Breastfeeding friendly dress/outfit for funeral

I'm attending a funeral in 2 weeks time with my newborn and I'm struggling to find dresses/outfits that I can breastfeed in.

Maternity/nursing dresses look ridiculous (like tents) on me because I've been lucky enough to spring back into shape.

The outfit doesn't necessarily have to be black. Dark colours and patterns would be fine, almost preferred over black, as I'll get more wear out of the clothing.

I'd prefer a dress as that's what I generally live in day to day and find most comfortable (I try to avoid waistbands due to endometriosis), but would consider a comfortable skirt and cardigan (I already own black and navy cardigans).

Bonus points for a style that accommodates my changing post partum shape... I don't have a bump but I am currently a soft size 8-10 (closer to 10) rather than my usual 8. I don't really like the idea of buying something fitted (for example) that I'll only wear once or twice if I can help it (a waste of resources)!

Thanks in advance 🙂

I would suggest something like a wrap dress. I find these easy when breastfeeding because you can just loosen the top slightly to feed and can also tie it as lose or as tight as you want it around your waist.
There usually is different lengths in them depending on what you want and I find them ideal for autumn with tights and boots too as they can be dressed up or down.
Maybe something like the picture attached? That's from inthestyle, I only picked there because I've been looking recently at their bits, but I'm sure you could go anywhere!

Black midi wrap dress. Very versatile but will be appropriate for the occasion and easy to BF in.
