I wore a posh skirt and top last time I had to go to a wedding and breastfeed
Much easier

Yep I'd second the skirt and top idea - add a pashmina for glamour and easy cover up in one go! Not so good a look once covered in baby puke like mine was though!

Also have this problem and cant find a smart enough top which I can feed in which looks ok with post baby tummy (DS2 only 11 weeks).
Any ideas anyone?
(Smocks/tunics etc not smart enough really)

Good description yellofrin, if a bit depressing! Am still pondering how to dress said "empty handbag" for the wedding in question....

I got a couple of nice wrap dresses on ebay.

They're not specifically breastfeeding dresses but I have a rooti tooti vest top I wear under them.

i have this - wore it for a party with trousers underneath

the boob tops and dresses are great if you want to feed discreetly

shopping all day to day sore feet and seriously bored baby. managed to get a lovely cardigan and a nice chamisole. Tutter that dress is gorgeous sadly only available in a small and that handbag of mine is maybe more the size of a weekend bag . Thanks ladies, Pannacotta hope u find something.

Glad you are sorted yellowfrin.
Out of interest has anyone tried a breastfeeding cami/vest top?
Can't find any smart tops for the wedding which I could feed in, so am going to get a nursing vest and wear with a shrug, just not sure which one to go for, there are lots to choose from....
(Bl Marv, Mamaway, Mamatoto etc etc)
