One of my pet peeves is there are so few nursing shirts out there. When you ask about nursing clothes all too often you get shown nightgowns and that's it! I have bought nursing clothes at Motherhood. Often consignment/resale shops that sell kids clothes have a nursing section. Try before you buy if at all possible. I've found that different styles work better with how I'm built than others. I don't care for the ones with side slits as much as the ones with a panel that you lift. I also tried one once that just had one opening in the center of the shirt. Hello--I'm afraid I don't have a breast in the center of my chest! My favorite nursing shirts are made of thin, flimsy synthetic material. It's not that I am a huge fan of synthetic materials in general, but they drape nicely and don't look so bulky, allow for discrete nursing because you can keep that thin fabric draped close to the nipple, they're stretchy which helps make them easy to use, and they dry fast if they get wet. Some of my shirts of this style are from Motherhood (though I just looked on their web site and didn't see anything like I have--the wrap style shirts look like something I would try, but I have no personal experience with them

www.preciousimagecreations.com. They are expensive though. And their quality control isn't great. I had to send 2 shirts back for replacements because the seams started unraveling after handwashing them once (which they did and reimbursed my shipping--the replacements have held up fine). I splurged because I bf in some situations where pulling up a shirt to nurse over my big pregnant belly would be uncomfortable.
A girlfriend of mine has a nursing shirt that is really more of an undergarment--glamour mom tanks
www.glamourmom.com. She LOVES it. If you wore this under your regular shirt (maybe an open short sleeve button-up shirt for summer) you could nurse w/o exposing your belly.
Finally, you could take a crack at making your own nursing shirts if you sew:

Good Luck!
