Please if anyone can help I would be so grateful, I've been searching for weeks. I need a gown to wear to a formal black tie wedding that has easy nursing access. I can't spend a lot of money, and it is for a non-frum wedding so it should be something that wouldn't look too frumpy/unstylish in the secular world. I'm roughly a size 16, still look pregnant  . I've tried finding separates, I don't have a regular gown that I could add zippers to, no gemach nearby, and I'm starting to panic. Can anyone link anything? I would be so grateful. Thank you.

Can't your husband unzip your gown for the 2 times you need to nurse during the wedding?

That button satin dress with the ruched front. Every brand makes it.

Not quite formal enough for a black tie wedding

We are in the wedding party, need to be early for pics, last to leave, long drive, etc. I'm going to need to nurse a lot. Baby wants to nurse every 2 hours

I worked so hard to make a gown nursing friendly for my sibling’s wedding. I had a little newborn who was nursing every 2 hours.
It was still a pain to nurse in.
I still had to go to the bathroom to nurse.
I spent a small fortune and I hated how the gown looked in the end. It was so much cuter beforehand.
Ever since then, I wear what I feel comfortable in. What I look good in. And I figure out a way to get someone to unzip the back or I go into a stall and pick it up.
For the 2-4 times you will nurse, it’s not worth driving yourself crazy.

I got a low V neck from Nordstrom and a matching shell. I needed privacy to nurse but it worked without removing anything.

I don't have any links to share but I've been to close weddings with a newborn. Don't drive with the gown on. Feed baby when you arrive before getting dressed so that'll give you a couple hours. Same at the end, change clothes before feeding baby & leaving. That'll leave you probably with 1 feeding in the middle. Or 2. It's often easier to change out of the gown into a hoodie & slinky skirt etc to nurse & then slip back into the gown.
