Breastfeeding dresses

Our Breastfeeding dresses allow you to breastfeed without undressing, thanks to a hidden double zipper opening on the sides. Knit, cotton, spaghetti straps, or long sleeves: each dress can be worn during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, and long afterward.

Why wear a " Breastfeeding dress "?

Because a dress is the easiest outfit to put on: just one piece, no need to think about what to pair it with. With the side zippers, you can breastfeed in just a few seconds, without lifting the fabric or exposing your stomach.

It also works for any time of day: casual with sneakers, or dressier with ankle boots and a coat.

What styles are included in the collection?

The collection features ten dresses:

• knit dresses (GEORGIA, GABY, MARINIÈRE, Marissa), ranging from €76 to €86;
• the OLIVIA cotton dress, for about 65 €;
• TULUM dresses, for about 57 €;
• The GABRIEL and INDIA strappy dresses, priced at about €62.

How does the process of opening an " Breastfeeding dress " work?

Each dress has two side zippers, one on each side of the chest. To breastfeed, simply unzip the side you're feeding from: your baby can access your breast, and the rest of the dress stays in place.

Once zipped up, the zippers are barely noticeable, and the dress looks like a classic style. This makes breastfeeding in public much more comfortable. For more tips, read our practical guide to breastfeeding in public.

Which fabric should you choose depending on the season?

knit dresses are warm and soft, perfect for fall through spring. Cotton dresses or strappy dresses are great for warm days, whether worn on their own or with a cardigan.

To stay comfortable throughout the seasons, layer your outfit: a nursing sweater on top, tights in the winter, and a light cardigan in between seasons.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size. Please note: Some styles run small, such as the GEORGIA dress, for which the product description recommends choosing one size smaller. Always read the product description before making your selection.

The product descriptions also list the mannequin's height and size, which is helpful for comparing them to your body type.

Can you wear these dresses while you're pregnant?

Yes, several styles are maternity-friendly, including the GABY dress in " knit " and the INDIA dresses. Their cuts accommodate your growing belly, and you can continue to wear them while breastfeeding.

It's a smart choice: the same dress can be worn both before and after giving birth. Check the description on the product page for each style.

Is it possible to breastfeed discreetly while wearing a dress?

Yes, that's one of its best features. The zipper opens on the side, so your baby is close to you, and no fabric rides up. From the outside, all you see is a mom holding her baby.

How should you wear a " Breastfeeding dress " for a special occasion?

Choose a simple, solid-color style, then accessorize it with jewelry, a belt, or a coat. A burgundy or black " knit " dress works very well for a family dinner or a baptism.

Can you continue to wear them after breastfeeding?

Yes. With the zippers zipped up, they're classic dresses. You'll be able to keep them long after weaning, and they also make a very nice baby shower gift.

How do you maintain a Breastfeeding dress ?

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