I know I can't be the only woman out there with a long torso with trouble finding a good workout suit.
The only true "long" suit I have is a non-polyester fitness suit. I love it, but it's dissolving. I would love to get a polyester suit but am having problems with fit because so much of my height is in my torso.
What brands/suits have you found that work better/are cut longer than others?
I'm with y'all. For a while I went with two piece suits but they come with their own set of problems. Just for laughs, I searched Speedo's site for 'long torso' since I used to get bathing suits from LL Bean that were long torso - and voila!

Someone get one and try it.
I think I DID just buy this suit! Got it in my real size, not one size larger. It was a vast improvement, but felt a bit "pulling down" at top (so I had to hitch it up). Have not tried it in pool yet but will report back.
There is also a line called Longitude that I stumbled across in a department store. I found a nice one that I care for exquisitely.:applaud:
Department of fuller explanation: with a long (physical) torso I have to buy the next larger size, which is too big in the top, so it gapes and makes me look like a misshapen elephant, and big in the seat. In other words, if it fits in length it is guaranteed not to fit anywhere else.
