Dress help wanted!

I am in search of a dress that makes me feel like a human again! I am going out with my husband for my 30th birthday we are going to the theatre for a matinee then out to a nice restaurant.

I have a 4 month old and the postpartum body to go with it. This will be the first time I’ve left her with her Grandparents for any longer than half an hour.

I am roughly a size 14/16 with a c-section pooch, large fluctuating boobs from breastfeeding no idea what size they are anymore I was a 36C pre-pregnancy, I also used to be a pear shape pre-pregnancy now I’m not sure.

I like florals and polka dots but no animal print or very loud prints. Budget up to around £70 but the less spendy the better really as maternity pay isn’t great!

Ideally something breastfeeding friendly I can wear again.

I am 5’7 so can stand a longer dress but likely won’t be wearing heels or certainly not high ones.

I like most colours, I have chestnut brown hair, very pale skin and green eyes

Thanks to anyone who can suggest styles to try 🤗

M&S website have some lovely dresses at the moment, lots well under £70.
V necked, front opening and floaty skirts.

I think vintage with a flared/swing skirt does well to hide any kind of tum

Collectif is pretty good

Something like this:
www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/product/8398/collectif-mainline-caterina-stars-swing-dress it has stars rather polka dots but not too loud, is button down at the front for easy boob access and can be worn with flats
