I bought these Lightweight Long Sleeve Criss Cross Pullover Nursing Tops from Amazon when I was nursing. I still love them. They cover what I'm currently less confident about and accentuate what I'm more confident about. Throw a tank underneath and a pair of jeans or leggings and I really look like I put some effort in. BUT-unsurprisingly, these shirts are very very low quality. As in fall apart after one machine wash and line dry. Did I mention the low quality? Can you help me find their better cousins?
-I really like how they are very drape-y at the bottom in the front for me to position around my new-size-to-me tummy. (while the photos make the amount of drape look quite overwhelming, at least on my body, it looked just right)
-longsleeve
-solid colors
-large or extra large ladies
-all one piece. While they are a bit to untangle, there's no tying or wrapping.
-I do not care if they are marketed as ladies, maternity, nursing or whatever.
-money isn't NO object. I'd prefer under $50 each, but am thrilled to see what you can find at any price point.
Thanks!!

If they don't have to be wrap style, I have a couple Bobeau cardigans (like this sold out one) that are drapey around my stomach -- it looks like other Bobeau tops have a similar aesthetic.

Have you seen these ones from a company called Popana? My guess is that they might be slightly better quality.
SWAK has Faye, which is less drapey and not currently available in your size, but they bring back their styles in different colours throughout the year.
BCBG has a blousier version of this, the Jaklyn blouse, in a poly chiffon rather than a knit like your example. They're often available on sale much cheaper than the list price.
I also feel like I see very similar ads on Zulily a lot but zulily is very haphazard in stocking given that they sell overstock.

There's this one in Nordstrom. Just over $50, but looks decent quality.
And this, in Macys, available in XL and reduced to $17!

I see Kindred Bravely ($40) has them and they should be better quality.
