Breastfeeding friendly outfit for a wedding - in a size 20!

We're off to a wedding in early april, and DS still BFs on and off during the day (some days he'll go from 9-4 without asking, other days he's on and off every hour!) so I need something I can feed in. It doesn't have to be a specific breastfeeding item, but somethingn like a wrap dress that would stretch would be ok - I'm happy feeding over the top and covering with a cardigan etc.

I'm also a size 20 - my problem area is my spare tyre that dresses often cling to (found a lovely wrap dress in monsoon but the 22 was too big around the boobs with my nursing bra and the 20 was too tight around the tummy)

I always make a big effort for weddings- I love dressing up - but my shape has changed since having DS and the breastfeeding issue cuts out a couple of my favourite outfits (one flattering dress in particular that I can't wear)

Anyone got any ideas? TIA!

Hello!

I'm bigger!

I found that wearing a vest-like top underneath that could be pulled down while other top was pulled up revealing a descreet nipple to only to baby worked well.

Also with a cardi that would be mega descreet and also warmer.

Curse the shape changing thing. But hurrah for breastfeeding! You wont be lumping around formular! MWHAHAHhahahhahahhahhahhahaha!

Have a nice time!

I bought this when it was listed as a normal outfit (not maternity!) needless to say it did serve me very well whilst pregnant - and I think would serve you well at a wedding (I wore mine to my cousins wedding when I was very pregnant!).

Good luck

mumble - that's my staple wardrobe - I dropped the BF tops after a few months, realising that the vest thing was generally easier.

The trouble is I guess I really want to wear a dress - I miss dresses!

Helium - that's pretty but not really my wedding style
