Anyone seen anything smart? My entire wardrobe neess to offer easy boob access these days (for bfing, not nooky). Ideally something lovely and smart I can wear to a couple of weddings and a christening this summer...

Hello - I'm new and would like to know the answer to this too so will watch with interest. I'm thinking wrap dresses but they can look really frumpy if they fall below the knee... Sorry, not very helpful.

I'm wearing [http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Pied+a+Terre+Silk+bow+waist/134526712,default,pd.html?cgid=301 this] to a wedding next week, works perfectly for BFing and goes with any colour of accessories. HTH!

That's lovely - what shoes are you wearing with it?

I also tried this on whilst searching but am too large of nork for it - tis a bit more weddingy than the grey one i think and also stretchy so ideal for feeding. The grey one fits me perfectly in my normal size 12 in spite of enormous boobage and in my humble opinion looks much better on a more womanly figure, rather than the skinny lady in the picture!

Loopy, I wonder if you are going to bf in public by taking your boob out of a V-necked dress. I have bf-ed in public everywhere, even weddings and churches, but I have to say that that is not the most discreet.

Love, love, love that dress gingerk have ordered it online to try (30% off and free postage!) - would work for lots of different things I reckon. Your shoes are funky, will liven up the dress which, though fab, is rather sober.

blueshoes yes intend to take boob out of dress but will have pashmina to hand for discretion. I know a lot of people prefer the top up, vest down approach. But for a dressy occasion what else can you do? I usuaklly find somewhere quiet to do it anyway and this just saves having to pull my whole dress of. I will avoid standing in the pulpit facing out while I do it though...

@ blueshoes and loopy - did I not mention my pashmina - friend of breastfeeding wedding guests the world over! Is a fabulous cornflower blue colour and I have coordinating venetian glass jewellery Thus there will be no nork exposure

Blimey, I was never brave enough to do boob over the top of an outfit.
The stretched veiny mammary look was not one I felt good with-more of a side access girl meself but hey! Great dress/

@ Moondog My stretch marks will coordinate nicely with the blue pashmina

Loopy we will both look gorgeous

Just popping back to say, Wedding was yesterday and dress worked a treat! Wore a posh Phase 8 cami underneath to avoid excess boob/nursing bra exposure and I was able to pull both aside to unclip bra and latch DD on. Pashmina saved modesty - not mine as i don't have much, but that of other wedding guests! I don't have a single pic of me on the day or I would post one. 11wk old DD did me incredibly proud too
