Swimsuit help

Have you tried tankinis? I have a long torso as well and I like the way it makes my torso seem shorter. As for making your legs look longer, look for swimsuits with a "high cut." I know you said that you were looking for a two-piece, but Jcrew has some really cute one-pieces this year, and for long torsos.

Here's what the site says to minimize a long torso:
A swimsuit with a high-cut leg elongates the legs, making the torso appear shorter. Try our brief or a one-piece style (high-cut legs, full back coverage). You might also try a short that sits higher on the waist.

my body is sort of like that too. i usually get a small on top or a medium or large on bottom. also, i like to mix and match. since my bottom half is bigger, i like to wear a solid color on bottom and a fun printed top. ie, ill wear a solid black bottom and a top thast has something more fun like polka dots or something. hth!
