi! I’ve been looking all over online for a comfortable button through dress (so I can use it for breastfeeding). Midi length would be perfect.
I’m thinking a shirt dress but any style would do. Forgiving cut as I’m trying to lose the baby weight.
My little girl is only eight weeks old so it hasn’t been possible to properly search the shops and I haven’t seen much online.
Can anyone recommend a good un? Thank you!

Arket have shirt dresses. You might even find one in the sale. You could try Boden too. I hope you enjoy your baby.

I had this dress last year from Fatface and it is knee length on me (5'10) and buttons halfway, good quality and washes well.

They don't sell on the Fatface website anymore but a similar style might be an alternative to search for! Happy hunting x

These might also work!

Also a wrap midi dress could easily work (with a little vest top underneath that you can hook up for a bit of extra coverage).

P.s. Sorry for massive links!

I have this and it's my favourite thing in my wardrobe at the minute. Really flattering and lovely material too!

Have you joined the 'Can I breastfeed in it UK' Facebook group? It's really useful!

ferntwist · 05/08/2018 17:07

Oh wow Hickory I didn’t know about that group, it’s just what I need. Thank you!
