I have a family wedding at the end of the summer and I am a bridesmaid. I will be about 2 months postpartum. What kind of gown would be the best fit and I might be breastfeeding (still very undecided lol). I will probably have a c section (due to health concerns). I don't know if that would make a difference. So I guess nothing heavy or detailed in the front. 🤷‍♀️
I don't live in an area where there is a gemach and don't live close to the east coast. Preferably would like to get from Amazon and not spend a ton of money. Any links would be much appreciated. Smile

2 weeks after csection? Dont expect to be able to dance at a wedding. It's minimum 6 week recovery after surgery.

Ok I see now you wrote 2 months

I'm 2 months postpartum and I still look very "poofed"--and I had a regular delivery. I would look for something with an empire waist to accommodate belly and/or a wrap around or surpliced look for ease of nursing. You might have to pick a priority. If color is not an issue than I would go for a darker color such as navy/black, but if you need a specific color I would look for a "darker" version--salmon rather than peach, or rose/mauve instead of light pink, purple rather than lavender. It will be more flattering.

Asos have some really nice bridesmaid dresses in the maternity line. I would say anything with empire waist and if possible a stretchy material so it doesn't irritate.
I had a similar thing last year. I was only 3 weeks pp tho. I ended up ordering a dress by a make called mamalicious which was a nursing dress. I wore a cropped shell under (which is so much easier generally for nursing) and although it wasn't my favorite dress, it did make life soo much easier. My sil, whose ds was about 6mo wore a regular gown and had to find a side room to take off her dress when she needed to nurse.
My dress was similar to this one-I like the way it has a panel in the front to lift up and slits under
