  A dress is tough unless you are able to pull it down from the top as you don't want to lift your whole dress up. I have several v neck jersey dresses that work well for that. I normally wear my normal clothes with a nursing tank underneath.

  I feel you. I've been wearing v neck tshirts from old navy since my first was born in 2012.

  My TTC History:

  2009: missed miscarriage #1 at 9 weeks (trisomy 16)
  2010: Infertility

  2011: Diagnosis and treatment (low sperm count, anastrozole for DH, clomid for me + IUI)

  2012: Baby #1

  2014: Baby #2
  October 2015: missed miscarriage #2 at 11 weeks (trisomy 22)

  March 2016 BFP#5, due November 2016.

  Ditto normal clothes with a nursing tank underneath. I find that's also more discreet than shirts that pull down from the neck, because the top layer kind of acts as a semi-nursing cover.

  As pp said dresses are hard.  I think button down shirts are hard as well. 
  
  For me, I typically wear a nursing bra and then any top I can pull up.

  The fly away sweater look is pretty easy.  Wear a tank under an open sweater and you can have easy access.  I didn't really wear dresses at all until DS stopped nursing.

  a button down with a tank under, or a sweater over a tank. I have been wearing a nursing tank everyday for 9 months now

  I like wrap dresses for nursing / pumping. Just takes a little adjusting after to make sure you are closed up. I used nursing tanks at first then switched to old navy's "tami" tank. You can can a sale and get a bunch for cheap. They pull down easily and don't get stretched out at all. I wear them under pretty much anything and can NIP easily!

  Hi, I'm a FTM of a 7 week old, and I ran into the same problem! So I ordered these tops (one in each color LOL) last week and will try NIP the first time this weekend in it. Hope they work well and
  since they don't scream maternity, I'm wondering if they can be worn as a regular top after she weans. I'm frugal like that https://www.target.com/p/maternity-short-sleeve-nursing-friendly-top-liz-lange-for-target/-/A-15430795#prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=nursing+top
  
  ETA:I posted the wrong link at first. I also got the Henley nursing tanks from Target, and they work well.

  I wear a nursing tank with any top layered over it. If you miss dresses, try a cute top with a skirt?

  Some dresses work out ok to nurse in but I baisically lived in a nursing tank with a tee over it until DD was about 13 months or so and I could wait to get to the car to nurse. I just didn't like the exposure (though in the hot months I just did the tank and I didn't care too much. I was a little embarrassed but I was a lot hot).
  
  I found pretty scarves to accessorize with or I wore the tank and tee with a skirt. It felt more feminine sometimes than just jeans and a tee with the nursing tank underneath.
  
  Now at 19 months she rarely nurses in public and my wardrobe is more diverse.
  
  If you want to spend a little money there are many beautiful nursing dresses available all over the Internet. I looked into it and decided that it wasn't worth it for me but I kind of wish I had had the extra cash back then to mix up my wardrobe a little.

  I have a few nursing dresses from figure8maternity.com. I gave huge boobs 36 H, so I need to wear nursing dresses. I get most of my nursing clothes from there. They are a bit pricey though.
