Swimsuit help! Plus size, tall & maternity

Really struggling to find a suitable swimming cossie option because I am plus size and pregnant but also fairly tall. I’m only 5 foot 7, but I have short legs and long torso, so the majority of standard length swimsuits don’t cover me. Literally just tried a maternity one from next and one from M&S and both didn’t even come up to my boobs!

I know it’s a big ask for manufacturers to cater to all three, maternity, tall and plus size. I can seem to only find options that cater to 2 out of 3.

Can anyone here help? Thanks!

Hi! I'm 5"9 and got a great maternity tankini set (but it doesn't show any stomach) from George @ Asda - and I believe sizing goes up to about a size 20.
They are really great for maternity stuff.

Thank you! Yeah I’ve heard good things about their maternity range but wasn’t sure if they would be big/long enough for me!

I’ve got exactly the same issue as you but also wrestling with 34H boobs at the moment. Watching with interest!

Oh I didn’t see the plus size bit, but watching with interest anyway!

I've got a great one from marks and Spencer. It's trial and error though. Some just don't fit. It's not so much the size but the cut and material I think

H&M Maternity I've found really good...being 5ft 3in I've found everything on the too long side which should work in your favour! I'm a size 18 normally and find I'm between a large and extra large at the minute dependent on what I'm wearing I.e. boobs are currently 38GG so I get the extra large in fitted stuff as need the extra room.

I'd recommend Bravissimo

@gigitree I'm 5ft 10 so I feel your pain! I have purchased a black maternity swimsuit from h and m and it fits perfectly. I did go a size up (so got large rather than medium) so not sure if the helped. It fits bump nicely with room to grow
