Dresses to wear over leggings (breastfeeding friendly)

Probably not stylish at all but I like to wear dresses over leggings when it’s not warm enough for bare legs (I hate tights).

I have a collection of Fat Face Simone dresses in different patterns that I find easy to wear but they are not breastfeeding friendly.

example of style: https://www.fatface.com/style/su762698/h54665?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK_EN_Shopping_B_Unisex_Zombie_Low_X&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23550042879&gclid=CjwKCAiA2PrMBhA4EiwAwpHyC4NtzafVMlbxRHTkuW9t7bGZVbtCv57HwyZGMZDetvxXa1admI1zHxoC03gQAvD_BwE

I’m looking for something in a similar style but more breastfeeding friendly (eg buttons on the front or lower neck). Any suggestions?

Prefer natural fabrics and soft material that doesn’t need ironing. Definitely no polyester.

Have you tried Frugi? I had a few of their dresses when I was BF.

Have you looked at Juno Jacks? They do breastfeeding dresses in a similar style. Some are cotton and polyester mixes, but others are different fabrics.

So hard to find anything that doesnt have polyester in it. In the end I put organic breastfeeding clothing into etsy and it came up with some nice polyester free clothing. But of course anything like that is a lot more expensive.
It might also be worth looking at Cotton Traders as their clothes are largely cotton fabrics.

What about tunics blouses? They’re what my SIL wore. I got her a nice fake snake Zara tunic.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 26/02/2026 11:13

Oh, natural. Monsoon and other hippy brands should do tunics dresses.

Thanks for the great suggestions! I’ll definitely look into ordering the White Stuff ones and tunic style blouses more generally.
