Then you just have to untie or unsnap and have easy access. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090462 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 20:08:10 +0000 MrsKoala 2090462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it. I just got a dress where I could unzip and peel it down so that I had access. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090412 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:43:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2090412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped in a bridesmaid dress (so yeah. More than $50. :( ). It had straps but I unzipped and pulled down to my waist and laid a flannel receiving blanket over the whole dress. Removed regular bra, put on pumping bra. But I was in a private bridal suite, not the car. I'd bring a towel to cover the dress if you have space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090356 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:55:31 +0000 jedeve 2090356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: and satin-y fabrics show wet spots a lot more than every day fabrics!</p> <p>Show us what you end up picking out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090355 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:54:05 +0000 rattles 2090355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just undressed from the top to pump and threw an A&amp;A around me for cover. Chic, no. Functional, yup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090304 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:04:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2090304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do strapless! You'd just have to unzip the back and pull it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090303 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:04:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 2090303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>but that's a good point - a big wet spot is still embarrassing, hahaha. I didn't think of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090301 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:03:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 2090301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I guess there's a $5 insurance fee for minor stains or damage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090289 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 15:55:18 +0000 jedeve 2090289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pack a cover and just undress from the top down. You wouldn't want to risk a spill stain! (Actually I don't know how rent the runway works, if they charge you for stains.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-dress-pumping#post-2090286 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 15:49:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 2090286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a wedding in April and will need to pump in the car. I have been browsing rent the runway, but I am having trouble finding ones I like that would allow me 'easy access.'</p> <p>Has anyone done this before? tips? small budget (&lt; $50, max). </p>
