17 Jul 2012
I'm going on my honeymoon in 76 days (but who's counting??) and I'm on a mission for a few cute long torso swimsuits. Particularly I'd like one piece suits that look a tad retro and classic. I don't want boring, but I do want coverage. There are a few different long torso resources, but it seems harder to find suits that are long torso and cute. I found some good options at JCrew, Athleta, Long Tall Sally, and Eddie Bauer.  Land's End has a couple of options (although arguably they don't meet the 'cute' criteria ;) ).  Of course, tankinis are a tall girl's friend, and you can find some great options at Nordstrom.  Swimsuits for All has long torso options, although they're not my style...they may be yours!  Always good to share resources, right?  So here goes...I'd love your opinion on the suits I found.

Miraclesuit Rialto from Eddie Bauer:  Miraclesuit Rialto
 
Which is your favorite??  Do you know of other long torso swimsuit resources? 
 

On mornings when I'm just not feeling up for "getting ready" I turn to my tall standby - my green tall linen shirt from JCrew.  It's practically tunic length on me - the shoulders are wide enough - and the sleeves are past my wrists.  The best part is that right now JCrew is having an additional 30% off all sale styles!
