There is a specific kind of swimsuit suffering that only long-torso women understand.
You find a one-piece you actually like. It looks great on the model. You order it, it arrives, you step into it, and immediately feel it pulling upward in a way that suggests it was designed for someone whose torso ends somewhere around their belly button. You do the awkward shimmy, adjusting and hoping. It doesn’t help. The straps are cranked to their absolute maximum length and you are still one deep breath away from a wardrobe malfunction.
Welcome to the long torso tax.
And here is the part that makes it worse: when you are tall, you expect clothing to be a challenge. You have made your peace with [trousers that stop three inches too soon](YOUR JEANS POST URL HERE) and sleeves that expose your wrists in winter. But somehow swimwear still manages to surprise you. The standard swimsuit seems to be designed for someone with roughly 28 inches between their shoulder and their crotch.
If yours is 32 inches, good luck.
That is why I put this list together. Every brand below ships within the US, sizes for long torsos specifically, and is actually worth your time.
But first, do you know your torso measurement? It is different from what you might expect. For swimsuit sizing specifically, you need the full loop measurement: start at the top of one shoulder, run the tape down the front of your body, through your legs, and back up to your starting point. That full loop is what determines whether a one-piece will actually fit you.
1. Andie Swim
Andie is probably the most talked-about brand in this space, and for good reason. They have a large dedicated long torso section with styles running from XS to 3XL, which immediately puts them ahead of most competitors who might offer you two or three options and call it a day.
Their sizing guidance is refreshingly practical. They recommend measuring from where your bra strap hits on your shoulder down to your inseam. If that number is over 30 inches, their site will steer you toward the long torso fit.
What I particularly appreciate about Andie is the range within the range. Long torso swimsuits can easily default to safe and boring, but Andie genuinely offers plunging V-necks, low backs, one-shoulder styles, and high-neck options, all in the long torso cut. Their fabric varies across styles too, from smooth eco nylon to ribbed, so you are not just picking a length, you are actually choosing a suit you will want to wear.
The catch, as with most brands that get it right: popular styles sell out. When a great print or silhouette drops in the long torso version, it can be gone within days.

2. Lands’ End
Lands’ End has been quietly doing the right thing for long torso women for years without getting nearly enough credit for it. They have a dedicated long torso filter that works across their entire swimwear range, one-pieces, tankinis, plus sizes, and modest styles included. This is not a token two-style capsule. It is a proper, browsable section.
What sets them apart is their approach to sizing. They separate cup sizing from overall sizing, which sounds like it should be standard practice and yet somehow almost nobody does it. For women who need a long torso but also want proper bust support, Lands’ End removes one of the most frustrating compromises in swimwear shopping.
Their aesthetic leans classic and practical, think clean lines, solid colors, modest coverage, but if that matches your needs, there is genuine depth here. Free shipping is available, which matters when you are likely going to be sizing up and down to find the right fit.

3. TA3
TA3 is not a brand that simply adds a long torso tag to an existing design. Their entire construction is built around shaping and supporting the body through patented technology, and they have thought carefully about the long torso fit as part of that system.
What sets them apart is how they filter their range. You can shop by torso length, Short, Regular/Long, or XLong, which makes finding the right fit genuinely straightforward. Their XLong category is generally recommended for women 5’8″ and taller, though TA3 themselves are clear that your actual torso measurement matters more than your height. Check their size fit guide for exact instructions on how to measure your torso before ordering. Their XLong suits cover everything from one-pieces to bikinis, in sizes XXS to 4X.
The range itself skews toward sculpting and support, with built-in shaping panels and bra-sized options for larger cups. If you have struggled to find a long torso suit that also provides real bust support, TA3 is one of the few brands where those two things genuinely come together.
Worth knowing before you shop: TA3 sits at a higher price point than most brands on this list. For women who have spent years settling for suits that do neither fit nor support well, many find it worth every penny.
