BF-friendly outfit for January wedding

I'm going to a friend's wedding in January and have nothing suitable for breastfeeding while I'm there. Has anyone seen anything that might do? I thought a smart wrap dress but they seem to have gone out of fashion so the only ones I can find on the internet are a bit maiden-auntish.
I would advise wearing separates, with nice vest/cami or feeding vest underneath so you can easily hoik that bit down and the top bit up. I live in my Bravado feeding tanks, and they look lovely as well, and come in a few different colours.
I bought a special nursing dress for my daughter's christening a few weeks ago. The dress itself was lovely, but I wish I'd road-tested it before hand.....the bf 'slits' weren't very easy to get to and the shape of them meant that it was nigh impossible for poor little DD to feed discreetly without also getting mouthful of cloth. So I ended up having to keep retreating to a corner at the party where I could pull the dress down at one side, which rather defeated the object of buying it......
knee length, and i'm quite tall so that's great! i wore it with a black and red brocade coat, 'twas gorgeous...

Ooh that's nice Kittycat - how long is it?
I bought
this to wear to my DD's christening last weekend - it's a Grecian style mock-wrap dress with hidden breastfeeding holes, comes in loads of colours, and can be glammed up with a gorgeous shawl of jacket... I also have it in Lilac and Navy cos its sooooo gorgeous!! Much nicer than the pic!
Good luck with the shopping...
I know when I went to a christening when EBF I really wanted to wear a dress but honestly it was a bit of a nightmare and I wish I'd worn a nice top and skirt! I had to practically take the dress off to feed so I ended up running off to the toilets all the time - not very nice - until someone lent me a shawl and then I sat there in a little tent

Have you seen this site, not used it but it's a good idea.

Josie, missed the longtall part of your name!! I am a little shortie. Hope you do find something suitable

Isla, the Ted Baker dress is utterly gorgeous but at my height I think it would either have to be worn over trousers or risk showing my knickers!
Sofaking, I didn't look at John Lewis but am wondering about the Planet one. I've never bought anything from Planet (always thought of it as an older brand) but it's not black, which is a good thing. Will also look out for Confuzzled's H&M dress as well. Thanks everyone!
I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and wore a tea dress from H&M that had buttons down the front. It was Navy but came in red too. I just jazzed it up with hot pink shoes and necklace from New Look. It was easy to feed it and ds was only 6 weeks so he was still being a messy eater

Good Luck
How about any of
these?
I agree a wrap dress is great to feed in. If you put a nice cami/vest underneath you aren't really exposed.
The kaliko one is half price on their own website BTW.
I have a FWM wrap dress and it really hides a multitude of sins!
