I'm the same way. I was very swollen, C to DD (theyve settled into a D, thank god), and my tummy is a hot mess.

I live in basic tees and cardigans to hide my awesome love handles.

I like wearing button up shirts especially the plaid ones. They're not as form fitting and hide the tummy a little.

I was pretty much this same way!

One thing I did to help with the tummy and with nursing was to get some good long cami's to wear underneath shirts. I actually love the ones from charlotte ruse. They are tight and long (cover the belly).

Then I put whatever kind of shirt over top. I went up to an XL top during the PP period but I have settled back down.

When I went to nurse, I could pull the shirt up and then pull the cami down. I then could undo the nursing bra and nurse away while the top of my breast and my belly were still covered. Honestly, I lived in this style wardrobe for about a year while nursing/pumping. Its also nice because it doesn't stretch out all your shirts from pulling them down.

Ha, at five weeks post partum I was still wearing my maternity shirts everywhere!

I still wear my maternity tanks and vneck tees from target, with cardis and hoodies. Just plain tanks/tees that are long...and a little longer in front....no rouching or anything that is obviously maternity wear. They have been great for stretching where they need to as my body changes shape postpartum.

I bought a top from old navy last spring and I literally wore it everyday! Unfortunately I can't find it at old navy, but heres the link to the slightly more expensive gap version (but i PROMISE its totally worth it!). Its loose around the tummy, but still really flattering!! Since its cool, you could wear it with a cardigan and still look really cute!!
