Wedding guest 7/8 weeks post partum

DC2 is due at the beginning of April and my brother is getting married at the end of May. I went 2 weeks over with DC1, so could be anywhere from 5 weeks to 8 weeks post partum for the wedding.

Obviously I won't know until I've had the baby what my body will look like, but based on my weight gain and previous birth I'm expecting:

  • size 14/16
  • chunkier from the waist down but would like to cover upper arms as well
  • biggest problem will be mum tum and major muffin tops, which I never managed to get rid of after DC1 despite loosing all the baby weight

I'm planning to just order loads of things online and have a big trying on session at home. Not sure whether I will be breastfeeding as it didn't work out with DC1.

Can anyone with more style sense than me give me an idea of what sort of styles will disguise a mum tum and muffin tops that will be wedding guest appropriate. Open to colours, don't mind if it's quite plan in style as will jazz up with massive hat/fascinator.

Already have a fantastic pair of Spanx which go from the chest to the waist!
