My brother is getting married in a few months and it has been stipulated that we should wear formal attire. I'm still going to be breastfeeding. I've had a quick look on the internet and can't seem to find any nursing formal type dresses. Can anyone suggest where I might find one?

I had a formal church wedding to attend when DS was 10weeks old, don't assume that formal = dress ;)

I wore some nice black slacks and a really lovely satin top in a style that would still allow me to breastfeed in.

However if you ARE wanting to wear a dress, there are a few around, check THIS (http://topsecretmaternity.com.au/Sale.php) website out as a place to start, I have linked you to the sale page, so depending on what size you are the styles may vary but there are some nice dresses listed in the various sizes that would be lovely paired with some nice heels and some jewellery for lovely formal wear :)

I looked in the Bubhub directory for maternity formal wear places and found a few great dresses (brand Szabo), that were flattering and great for breastfeeding. I went to a weddy when DD1 was 4mths old and I certainly needed to breastfeed her a couple of times throughout the wedding and reception.
