Where can I get a swimsuit with a long body?

[IHeartKingThistle]

I really fancy a swimsuit for holiday this year - seen one I like from Boden but then remembered I have a bugger of a time finding ones that don't nip me in inappropriate places!

I am 5 9 ish but my height is due to a freakishly long body - I can wear 30" leg trousers no problem! Any ideas where I can get a cossie?

No help but I am watching with interest. I just sent back six styles to figleaves because they just dont reach from crotch to shoulder without crippling me. I am beginning to think I will have to fall back on sports swimsuits.

Noooooooo! Not sports ones!!!

this is the one I like but it'll be too short, won't it?

J crew do long body length swimmers and have some on sale at the moment.

bhs do 'long' swimsuits.

Probably. Go on, order it and see. J crew nice stuff but a little over my price range. I was considering £50 pushing it really.

Seaspray do longer length costumes. You might get one for sub £50 in the sales. Otherwise, aside from Long Tall Sally, have you looked at Landsend? The UK "range" is lamentable but it's possible to order through the US site, which offers more choice.

I get mine from long tall sally, they aren't as frumpy ad some of their other bits! I've had a speedo type one and a tankini In the past, I'm 6ft

Have you considered a bikini or tankini?

I find the LTS ones long enough but too big in the body...bought one last year which looks saggy.after one wear.
Wish someone would bring out decent range of long length gym wear generally

I just bought a lovely cobalt blue one from 'Tall Girls' I think the brand was seaspray.
Lands end do a longer fit one too.

I buy normal speedo ones, but in a much bigger bust size than I need, it gives enough stretch to fit nicely then as the stretch works both ways if a decent quality one.

Same problem here - all swimsuits seem to end below my boobs! Not a good look! I'm usually an 8 but ended up with a size 12 swimsuit - I got the one linked below as I found the ruching meant it was still a good fit elsewhere and meant it could stretch 'up'!

What about if I got a halterneck swimsuit (so could tie looser or tighter) and sized up? Would that work?

I've also struggled in the past but I recommend you have a look at Ted Baker swimsuits, I'm 5'11" and got a really pretty one last summer for my honeymoon.

Well I've taken the liberty of ordering this. I sized up, no idea if it will be long enough though. We shall see.
