Wedding guest dress - carrying baby weight and breastfeeding

[BunnytheFriendlyDragon]

I have a wedding coming up. I'm still carrying some extra baby weight (a size or two but especially round the middle also due to diastasis recti and have huge boobs!)

Im around a size 10-12 now, 5'4, usually like fitted dresses / pencil skirt style but not at the moment.

Need something to wear that is suitable for a wedding, flattering and that I can breast feed in! Not much to ask then...

TIA

That'll be a floaty wrap dress then, won't it?

Hadnt thought it a wrap dress actually.

That's lovely but imagine I'd look awful in it and that fabric might not be forgiving?

Think I may feel like that about whatver I wear tonight. I can do jeans and a good fitting loose top but can't imagine wearing any kind of dress and not looking huge!

I'm thinking there is always Spanx which might help me on the middle area 🤔

Thanks for the link @waltzingparrot

I quite like this one

I like that one :)

Yes, I like that one too.

Oh good.

It's not too much either so I could probably find occasion to wear it more than once hopefully.

I am back to liking this

But I have ordered this - not sure whether I'll like it or if I've ordered the right size

Also need something for the hen party day the day before but didn't really want to buy two dresses

And will also need shoes and a bag as I have no idea where anything is and I'm not rooting through the loft or garage in spider season!

Can I wear shoes that are not v high and still look nice?

Did you have any maternity/nursing dresses that were suitable for an occasion? I only ask because in a moment if desperation when everything I'd ordered wasn't quite right, I tried on a maternity/nursing dress that I'd worn while pregnant and it was so flattering still! Even without a bump and with a diastasis tummy instead. And it was a nursing dress so no stress there. Thought it might be worth a mention

They have a few on here

The dress is lovely
Have you looked on In The Style? Dani Dyer did a collection that had beautiful breastfeeding dresses & so did Stacey Solomon

Have you checked out the Can I Breastfeed in it? Facebook group. It's fabulous for this sort of thing

Thank you.

I don't have a maternity dress that would be suitable unfortunately.

Didn't know about those collections or the Facebook group.

Looks like the dress I've ordered is due to arrive tomorrow so if I don't like it I'll be looking for something else!
