I need help in finding some clothes!

I'm 24, I like laid back boho styles. I'm a size 12. Curvy. I still have weight on my waist area from my last pregnancy, 4 months ago, which I'm conscious about and try to disguise.
I need clothes! I'm ok for trousers, as I know what to look for, but when it comes to tops, and especially knitwear, I'm lost.
I do need long sleeve tops, and knitwear more than anything, but i need clothes which are flattering to my bust (34E) and at the same time disguise a seriously untoned belly. Do i go for longline? wraparound? high neck? scoop neck? what 'slimming pattern' do I go for? Colour? (I'm mixed race, olive skin, dak hair) gah!...
Of course, I would appreiciate all suggestions, but I'll lean towards the clothes which are cheaper (stating the obvious, I suppose(!)). I have gasped in disbelief at some of the posts in this section, where MNers have shown a link of the bag, or shoes, coat etc they have just bought, and the cost has been in its hundreds! I could only dream!
Saying that, I am so fed up of making do with cheap tat which seems a good buy at the time, only to find I need to look for more clothes to replace the ones previously bought a few months before. As the saying goes, buy cheap, buy twice.
Anywaaaaay! all suggestions will be sooo gratefully recieved. I'v tried looking but, nothing seems to jump out at me.
Hoping you can do a better job than me.

Hard term was it? At least it's your mother... I look like my father in a wig!

That looks lovely, but is very lowcut.

VERY hard term.

You could wear a cami under it.

Apologies for the late response to your messages! Sometimes its an impossibility to get on the laptop, let alone think and write messages.

Yes yes to all these suggestions! Whoever it was who suggested White Stuff clothing. THANK YOU!! That store is just my thing, I love the clothes, their styles, everything, and tbh, I'd forgotten all about that shop, until a link was posted. So am very happy, as i think alot of their clothing is generally very flattering anyway.

May order from Uniqo, Ill be interested to see what the clothing is like. Never heard about them before.
