Breastfeeding dresses for weddings

Invited to a wedding while you're breastfeeding? Our weddingBreastfeeding dresses let you look elegant all day long—from the ceremony to the evening reception—while making it easy to breastfeed thanks to their hidden double zippers on the sides.

What kinds of dresses do we recommend for a wedding?

• the INDIA (black, burgundy) and GABRIEL strapless dresses, priced at around €62, which are easy to pair with a jacket or shawl;
• the TULUM, TULUM Brick, and CANCUN dresses, with their flowing silhouettes, perfect for a summer wedding;
• knit 's GEORGIA, GABY, and MARINIÈRE dresses—elegant choices for a fall or winter wedding;
• the OLIVIA cotton dress, the COCO polo dress, and the LEOPARD dress for a more casual look.

How to Choose a Guest Dress?

First, consider the season and the venue: a flowing dress for an outdoor summer wedding, or a " knit " dress with tights for winter. Next, choose a classic color: black, burgundy, or beige are all good choices for formal occasions.

Avoid white and colors that are too similar to the bride's. A leopard print is more appropriate for the evening reception than for the ceremony.

How does the opening work?

Each dress has two side zippers—one on each side of the chest—hidden in the seam. You open the nursing side, your baby can access your breast, and the dress stays in place.

No need to adjust your neckline or pull up your clothes—your outfit will look flawless in photos. For more tips, read our article on discreet breastfeeding.

How should you organize feedings during a wedding?

Breastfeed right before the ceremony, find a quiet spot for subsequent feedings, and have a loved one watch your baby during key moments if you’d like. Bring nursing pads and a washcloth for any little accidents.

If you're bringing your baby along, set aside a spot to change and put them to sleep. With a dress that has zippers, you can breastfeed quickly without leaving the party.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size. Please note: The GEORGIA dress runs small; the product description recommends choosing one size smaller. Always read the product description before ordering.

Choose a size that you feel comfortable in while sitting after a meal.

What accessories should you wear to a wedding?

Subtle jewelry, a clutch, comfortable shoes (you'll be on your feet for a long time), and a jacket or shawl for the cool evening air. A shawl can also be used as a cover while breastfeeding.

Can you wear them while pregnant?

Yes, for the INDIA dresses (maternity and nursing dresses) and the GABY dress, which is listed as suitable for pregnancy. For the others, please refer to the product page.

Can you wear them after the wedding?

Yes. With the zippers closed, these are classic dresses that you'll keep for all your special occasions, long after weaning.

How do you care for a party dress?

Wash it at 30°C on the delicate cycle, inside out with the zippers closed. Avoid the dryer, especially for the knit, and lay flat to dry. Specific instructions are listed on each product page.

How long does it take for the clothing to be shipped?

Clothing is shipped within 48 business hours. For items with custom embroidery, please allow up to about eight business days. Be sure to place your order well in advance of the wedding date.

What is the return policy?

You have 14 days after receipt to request a refund for an item that does not meet your expectations; exchanges are not permitted. Personalized items with embroidery cannot be returned or refunded. Please contact our customer service team in advance at bonjour@23maiparis.com.
