Can you make a strapless dress work while breastfeeding?

[Matsikula]

Going to a wedding evening do in a few weeks, and the only thing in my wardrobe I really want to wear is an off-the-shoulder dress (have another more demure outfit might do for another wedding the next day). I've also recently bought a more casual strapless dress that I'd really like to wear with bare shoulders when it gets warmer.

The problem is that I've never really liked strapless bras, and am nervous about wearing an underwire while breastfeeding. Is there such a thing as a wire free strapless bra that would give support (and would keep boob pads in)?

Grateful for any ingenious suggestions....

if the bra fits properly there is no issue with wearing underwires

Won't you look practically naked while breastfeeding?

I wore a strapless dress to a wedding and breastfed, just had a pashmina/ shawl thing for discretion ... not sure about the bras but you could always remove the underwires!

you'd have to be very brave. prob inappropriate imo.

waterfall cardigan and try breast feeding in your underwired bra for a day if your performance and flow don't seem affected then use it its only one day.

i got at my postnatal group when they discovered i dont wear a nursing bra in bed, I wear a vest or even worse let them flop around willy nilly and uncontained - so i think if your dress makes you feel glam and you feel you can feed appropriately in it - wear it.

Ahh - slight confusion - it's not necessarily for actually breastfeeding in while wearing the dress (junior won't be coming to the wedding, though I guess I could wear the other dress with a waterfall cardigan). It's more a question of having a bra that stays up and keeps me up....

I actually have a basque that the wire somehow got twisted in and I was thinking of throwing out, so I'll give taking the wire out a go first - hadn't thought of that. No expenditure involved, excellent.

Wires shouldn't be harmful if the bra fits well, honestly. I used to be a fitter, so I do know.
