Longer body swimsuits brands.

I'm apple shaped with a long body. Not a fan of bikinis or tankinis but finding a longer body length swimsuit is a night mare.
Can anyone suggest a shop or brand which might offer me a more comfortable fit?

Try Lands End as I seem to remember that they cater for long bodies.

The last time I looked which was a while ago now M&S had some longer body suits

I'm 6'1" so every bit of me is long plus my body shape is apple too. I have two swimsuits: SimpleBe (longer length) and Lands End (long). Love them both but their stocks are low in many sizes. It's the end of season. Have tried M&S but their legs are cut very high which I don't like.

Good luck.

Lands End are brilliant fit, brilliant quality. Bit expensive, but their sale is excellent.

Yes muse I think it’s high time shops like M&S had a re-think about their designs especially with regard to “high cut” in the nether regions. I know they make legs appear longer just as high heels do, but I have given up all ambitions of being an Olympic synchronised swimmer now or a catwalk supermodel wink

Lands End have got a massive sale on at the moment!

Thanks for the Lands End suggestion. I've just placed a good order.

Can someone help? I am sure I ordered size 12s in everything from Lands End but I just checked and my confirmation is showing size 8s. Is this the American equivalent or do I need to get on to them to cancel?
It's very confusing.

Please note: some styles in your order may be shown in US sizes. See landsend.co.uk for UK/US size conversions.

I've just read the above message. Hopefully I will get what I wanted.

Have had success with M & S ones in the past - but not for the past few years I have to admit, as have not not needed to buy any new swimsuits. Might face the same dilemma as you all when I get travelling again.

I'm tall and find sainsbury' is well proportioned for tall people, so longer in the body
