Help! I need a pretty nursing blouse/dress

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I'm going to a wedding in August, and my daughter will be 4.5mo. I know I'll have to nurse at some point. Right now my clothing inventory is more playground than pretty. I'm trying to find a nice nursing blouse or nursing dress to wear that is modest and discreet without looking like a burlap sack or highlighting the fact that I have breasts the size of Saturn or that I haven't lost the baby weight yet.

I'm a 34G/H. All the tops I have found so far are too casual for this wedding, which will be semi-formal. Thankfully, I'm not *in* the wedding, but my son and husband will both be in the wedding, and my daughter will be in a gorgeous dress. I don't want to look like I'm going to a PTA meeting.

Anyone have any leads they can share with me?

I would suggest a pretty summer skirt, tank top (maybe laced lined so its a little more fancy ) and a blouse over that. This way you can easily open up your blouse in public and lift only your tank to nurse.

ETA: some glam accessories and going all out with your hair will help to style-up your outfit just in case you don't find anything entirely wedding appropriate. Neutral colors can also look more formal especially when jazzed up with a bling-bling neckace and earrings

look for regular dresses with a neckline that can be pulled down, then wear a light little cardigan over top. with your requirements, i wouldn't hold my breath to find a decent looking nursing dress, just not enough selection. i've had great luck with a low v-neck in a stretchy fabric and then something to hide the boob spillage.
