Long sleeve dress for wedding help?

9 replies

Hello,

My brother is getting married in July and I'm looking for something to wear. I have some scars on my arm that I'd prefer to cover. Definitely not something I'd want to reveal to family for the first time at a wedding. So definitely want something long sleeve.

I'm also breastfeeding. My son will be over 1, but easy access would be a bonus.

I'm size 8-10. Small bust, I suit high waisted styles. Wedding will be in a garden, there will be a garden party vibe.

Any suggestions would be very very gratefully received 🙂 I've been looking at this

And this

But would need to look for my size elsewhere.

Thanks very much!

They are both lovely but won't they both be a nightmare to breastfeed in?

I'd try searching "long sleeve midi/maxi wrap dress".
Silkfred in particular has lots that style that are perfect for weddings

There's 3 links above, they've just merged

@HSKAT thank you! Yes, not ideal for BF but the reception is in a big private house so I was thinking I would ask if there was somewhere I could take my son to feed him. So I won't need to be discreet? He won't latch if there are any distractions anyway. Maybe I should have left bf out of my OP. Having said that, the wrap dresses do look convenient. I'm a B cup and dresses can be baggy at the front, sadly. Wonder if that's something that could be adjusted? I like the look of the wrap style and it might be easier to get a boob out. Hmm. Thanks for the links.

Have a look on the boden website. They've got lots of lovely long sleeved summer dresses.

Dancing Leopard Dove dress?

I saw someone wearing this at a wedding recently. It's shorter than the others your linked to but with a similar feel and has functional buttons so will be easy to feed in.
