Long body swim suits

M&S used to do a great one every year but I can't find it now :( I need something that offers a bit of support across the tummy and some kind of bra/boob shelf inside. I seem to have a really long body though as most swimsuits start the boob section too low for me and dig into my shoulders.

Any tips?

I've a long body too so need to size up one or two sizes. That works for me although its not nice to see the tag!
I have a Debenhams one which I got two summers ago. It has the gathering in the tummy and support. It was expensive but lasted well through chlorine and sea water use , although I'm not crazy about the style. I find it is making me look older than I am.

Figleaves do a number of long body ones.

Lands End used to do quite a few but I can only find 4 boring ones there at the moment. I have to go for tankini's instead now.

J crew (think it's called ruched tank or something similar) bought on eBay.

I also have a long swimsuit from debenhams. They still sell it, it's black with pink piping down the sides, not the most exciting garment but it does the job and it has padding in the bust area ( a must for me!). Sorry can't do links. For some reason they don't do the option of long on line but if they sell it in store it's on the label.

BHS used to do longer fit swimsuits as well as the normal ones. Not sure if they still do, given their financial woes.

Ah Miracleto come - brill! That floral one is exactly the same as I've bought before only bit of an ugly different pattern. I wonder why they told me in store that they had stopped doing them. It's the most flattering swimsuit I've ever owned and very cleverly designed support wise.

Thanks for the other tips. Off to have a look...

I got a lovely Figleaves one from eBay, brand new, for £25. V flattering and comfy.
