formal breastfeeding dress Cocoon Nursing Dress (Velvet Blue)

Structured horsehair trim turns the tulle skirt of this lace-bodice dress into a poofy and whimsical dream

As any one of the 600,000-plus visitors who took in last year's Alexander McQueen retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute could tell you, the house's extravagantly fanciful dresses are even more mindbogglingly magnificent when viewed up-close

The rose hue flatters every skin tone, while the lightweight layers beautifully with a denim jacket or cozy cardigan for those cooler moments
