I love a playsuit in summer however being 5ft 9 I felt they dig in the crotch as my torso is longer than average,any tips on where to buy?

Hi. If you go onto the Next website and search on Playsuits, you can then narrow them down to ones which are available in Tall www.next.co.uk/shop/productaffiliation-jumpsuitsandplaysuits/category-playsuits-gender-women-sizetype-tall-isort-score. I've actually bought both of those for my holiday. I am only 5ft 5 but just preferred the tall fit in the black one. The floral Tall one was way too long in the body for me though so I went with standard for that one.

I'd like to know too, as I'm 5'9" but plus sized.... (14/16)

I'm not quite as tall (5'8") but long in the body, size 14. I have a cotton jumpsuit from People Tree, a denim one from Spry Workwear and a crinkle cotton one from Asos (sold out) and they don't dig. The PT one is very light, soft and stretchy (but more likely to show lumps and bumps)

M&S also do a "long" fitting that might be suitable

I'm 6ft and find asos tall range the best

Yes, Asos Tall are sometimes made of nice fabric too. Usually (looking at you Long Tall Sally and Next) it's all poly.
The Asos Tall things can run very large. They had a cracking pair of navy cropped cotton trews which were too big in a 12 and too small in a 10 (on my 14/16 bum).
I suspect being a bit bigger + tall makes things easier than being very slim. I can imagine being 5'10" and size 10 you'd struggle to find something (esp an all-in-one) in the correct proportions.

I’ve bought a couple of nice playsits from GAP recently and they also come in a Tall option.

My daughter is 5ft 7 and likes the Topshop Tall range for things like playsuits. I think New Look also do a Taller range.

I recently bought a playsuit from New Look's tall range and am really pleased with it. I am about 5 ft 11 and it fits really well.
