Does such a thing exist? **Update with pictures**
Permalink Closed

This summer I'm working as a camp counselor and we are required to wear one piece bathing suits.  I don't really care about the whole style issue because it's understandable but I have a long torso and finding a long one piece is a pain in the you know what.  I have to hunch over to fit in them.  What I really need first and foremost is one that is long.  I would love for it to be under $75 because I'm never going to wear it again but I don't know if that's entirely possible.  Cuteness is pretty much last priority but would be an added bonus.  Please help me!

Sorry for all the pictures.  I'm open to changing the patterns or colors but I think I want something dark or with a print so I'm not showing stuff off to the youngins.  Which is the cutest and most practical?

Also (I feel like I've been selling JCrew today, but whatever!) a lot of JCrew suits come in a long torso option, such as this adorable one, which comes in 3 other colors:



 


ETA this one: in case you're not looking for a pattern. I love this shade of blue:

I second Jcrew. They have really cute one-piece suits right now.

Oh man, those are really cute too.  I thought it would be hard to find a cute one but now it's hard to choose.  *runs to JCrew*

Just get a Speedo!  Actually, not a Speedo, a Tyr.  The construction is better, and the fabric is a better quality.  Anyway, I love, love, love these suits, and the sizes have more to do with length than anything else.  When you try it on it should be very tight, but you should be able to haul up on the shoulder straps and get them up to the top of your ears.  As soon as the suit gets wet it will stretch out, and after you've worn it a couple times it will be the most comfortable thing you've ever worn.

I'm so excited about J.Crew's new sizing.  They've had long torso suits for awhile and D-cup in the last few years, but now they have D-cup/long torso suits!  The best of both worlds in one suit!  I'm not crazy about the colors they come in, so I'm going to wait a while to order mine.  I want it in the grass green they offer in regular sizes, but they don't have it (hopefully they just don't have it YET), in my size.

i had the same problem when i worked at Kanakuk. It's a Christian sports camp, so you can imagine the amount of coverage yet functionability (is that a word?) we had to have.


The best suits I found that fit me, (and I have a longer torso as well) were by Nike. They fit well, didn't ride up, and held up really well considering that I had to wear at least one of them everyday.


And the best part was that I found most of them at Ross or TJ Maxx for around $20.00 each.
