I use Jockey Seamfree T-Shirts.  They are expensive, but frequently on sale.  I once got 70% off.

I swim topless, but they would provide some modesty with swim trunks of a similar color.

They are stretchy and hold the girls in, without being too constrictive.

I have this same problem and have written on this forum about this some months ago. I am still in the closet and I had not anticipated that my boobs would get so large so fast. I am a banker and a financial investment speaker. I am always told that cis males would not notice as much as females and that so many males have man boobs, plus we tend to be more aware of our boobs than friends and strangers. I live in a major financial city where we have very hot humid summers. So far during the winter I use small size Lycra A or T shirts. It compresses comfortably and its thicker so the nipples dont show as much. This will be the first summer that I have size - last summer it was early stage so I had no problems and wore a stretch sun vest. This summer I plan to just put up with the heat and continue with the lycra undershirts, wear looser fitting shirts. I will have to bear the presperation. Also for the swimming I will wear a heavier sun vest. Also, I noticed that multi color sport shirts and dark colors work. Its all a hassle but I need to wait.

I'm currently struggling with this right now at work. I have to wear white dress shirts as part of the dress code. I'm able to wear a blazer or chambray color shirts, but I don't have either. I'm desperately trying to find some that fit me. Being small really sucks sometimes.

MS Grace,
I think what is making them more prominent is my weight loss.. I am getting cut and have a V and long waist so now when leaned back in a chair they just say hello... I'm here...
I also don't want my wife to notice too much so will start dressing with open button down shirts every day.. no more running around it T's..

Satinjoy "Good fitting unlined underwire bra, nylon cami, nylon male tshirt, large shirt usually not thin (I am a medium), and a large loose sweater.  A scarf. (its winter, and theatrical).  Probably a suit jacket too."

I find that a underwire bra shows them off more almost like a pushup.  I use a sports bra vest that doesn't have any thin shoulder straps or metal peices in back to feel or show through. dark full shirts are good and laying is good if it too hot.

Emily,
LOL yep you knew the answer to that question.. heck no if anything I want more E....I like the problem..
Anyway thanks for the tips..

How about talking with Your endo and cutting down Your E dosage a bit to slow things down? Ok, stupid question, I know .
Diamond pattern/tartan pattern fabric will blend any mounds in amazingly - I strongly suggest these. As other posters already mentioned - avoid thin fabric and sizes which fits Your current size (use one size bigger, maybe more). I have A cup in somewhere between Tanner III and IV and they usually dont cause me much trouble (I dont even need a bra as wearing one would make them stand out even more noticeable) - but lets say plain turtlenecks are out of question now -  unless I wear quite tight undershirt the sight is pretty much unmistakable. Tucking Your shirts in indeed create extra "visibility" while wearing them out - providing that those are male cut - makes them fall down naturally in straight lines and kinda conceal anything which is not supposed to be there. I have many andro-style shirts which are male but are a bit tight-tailored around waistline (absolutely love those), but they tend to accentuate waistline and bring out anything above that.
And of course, having them inevitably changes Your posture which could be another giveaway...

maybe now is the time to come out  then lol

I know, I just really like underwire and hiding at the same time lol 
Enjoy your "girls", girls, what a lovely problem

Satinjoy, Yes, you can definite feel and see them nicely with an underwire bra, just have to understand you have to do a better job of hiding them if you don't want to show everyone what you have on your chest.  Maybe you need to get serious about going full time.

My sister noticed mine the other day and my wife just kind of ignores it...
I am going to Mexico for a Wedding in June and thought oh crap I wont be able to go to the beach...
My sis said I could get one of those body suites that fit tight and could work...
By then I will have lost about from 240lbs to about 170lbs ..and been on HRT for 7 months.
I could have an interesting figure.
Seems I am loosing weight in the right places and gaining fat in the girl places.. kind of cool...
My hair will be a lot longer too..
Also, flying and going through security could suck...not even thought about that yet.

I've had to ditch all of my thinner, lighter colored t-shirts and replace them with thicker black ones. My daily work wear is a pair of jeans and a dress shirt, so I wear a sleeveless undershirt and I make sure that the dress shirt is baggy. You can still catch glimpses of them, but if you didn't know you would just assume it was a weird crease or something in the shirt, or maybe think it was pecs. I plan on going full time around mid year and I think I can get by until then. Maybe.

When I wear one of my thin tight female cotton shirts and a bra it's like "well, hello there girls!" LOL..... my therapist said "You've got boobs!" to me recently with a shocked voice.

Yep 

I think sadly the OP demonstrates why RLE is necessary before HRT....

Jebee,
OMG no.. some can't do RLE before HRT for lots of reasons.  Everyone is different.. different ages and goals.
The key is the standards of care and to require RLE before can be cruel and punishing.
As you may know it take a while  for HRT to do its job.
The key is a plan that one can be comfortable with.. its a big deal to transition right??
My plan has many steps and I am also lucky enough to afford FFS and ability to do other things to pass.
No one wants to just put on a dress and go out in public if they cant pass at all.. thats cruel.
Also when done right transition can be a wonderful experience.
I am enjoying the changes and can deal with it. Its all part of it and why we are here to support each other and give and seek advise.

the standards of care are there for a reason.

I agree with Ms Grace. I recommend a crew neck undershirt that is one size too small. Over that, a loose fitting shirt.

There are different standards. Which one is the correct?

Perhaps some girls can pass without HRT or can go trough an open and public transition...but this is not the reality for the most of us.

I think that making someone to go out dressed as a woman without HRT can't prove anything and may even be a cause of traumas. The real experience of living as a woman can only be achieved with the right body. It is not as easily as choosing a wig and a dress and getting out. Anyone who try this would get a strong reaction from society and this won't be nowhere close to the real experience of living as a woman. This can be dangerous!

Particulary, if I had to go live as a woman in order to start hormones I'd more likely stay as I was...I'd stay with my sad life, drowning in depression and fleeing for virtual worlds in order to forget my real life. Why? I couldn't pass for sure. I don't need people looking at me with hate or even coming after me to hit me. I wouldn't feel good looking like a man in a dress.

I only want to go out as a woman when I am ready, when my body is looking feminine, with my voice prepared and with my mind calm and tuned with myself. Why to rush things? What good can come from this?

"the standards of care are there for a reason."

Thank God.  I go FTE, I lose my marrage.  No deal.

Thank God they allow 3 months therapy and then hormones based on that understanding instead of the RLE. 

Nobody has read me yet.  Its the thick, big sweaters.

Natalia,
My therapist would agree 100% with what you said and she is going along with the standards of care as they are.
She does not believe in  RLE before hormones but all depends on the person..
We did discuss... what would happen on HRT if lets say I get huge fast.. and well then we deal with it.. I am fortunate to be able to work from home so I can go full time whenever I feel comfy..
RLE is old school... and not part of standard of care before HRT.
Thanks for your post....
Carrie-
