Swimming costume - long body

4 replies

Hi,
I'm hopefully going on holiday this Easter and am looking for advice on where to get a really nice swimming costume / tankini. I'm a size 14 pear / hour glass shape, but think my body must be longer than average as I always find swim suits tight length wise. A bikini with good stomach coverage or a tankini would be ideal. I've checked out John Lewis, MnS and Fat Face, but not seen anything I like enough to get.
Does any one have any ideas on where to find stylish 2 pieces with good coverage or "long" swimming costumes?? Thanks very much in advance!

I'm told that Seaspray do costumes for tall people and those with a long torso.

My swimming group was complaining about this problem only yesterday! Looking forward to seeing more suggestions from fellow long-bodied swimmers.

Thanks @SignOnTheWindow! Haven't heard of Seaspray - sounds a good tip, will check it out now

These are bizarrely hard to find, especially if you want to actually swim. I’ve just ordered one from Halocline but it’s not arrived yet so can’t give you a review!

ASOS has lots if it’s more for sunbathing.

Hi Eloraa, I've spent the last hour researching long swimming costumes and just about to buy one from Halocine too! A lovely teal one.
They do longer torsoed swimming costumes at Long Tall Sally too, Seaspray as @SignOnTheWindow mentions and Lands End.
