Normal clothes you can breastfeed in - recs?

Any recommendations for normal clothes that are breastfeeding friendly (so loose fitting or button down etc)? After fairly plain things (think capsule wardrobe, no patterns/frills/etc). Happy to spend ££ for a nice button down dress suitable for someone 5ft3, prefer Aline style.

Most breastfeeding specific clothing is hideous!

Wear a vest in the same colour as the top. Lift the top up and pull the vest down then you are always covered ive done two long stints and never bought any breast feeding clothes

I’ve bf 4 children and never wore breastfeeding clothes I just used my normal clothes as long as they were low cut enough to pull down. I didn’t like the two too method personally

As PP I just did an H&M nursing vest under whatever top I was wearing, pull top up, unclip or pull vest down, and no faffing around with trying to find those little gaps you are meant to stick a boob through or whatever, plus it keeps your tummy disguised.

You can get nice breastfeeding-friendly dresses from places like Picalilly but it depends if you like quirky prints or not!

I liked shirt dresses from Monki for feeding. Unbutton a couple of buttons as needed with minimum faff :)

Mountain Warehouse Santorini dresses work well and are usually on sale. Have you had a look at the Facebook group - “can I breastfeed in it?” - lots of ideas on there.
