Tall Swim

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. 
 
The Ruched Femme tank from JCrew:JCrew Ruched Femme Tank
 
Frill Front Suit from Long Tall Sally: Long Tall Sally Frill Front Swimsuit
 
Miraclesuit Rialto from Eddie Bauer:  Miraclesuit Rialto
 
Which is your favorite??  Do you know of other long torso swimsuit resources?

Hi - I think you've hit the majors ones. I like the one from J. Crew. Last year I wrote a few posts on swimwear and one comparing one-piece suits so maybe it will be useful in your quest. http://www.livingituptall.com/2011/06/as-you-know-finding-one-piece-swimsuit.html I saw Seafolly's suits at a trade show last year and they were quite long. It's an Australian company. http://seafolly.com/international I too need a one-piece suit! Good luck! And let me know what you found.

We both chose the JCrew one piece! I appreciated your post, because I didn't know Alloy featured long torso suits. That's awesome. I want to try the Long Tally Sally, too, but I can never figure out my size with that brand....it's nice to be a size small, but we both know I'm not that petite ;).

Nice choice! Perfect for the honeymoon!!! I've shopped the LTS Pop Up shops several times and have also been a bit confused on the sizes. I have done really well with their camisoles, tees, and blouses because they are nice and long. However I'm not an XS :)
