We have a couple of weddings at the beach to attend in September. I have no idea what to wear! Any ideas? Bonus points if they're maxi length since I'll be chasing a toddler.

I've found some cute dresses from old navy and lands end has some really cute, nursing friendly maxi dresses.
-
@singingbee: oh wow, I had no idea Land's End had so many cute dresses!
-
@grizz: This is on sale at WHBM:

For more formal options (also from WHBM):

@grizz: What's your budget? I just bought a dress from Boden and the quality is amazing. Love this one and it's perfect for a beach wedding:

I will be honest, I find maxi dresses really difficult when I have to actively chase...I wore a floor length dress and flats to my brother's weddingwhen my son was 18 months old and my legs and skirt were a mess. The chiffon looked horrible midway through because I couldn't keep it organized.
I'd probably start with the shoes and then choose your dress...sounds ridiculous, but are you wearing flats or something with a heel?

@MsLipGloss: I love this last one. I buy in a hot minute if it would work on me.
-
@Smurfette: Me too! But they don't have mah size
ETA: And you don't give yourself enough credit. I think you could totally pull this dress off!
-
@MsLipGloss: That style usually doesn't work with my hips.

Here is a maxi at lands end. Or a shorter dress option.
@cmomma17: I know!!! They have sales all the time and their stuff holds up really well.
-
@Smurfette: Have you seen the movie Spanglish? "Just try on!"
-
@MsLipGloss: Hahahaha I love that scene!! But I'm with @Smurfette: I could never wear that dress. My boobs and spaghetti straps don't agree with each other.
-
@MsLipGloss: I haven't seen that movie
-
Don't know what size you need, but there are other listings http://m.ebay.com/itm/161348696334?nav=SEARCH

@Smurfette: -.- you need a movication!
-
@MsLipGloss: for real! I feel so out of it. Haven't seen so many.
-
@singingbee: that dress is amazing!
-
I just wore this dress to a wedding this past weekend...it was so super comfy and I got several compliments on it.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and it still fit me nicely. The fabric is very forgiving. Here's a pic...sorry for being headless; I don't think my hubby would want me posting our pics online for the world to see. Lol.
Oh, and I added the belt. It came with a thin fabric belt, but I wanted something a bit more dramatic.
-
@ladybee: I love it! I wore it to my sister's graduation and I was still nursing so I needed something that worked with that. It's great to wear even though I'm not nursing anymore.
-
@singingbee: I'm thinking it will be a great family photo dress!
-
@MamaMoose: yeah, I can see how those wee straps might not be up to the task!
-
They have some super cute maxis at Old Navy. Maxis usually don't work on my body, but I found one recently that I really like. I wore it for family pictures this past weekend, and it was really comfy. I bought it in yellow, but I love this print:

@singingbee: another lover of the lands end dresses. They are a staple in my summer wardrobe.
-
These are all awesome! Thank you!
