If you want to do a shirt, you could do a rash guard over a bikini top.

Oh I really like this! I think it's super cute.

Check jcrew! They have a ton of mama friendly styles. In their latest catalog they had rash guards paired with bottoms and it looked really cute.

I think its adorable! Love that! I'll find a pic in a bit of some cute suits I've seen...but that one is a good choice!

Have you heard of Rey Swimwear? I think some of their options like Marie would be great for that. http://www.reyswimwear.com/

@MrsTiz: OH! I want it!!!

@MrsTiz: I thought about that last year but didn't end up buying it because I thought it was odd. I ended up spending crazy money this year and buying a rash guard set from Athleta.

This is my favorite postpartum swimsuit. It looks amazing on (i found that non-ruched swimsuits just didn't look right, and I'm really tall, so I needed it in two separate pieces), and bonus, your boobs look great in this. The bottoms on this swimsuit are fantastic.

I think it's cute, but I do also think it looks like a shirt over a bikini. I wouldn't think twice about it if I saw it on the beach though.

I'm also on the hunt for a mom friendly suit. I weight less than pre preg, but my stomach is anything but toned and boobs are bigger, so I want more coverage without being totally frumpy. I am thinking about a few different tankinis from Athleta, might order a bunch and try them all on at home.
ETA: This is the one I'm thinking about:

@blackbird: I love the look of that swimsuit and that you can buy separate bottoms! But it's so pricey!

I think it's super cute.

My favorite suits these days are Miracle Suit one pieces like this: http://www.miraclesuit.com/miraclesuit/must-haves-sanibel.html or this: http://www.miraclesuit.com/miraclesuit/fashion-figures-rialto.html

Or the Athleta tankinis that come in bra sizes.

BUT (big disclaimer) I have a weird swim suit body anyway and must have lots of chest support and tops that come in bra sizes.

@MrsTiz: I have it. I'm an hourglass but a little top heavy. It holds in the tummy very well.

@foodnerd, yeah, that's a possibility! For me, I don't like to be 100% covered up or I feel too frumpy. I feel very "in" this swimsuit, though, and I'm an E cup. Plus, i tie that halter TIGHT. If you want something that holds well, you might want to try an Athleta style swimsuit--one made for working out in would be pretty snug! I've gone playing with E in this and honestly, she doesn't pull at my boobs so I don't have much of an issue.

@mrs. tiz, no the bottoms don't cut weird, they actually cover more than I expected it to. It's pretty darn full coverage. I bought two sizes from Amazon and returned the one that didn't fit right (free shipping!)

@adira, yeah it is. I tried on a bunch of inexpensive ones, but finding something that fits a large chest properly means you're going to spend a chunk of dough, so I prefer to just have two good ones in my closet I even went to one of those fancy swimsuit stores and they all fit weird (i'm just too tall for a one piece) so....whatever!

haha!!! I hope you love it! I freaking love mine. Like, i legit sent pictures of myself in it to my mom friends to show it off, i was so excited about how good (skinny! no muffin top!) it made me look. Talk about being an attention whore

@Foodnerd81: Athelta runs true to size, I have both the swimsuit tops as well as the regular bra tops and they're perfect matches to my bra size (I wear a 36 C).

@MrsTiz: I'm with you. I saw this and have been debating buying it because I feel like it hides my tummy flub but is not frumpy. I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on anything more expensive, I'm soo cheap!
