living vicariously: tummy-flattering swimsuits

A few days ago, my friend Kate called me with a pressing question: She's heading to Florida and needs a swimsuit to cover up her post-baby tummy -- stat! I whipped out my computer and google skills and, within an hour, scored what she needed: a list of swimsuits that call attention to all the right places (neckline, shoulders, post-baby breasts) and none of the wrong places (tummy, sides of tummy, front of tummy). Here are some lovely options:
Princesse tam tam's strapless one-piece (above).
High-waisted numbers from Toast.
Bright, cheery one-pieces from J. Crew.
Victoria's Secret's retro bikini.
Boden's boyleg swimsuit.
A sweet flowery suit from Italian designer Laura Urbinati.
Princesse tam tam's Audrey suit, inspired by a little black dress.
Pinup-inspired suits from Anthropologie.
The Magicsuit collection, made with a genius figure-shaping fabric.
