What to wear for a Special Occasion

When you're getting ready for your baby’s Christening or the wedding of the year, choosing your outfit is the most exciting yet agonising part of the preparations. For any woman, finding the stylish solution to formalwear is a tricky one but for new Breastfeeding mums the search is even harder.

At Bella Mama we are frequently asked about dresses which are suitable for wearing at Christenings, Weddings and other special occasions. As a new mum you want to wear something girlie and glamorous, that makes you feel fabulous but also allows you to breastfeed your little one easily. You want to wear your beautiful dress and you don’t want to leave the party to sit in the ladies room when your baby is hungry!

The perfect solution to breastfeeding in public with confidence is a dress which has been specially designed to provide easy nursing access. Bella Mama offers the best selection in the UK of nursing dresses suitable for all kinds of special occasions.

Here is a selection of our favourites:

Bella Mama Criss Cross Black

One of our most popular dresses is the Criss Cross Dress from Annee Matthew.  Made from slinky fabric, this simply gorgeous dress has crisscross panels to hide the nursing openings underneath. The dress has been such a hit with new mums, it is incredibly flattering and dresses up beautifully. The flattering design hugs your figure at the right places, and can also be worn during pregnancy, ensuring the dress is extra-good value! Beautiful jewellery and a wrap finish this dress perfectly. Available in classic black or stylish golden olive.

Bella Mama Dote Noir Black

One of Bella Mama’s newest designers is Dote Nursingwear. The Noir Dress has just flown out of the store, and no wonder as it is simply divine. The dress has a gathering across the neckline and skirt, disguising any post-baby tummy. It can be accessorised with a belt or sparkly scarf, giving an edgy fashionable look.

Bella Mama Gercian Mauve

Another exceptionally popular dress with new mums is the Gercian dress from Annee Matthew. The fabulous side ruching camoflages the tummy area while the A-cut skirt provides ample room for the hips area and a wonderful swishy movement. We love it! A simple crossover wrap detail to hide the nursing openings underneath. Accessorised with sparkly jewellery and a pashmina this is just perfect for special occasions. Available in navy, dark red and mauve.
