I had mentioned in previous posts about converting this dress to be able to breastfeed in it. I did it! I wore it once or twice before it got too cold and now the entire family had been struck with a bad flu/cold, so I will not model it here. And sorry for the crappy iphone photos but it looks like this now:
I did these:
- separate the bodice from the skirt. I kept the small elastic band at the bottom of the bodice.
- even out the skirt from the top to make sure its the same length all around (used to be longer in the front to cover tummy properly)
- put elastic band through top of the skirt – now you have a skirt!
- put hook and eye on side and back of the waist so that the bodice can connect to the skirt.
This works really well for me -much better than on the dummy. I think its because I am pretty high-waisted and I still have a tummy from the pregnancy- so the skirt elastic band tend to stay right below my bust. When I wear it, it only shows two slivers of skin on the back – actually looks pretty cool. When I need to breastfeed I just pull up the front. When Im done I pull the top down, and it stays there because of the elastic.
Bonus – I can also wear the skirt standalone! The only thing I wish I did differently here is that I wish i made a thinner waistband for the skirt. Having a thicker waist band changes the look of the outfit a little. Other than that I’ve worn this out and successfully breastfeed and look cute at the same time! 🙂

good idea! I miss wearing dresses, this is a very clever idea. I was thinking of making a matching top/skirt to be able to nurse, this gives me necessary encouragement, thank you.
This is a fantastic idea!!
Fabulous idea! Very clever save, and I think it looks very cute as a skirt/top set 🙂
