Breastfeeding dress

Anyone know where I can find a decent breastfeedng dress? Am still fat post-baby, and can't bear the thought of searching for trousers and a dressy top. If I could have a decent dress, shoes and a hair-do then I'll feel half human. It's for a daytime family gathering. And I am a pear-shaped size 16 . A nice below-thigh tunic and trousers would do, can't see anything decent in the shops. Well, in the 3 minutes I get to run in and out of the shops.
Thanx!

i'm a similar size/shape to you i used to (well still do even though not bf anymore!) wear wrap dresses, usually from monsoon, with vest top underneath. could loosen dress wrap and pull down, and lift vest top up so barely any norkage on show at all. means you have more choice than just from specific bf dresses.

Thanx. Will look at monsoon. Would love to lose the weight but am so flipping knackered... Someday!

I like the Jojo ones. Couldn't find any nice wrap dresses recently when I needed one (am also pear-shaped 16). Bara Glad do tunic-like dresses (knee length) but better for winter than sunshine.

Thanks. I find it v difficult to find decent stuff, being the pear that I am.
I remember being measured in a shop for a dress, they ddn't have my size, and the owner was ringing a branch to see if they ahd it. She loudly read out my measurements. The other side of the phone obviously went 'WHAT?' and the line must've been really bad, cos the lady in the shop said, 'YES. WE'RE VERY PEAR' To everyone in the whole country, it seemed. Thankfully I was feeling quite nice that day, pear and all

Babes With Babies have a decent selection. I bought this one for a wedding but still wear it a lot now - very comfy and flattering.
