Help! I need a nursing friendly (probably cross front) dress I can wear in this summer heat. I would prefer short but a maxi could work and j have to be able to wear a nursing bra underneath (no spaghetti strap or strapless). Looking to stay under $80 if possible. Help!!

@T.H.O.U.: Not sure where you live of what style you like but here's a couple options I thought were cute!

Lots of options and price points here:
http://www.milkandbaby.com/collections/nursing-dressesSome cute ones here too!
http://www.figure8maternity.com/cat/nursing-dressesGood luck finding something

I have this one in the blue and black and love it! I know you didn't want the maxi, but this dress is so comfortable and I would think perfect for nursing.

i was just looking at some clothes from milk nursing wear:

-
@edelweiss: I have a dress from milk and love it! Super comfy.
-
Ugh this has been my problem! I had exactly ONE button down shirt dress but I think it won't button with my big milky boobs anyway haha~
My sister just gifted me a dress from Gap -
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1004478&vid=1&pid=516118002And I just ordered another shirt dress and wrap dress from ON.
-
@snowjewelz: I saw that dress from the gap. It looked perfect but the print isn't quite my style
-
@T.H.O.U.: Yeah one of the dress I ordered I don't love... But I am so desperate for dresses that will work with nursing haha!

I know you prefer no maxi dresses, but if you change your mind, these are working well for me. I have them in two colors and really like them. The only issue is that I'm 5'2" and I need to get them hemmed. Not a big deal, though, since I plan on wearing them all the time this summer. http://www.target.com/p/maternity-sleeveless-maxi-dress-liz-lange-for-target/-/A-16463569

I have this dress and it's perfect for nursing. I am a 34F and I have enough coverage (in the pics it looks like the waist sits lower on the model than on me, my bust fills the whole top if that makes sense.)
It's the first 4 dresses in the search results here:

Lands end has a bunch of similar dresses that might work. I have one of these in black jersey and it's pretty stretchy:

I second the suggestions for Lands End dresses!
-
@Cole: I love these. I may have to order one!
-
@jetsa: I've found that Lands End runs big, just FYI!
-
@TemperanceBrennan: thank you!
-
maybe you could have someone hem a maxi dress you love to the right length for you? it would be pretty simple for anyone with sewing skills!
-
@whenoceansrise: Do you own that H&M dress? It's cute. Wondering how easy it is for nursing.
-
Eddie Bauer has a few that I may try to order

I wear this dress from Old Navy allll the time (I'm 25wks pregnant) - don't know how it would be for BF but I would think good since it crosses in the front. It's super casual though and VERY COOL (important to me since I live in south FL and it's 5 million degrees!).
I have it in black and you can dress it up with some jewelry, etc. The blue and pink ones are more casual.
-
@PawPrints: I don't have it! It's on my list of things to test out!
-
@T.H.O.U.: I just ordered these from Amazon to try since they were cheap!
http://amzn.com/B00QYBLQ7K
http://amzn.com/B00ICG3LLO
http://amzn.com/B00I9XRZGCI refuse to buy anything over $50 since I don't even know how long I'd be nursing/pumping for!
-
@snowjewelz: Let us know how they work out! I especially like the first one.
-
@MrsADS: cute! How does it hold up after washing? Is it like see through thin?
I got the Eddie Bauer cross front and I love it. It is a little low cut but I can add a cami
-
@T.H.O.U.: Nice! From the pic I wouldn't think the v is low enough to nurse in!
-
@snowjewelz: like the second one! Let me know how it is.
-
@simplyfelicity: @regberadaisy: Got them yesterday.. . I had DH take pics of me in them but they came out horrible (he clearly does not understand hahaha), so I'll re-do them tonight!
