Ok, not all that reasonably priced but you can wait for a coupon code - I just got my first J.Crew bathing suit and it is AMAZING. Really, really flattering. Worth the extra $.

Honestly, for swim lessons I'd get a rashguard and wear a sportsbra under. DD was constantly grabbing my suit top and I was afraid a boob would pop out.
lolllllllll at the Target and Old Navy suggestions for a 34H.
I've had good luck buying separates at barenecessities.com.
I'm a 36G so I'm not exactly small either, you just need to find the right fit though.
namasteak, I just ordered two maternity tankinis from Target but haven't received them yet. I'll let you know soon.
I ordered 2 maternity tankinis from Target and the tops weren't quite right. However, I was a 16/18 pre-pg and bigger than a G cup. I wore a cheap C9 (Target brand) sports bra underneath and that was perfect. My favorite suit though was from ON oddly enough. It was a 1 piece that had straps you could wear straight or cross in the back. Crossed was more supportive and comfortable for me.
Have you tried "The Suit" from Walmart? It's great at hiding a tummy, and I found the top to be tight enough to provide support, but not a ton of lift.
I highly recommend Land's End tankinis. I am a 32H while BFing and a size 10 in bottoms after giving birth. (I started as a 32D and size 4/6) The bottoms are full coverage and the top (I wore a v-neck tankini) have lots of support while not looking frumpy. I actually felt good wearing that swimsuit, which is saying a lot.
I have a large chest too. Lands End tanks aren't bad.
Definitely no to Old Navy.
Fig leaves has some bra-sized tops on sale $20-$40. They are misc patterns--I would just get one of those and the matching bottom of you want it just use a plain black bottom from anywhere.
I really am more of a fan of sport suits now though for the pool. My bustiness isn't much of an issue and I don't have to worry about anything slipping.
I also like "The Suit" from Walmart. I'm around a 34 F/G and it definitely fits up top. I'm also a 10/12, with wide hips, and I can still squeeze into my pre-pregnancy medium, though a large would probably fit better at this point.
The j.crew suits for bigger busts are also pretty good. But if you want cheap, nothing beats "the suit."
Where can I find a reasonably priced swimsuit? Tankini preferably.
I'm a 34H and all my suits are from pre-pg when I was a 34DD. I look too pornstar for swim lessons.
I'm also a 10/12, closer to a 12 and carry my weight around the middle.
It sounds like you and I have the same body type. Remember the super popular walmrt bathing suit everyone was buying last year? I have that and it's amazing. Super flattering.
