Looking for a long bodied swimming costume

8 replies

I'm tall and also have a long body and am looking for a swimsuit to wear to my child's swimming lessons.

As well as being tall I am also small busted so really cannot live with at least some padding, or I look like a 5 year old boy! Any ideas please?

Figleaves 'long length' are too short, and all ASOS tall seem to be 'plunge' i.e. completely open at the front which may not be appropriate for mother & toddler swim!

what about something like this? they have an option where you can have a 'home fitting room experience', and so you send back what you don't want in 30 days, and only pay for what you keep. i'm not sure if this has padding or not though

Long tall sally are good but expensive, i'm tall 5ft 10' and found the perfect one piece in tesco!

Have you thought about a tankini?
I think the m&s ones come up quite long

I was going to suggest ASOS, they have a few scoop necks here which aren’t too low at all.
I have the same issue!

I’m 5ft 9 have the same shape and the only one that fits is the Boden wrap around swimsuit in long. It has padded cups but I find that they are ok for my flat chest. A few sizes left if you like it. Expensive but lasts years

I missed the part where you wanted padding - sorry!
M&S do longer length swimsuits, and new look have some in their tall range too.

So these are not cheap

But maybe not too horrendous in the sale

Thanks everyone for replying! Some great ideas here and I have just ordered a wrap one in the sale from Boden and keeping my fingers crossed it's a good fit.
