Help, I need a dress for a wedding that will cover postnatal tummy and giant milky boobs

I'm maid of honour at a gay wedding in two weeks' time, I have just given birth a week ago so need to find something to wear pdq, which will 1) allow easy breastfeeding, 2) cover giant milky norks and 3) hide flabby tummy.

I am 5ft 3in, fairly petite apart from postnatal bulges, but am blessed with somewhat short and chunky legs. Fair skin and hair, well-toned arms and cannot understate just how big my boobs are atm (a G cup at least).

Haven't got time for internet shopping in case what I buy doesn't fit, so really need to be able to get it from one of my local shops -- that's H&M, River Island, Top Shop, Oasis, New Look, Next or Dorothy P. As it's a gay civil ceremony I want something quite funky and not too showy.

Please help me, I am hopeless in matters of style...

Betty Jackson Fuschia Linen dress. And wear it with a black shrug (with ties that hang down to disguise your tummy) with a giant fuschia corsage (good distraction)?

Sorry I can't link the dress but my browser keeps crashing - you will find it on the site. It's nice I was looking at it the other day and it's perfect for giant knockers!

Congratulations on your new baby.

I love this shirt dress from Next. I wore a shirt dress with the top buttons undone and a camisole underneath for a wedding when I was BFing and it worked well.

Thanks both.

That Betty Jackson dress is gorgeous but sadly no Debenhams nearby, also not sure how easy it would be to whop out a boob in.

I like that Next dress, will see if they have it in the local store.

Any more suggestions?

Get some spanx for the postnatal tummy. They will make you feel super slim and amazing. Then it's easier finding a dress. Have a lovely time

I've had two orders from Bravissimo this month and both came within two days. They also do free returns.
