 Topic: Help! Nursing dress
Posted: 26 June 2011 at 9:35pm |

I have a wedding to go to in September, the dress code is cocktail. I am looking for a breastfeeding dress but have no idea where to start. We live in AKL. Any ideas much appreciated!

There are some options at Pregoli. It's an online business located in Chch though so you wouldn't be able to try before you buy...could return/exchange though if it wasn't what you wanted.
Also - what about Egg Maternity? I'm pretty sure they'd have breastfedding options too and a store in Auckland.

I find breastfeeding clothing so ridiculously priced so I just opt for dresses with a nice shaped neckline, a deep v or something like that.

I was a bridesmaid while breastfeeding and our dresses were strapless. I just took a big tshirt with me...when it came to feeding time, I put the tshirt on over my dress then undid the dress and folded it down to my waist under the tshirt. worked perfectly! Might need a little help doing your bra and dress up afterwards, but it was no drama.

I managed to score a cheap maternity wrap dress at Savemart- have you thought about trying somewhere like that?
I also have bought a dress from Mummy Maternity for a wedding- there's not a huge range but I was lucky to find something in my size that I love.
Mama2Be has a pop up shop selling some end of lines- its based in Grey Lynn (2A Hakanoa Street) so could be worth a look?

Have you had a look at Asos.com? Free worldwide shipping and the exchange rate is fab at the moment. I'm gutted I didn't find this site until after I have no use for maternity clothes! These are a few nursing dresses I found under the sale section:
 23 pounds ($50NZ)
 15 pounds
 20 pounds
 21 pounds

Thank you for all the great ideas!- especially the money saving ones. I thought I would just have to pay heaps for something that looked nice, which was annoying as I'll probably only wear it once - so it's great to get some possible places to find a nice dress at a good price :)

Whatever you do, don't go near Maternity Direct. They've had so much bad feedback lately... orders arriving with items missing, different style sent, refunds taking ages etc. Just a heads up.
