Swimsuit SOS

I find myself in need of help. I have bought exactly one swimsuit in my adult life, a teeny tiny bright blue bikini. Fine pre-DS, but not doing me any favours now. I take DS swimming once a week and each week swear to myself I'll buy a new swimsuit, as there is usually at least one 'wardrobe malfunction' (teeny tiny triangle bikini does not mix well with lactating bosom). I think I need a one-piece, but have no idea how to choose one, as I've never worn one before (never been too keen on swimming, just the occasional dip while on holiday).
Could wise MNers counsel me, and maybe even provide links? I am after a nice one-piece which I can breastfeed in, but which will not threaten to release straining lactating bosom. I prefer colours to black, but that's not a deal-breaker. I'm petite but curvy, have always been a small size 6 until DS came along. I'm now more like a small size 8, and have a charming post-section mummy tummy. The issue that makes me a bit scared of buying a one-piece is that although I'm not particularly tall (165cm) I'm quite long-bodied. So I'm not sure what size I need. Do I buy an 8 because I'm quite small, or do I buy a 10 because my body is long? Am a swimsuit novice, clueless and scared!

I would just go to figleaves, order half a dozen you like the look of, in 8's and 10's, try them and send back any that are no good.
