The first of my brothers is getting married in Marchbut I am starting to worry about what on earth I will wear! I was out with my mum yesterday and stumbled upon something for her in DJ's which got me thinking about my dress....
The situation: DS2 is due December 30 so will probably be somewhere between 8 and 12 weeks for the wedding. I will have enormous boobs (about an E cup) and will be breastfeeding. The wedding is in North Western NSW and we will be traveling to stay out there for a few days (in a motel). My gorgeous SiL to be is fine with me bf at any point during the wedding ceremony/reception ( and told my bf boob phobic bro to deal with it) The wedding will be VERY fancy and I will be in lots of family photos that will be on display in several homes for years to come, so I've gotta look good!
It has to be a ****tailish dress, or at least look like one. No pants, button up shirt senario (I hate pants at a wedding anyway) it needs to be a nice fabric so not cotton or that shiny stretchy stuff they make Maxi dresses out of (which I hate anyway too) I can't "make do" with a regular maxi dress iykwim, I'd feel really inappropriately dressed. And of course I'll still have a bit (or a lot) of a belly... Its impossible. I've been googling for bf dresses but they are all maternity tent dresses and just not "nice" enough. I've seen some skirt/top combos but they seem to be "suits" bleugh or made for women my mums age (I'll be 34 at the wedding) i can have a dress altered to help make it bf friendly (ie make the straps detachable etc) but I havent even seen 1 dress that would be okmost have high necks, are strapless (Ill need a bra) or have two itty bitty triangles to cover the boob area and I'll be busting out all over!
I'm generally a size 14 so can shop most places...anyone have any ideasany face dress shops/sites/designers? I know I could have something made, but I hate not knowing what something will look like on me before I choose it iykwim?
I know I'm incredibly fussy but it's a really important day for the whole family...
