I need dress help! (especially girls big up top)
so I tried on some dresses this weekend....NOT GOOD!
Because of BFing my girls are in a size all their own and I don't know what cut to look for!
I managed to be able to fit into a dress like this though, so I need so more dress suggestions

I would go for a halter style dress opposed to a strapless if you are having problems with the girls....

I agree. No strapless. Do you have to have a dress? I could not wear them when I was BFing. I had to find nice coordinate pieces because I was 2 differents sizes on top and bottom.

Do you need to wear a bra? I would assume so. Then I'd look for something with tank straps, and not empire waisted. Certain dress just have more boob room, like Donna Rico dresses.
If it's not a super fancy event, you could do with something with a little give, like matte jersey.
You probably want something with a little shape though, so your large chest doesn't make the rest of you look large.

I had to buy a big dress, then get it tailored to fit.

Definately halter! The only dress that looks flattering on me at all. Even my wedding gown was a halter.

Re: I need dress help! (especially girls big up top)
A halter, good idea! This is very pretty!...
I don't think I will BF during the Baptism, will bring a bottle and pump if needed, but hoping I can wait until we get home, (probably 6hours).
I definitely need boob room. I thought about getting a bigger dress, then alter, cause anything that fits the boobs hangs everywhere else.
Thanks for the suggestions!!!!

If you don't pump you will be very full so make sure leave some room for that.

Re: I need dress help! (especially girls big up top)
Big question is: Do you need the dress for an event where you need to breastfeed? I picked a dress that had a low neckline that I could shove off my shoulder just enough to get my breast out. You can't hike an entire dress up to breastfeed and be discreet!

Could you imagine
No I think I would be able to wait until I got home to either feed or just pump
