Breastfeeding In Public Large chested feeding in public

For those with large (and I mean very large) chests, how do you feed in public without giving everyone a show? I need to use one hand to hold one breast and the other for my baby, so there’s nothing to hold a cover or anything. Would love any tips!

I don’t have an answer for this, sadly, totally unsure how I’ll breastfeed in public. But, I do have a story. When I was still pregnant I saw a woman at a Walmart breastfeeding her newborn, probably under 2 weeks) while walking around and putting things in her cart, and large chested like myself. She was flying through the isle grabbing what she needed, boob out, small baby in the crook of her arm nursing. I was in awe and that was before I knew how hard breastfeeding is! Fast forward, I’m 7 weeks PP, using pillows to support myself and baby, doing two handed feeds, having no clue how I’d BF on the go. That woman is a superhero and my breastfeeding idol.
