Swimsuit - long body and cup sizes

I'm struggling to find a swimsuit that fits.
I have a tankini (from bravissimo) with cup size fittings, all good.
But whenever I try on cup size swimsuits, they're too short in the body. It's not just cup size swimsuits, I bought a cheap (& nasty) one out of desperation for a UK holiday (slazenger from sports direct - me and most of the other people in the pool!) and it looked awful.

Does anyone know anywhere that does decent cup size swimsuits for long bodies please?

Hi. I have a very similar problem with body length in swimsuits. I recently bought a Zoggs sports style suit in the Bravissimo sale that the reviewers said was long in the body (and thankfully it is). It's got unwired support but as a 32G I find it good in an aqua aerobics class.

Might be worth looking at Lands' End - i think they do a long body option.

Yes, try bravissimo - I have bought a couple of decent Speedo ones there with wiring, proper support and designed for actual swimming rather than just lying down! Also 32g.

no-you can have a long body or big breasts you can't have both. if there is such a thing i am yet to find it after years of searching. it pisses me off hugely

I have a long body and F cups. The Freya Active costume works for me, bought it from lessbounce.com

I'm pretty sure m&s do longer body ones

Another landsend vote here.

and YY to whoever said you are not allowed a long body and big boobs. Nor can you have either of those and a very high rise crotch to belly button. Nope. Still got long and lean legs though

No jackets fit over your boobs, no jackets cut in at the correct waist point. No belted dresses. No empire line clothes fit over your boobs. Or reach your belly button. Actually, anything passing your belly button and reaching your hips is called a miracle.

LL you've just named so many of the problems I have buying clothes!
Good (if frustrating) to know I'm not alone...

I'm 5'7. Hardly giant proportions. It is really frustrating to the point I don't spend much on clothes. Bra's yes!
