She said: 'Josephine visited us and seemed happy. She was never told she would spurt milk or to go out on the street.
'We have a waiting area where she would have been fine to breastfeed, with water, chairs and toilet facilities.
'We are very upset by what happened after her visit, Josephine and her friends have posted many messages on our Facebook page which we feel are unjust, and we have consulted a solicitor about their content.
'We have been trading for 17 years and have never had any complaints.
'If we knew Josephine was breastfeeding we might have asked her to put back her appointment as a lot of our dresses require you to take your bra off.
'But we use our common sense, and people have visited who are breastfeeding or have children before and always left happy.'
