Longitude Swimwear for Women

Longitude Swimwear for Women

A thoughtfully designed swimsuit or swim dress can give longer, taller female figures an appealing look for a trip to the pool or a vacation to the beach. Specialty swimsuits like those made by Longitude are designed for taller women featuring bust support and designs that accommodate longer, taller bodies.

Just as petite clothing is designed for women who are shorter than 5 feet 4 inches, Longitude's bathing suits for taller women are designed for heights over 5 feet 6 inches. Some ladies who are not taller than this may still have a longer than average torso. Featuring chlorine-resistant fabrics, placement prints, and one-piece suits and sets, torso friendly swimwear can be a solution for taller women with longer silhouettes. A swimsuit from Longitude offers at least two to three additional inches to the traditional length of suit body.

Longitude focuses on one-piece swimsuits for taller women, misses' sizes, and plus sizes. Longitude swimwear includes high-neck, one-piece swimsuits, color-block suits, U-Back slimming styles, tummy-minimizing options, surplice wrap suits, and rompers. Longitude swimsuits include plus sizes and misses styles with scoop necks, double X-backs, and also figure slimming patterns, designs, and colors.

• Slimming one piece Longitude swimsuit designs include high-neck styles with bright, festive, tropical prints.
• Longitude's scoop neck and overlay swimsuits are meant to visually shrink the waist and flatter and support the bust.
• The Longitude plunging-V design is intended to emphasize the bust and to create an improved figure.
• The one-piece romper Longitude swimsuit conceals the hips and may be worn as lounge or swimwear.

Longitude offers plus sizes for many of their skirted bathing suits or swim dresses. Empire and princess styles of tall and plus-size swim dresses have a fitted bust with a built-in bra for support and an A-line or princess skirt that flows from under the bust. Surplice, shirred, spliced, or blouson swim dresses have different bust and skirt combinations to fit plus-size figures and accommodate varying tastes.

Longitude's solid swim briefs and solid skirt bottoms are available as separates in misses sizes 8 to 14. They can be matched with tankini swim tops designed to provide body coverage. Designs include keyhole necklines with front and back cutouts, high necks, and scoop necks. Colors range from blue to black and white, multicolor floral, and metallic foil prints.

A longer torso on a woman of average height is 17 inches or longer. A longer torso on a taller woman is at least 19 inches long or longer. Longitude designs its suits for swimmers who are taller than average and who also have longer torsos. Plus-size swimsuits fit bra sizes C or D with a molded cup as part of the design.

• A high-neck tankini will cover approximately 14 to 15 inches of torso.
• A wrap swimsuit design can fit a larger or a smaller bust size than a molded cup.
• Most Longitude one-piece designs fit true to misses or plus sizes.
