I'm thinking a bandeau tank or tankini with lots of boning and support for the girls. I'd also make a strap in case it just wouldn't stay up. I really like this one from J Crew. (J Crew pics are linked)
... maybe it reminds me of my wedding dress. What do you think?
By the way, that's my awesome mom, who made my awesome dream dress!
I also really love this one, but I think that draped top would be difficult to do without a pattern (and so far, I haven't found one too similar - just twist tops). I can't visualize what the pattern piece would look like. I can see there's a center seam between the bust, but I'm not sure...
I think I would convert either one into a long tankini, too. I think it would be easier to fit without worrying so much about the length and pulling the top part down. Also, I could make it a little swingier to camo the belly more.

Good luck with that, crazy girl. I'm still trying to get up the courage to try sewing knits. After I cut out the boys Easter outfits and send to Mom for embroidery I might try on some stuff I have here. As always, I'm sure it will turn out great! My vote (cuz I know you value MY fashion advice :-) is for number 2, but without a pattern it would be hard.
