Oh that polka dotted one is the one I had my eye on. Love it!! That site does have a bunch of cute suits.
Ahhh these are TOO cute!! And I think I fit the bill for "type" lol.

I haven't owned a one piece since I was a child but I *must* have this one, and the pure white one.

Lordandtaylor.com has a lot of one-piece suits, their suits are modest if that's what you're in to and a lot of them have strategically placed ruching which is great for concealing tummy flaws.

Also, the May issue of People Style Watch has a swimsuit special with tons of options at all price points if you're swimsuit shopping, you should definitely pick it up.

You can still find one-piece cut out swimsuits they just have a more updated look now, there are some really sexy ones at Shopbop, but unfortunatley they're not $75 :-) One piece swimsuits

Try Athleta! They are part of Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic and their suits are awesome! I got one bikini, one bikini top on sale to mix and match and one tankini top to also mix and match with the bottoms I already had. Great fit and really good quality.

I need support up top (36DD) but all the suits I tried were either not giving me the support I needed or did support my chest but were huge in the body looked horrible and the bikini tops or tankini tops on their own were not supportive/didn't cover the girls. I love the bikini's in Victoria's Secret but the tops only fit up to a 38D and I find they are not supportive enough nor do they cover enough.

Athleta has great suits (one piece, tankini and bikini) in mix and match colors/prints in bra sizes and regular S, M, L sizing and they might be a little over your price range but really fit well and are well made and they have a good return policy as well.

Also Venus has tankini's and one pieces as well that are sized from A to DD and S, M, L. They fit your price range as well.

Good luck shopping! (But really, take a look at Athleta! I am so pleased with their stuff!)

I love pin-up styles. I feel like they're classy and leave more to the imagination for me, personally.

Modcloth swimsuits.

They have a nice/large selection.
Yes! I was going to mention Modcloth.

Vintage inspired swimsuits are actually really "in" right now, on the runway and stuff.

I've always loved them though and I think they're timeless.

Even the two pieces I've been seeing are more modest, with the bustier tops and high waisted bottoms.

I'm ordering this one for my b-day:

Seafolly Swimwear 'Tea Rose' Underwire Luxury Two Piece Swimsuit by Seafolly 2012 | The Orchid Boutique

Fables by Barrie is great for vintage inspired too:

ETA - what are cutouts? Monokinis? Those are hot..i want to get one if i get this body in shape soon.

I find tankinis to be worse than bikinis for belly. It just accentuates the pooch and love handles even more on me.
I feel the same way about tankinis.

One problem I have with one pieces is that I'm bigger in the boobs than in other places.

That's why I order from Land's End. They have D and DD options for one piece suits. I'm a DDD but the DD fits well!

Here's a pic of me in bathing suit. I like it, it's very 50's I think.

I'm a 34DDD for reference and ordered a size 12 since they run a bit small.

I'm mostly surprised at the support and that my boobs don't look ridiculous in this.
