Post-baby need new clothes... help!

Hi everyone,

I am 3 months post baby and feeling soooo frumpy.
I'm about a stone heavier than I was before baby and none of my clothes fit. Still re-wearing the same few maternity dresses at the moment and feeling gross and very unattractive.
I am also breastfeeding which makes finding new suitable clothes even harder.
I am around a size 12 and 5ft 6. I like button through dresses and midi skirts with t shirts. All suitable for feeding.
I'm not very good at online shopping and dont know the best places online to shop.. any advice or suggestions of nice pieces? I saved some money so that I could treat myself but I don't even know where to start :/

What would be your budget?

After I had my baby I used Dorothy Perkins

They have you you are looking for. As does new look.

I didn’t buy many expensive pieces as my don’t shape was changing. I bought about 4 dresses and a couple tops.

I'd also 2nd can I breastfeed in it I picked up loads of ideas although all the post partum slim women depressed me a little.

Definitely join Can I breastfeed in it. amazing group and everyone is so supportive. I found the Sainsbury's jumpsuit with the zip good for feeding and surprisingly flatter but my favourite was pinafore dresses with leggings, so flattering and super easy to fed in. Not my normal style.
