I have found and heard of several shops that I was unfamiliar with. Some are called "tall" swimsuits, and some are geared toward "modesty", but give tall women that extra length we're looking for.

Here are some of the sites that may have possibilities for tall swimwear:

<a href="http://www.divinitasole.com/">Divinita Sole</a> (Lots of great options for tall ladies. I bought one last year, and it was plenty long for my 6'1" frame. The site is a bit weird, the suits are not cheap, and shipping is double what it should be. But if you can live with those drawbacks, the suits are great. The fit and quality- at least on the suit I bought, were great.)

<a href="http://www.hapari.com/modest-tankinis/">Hapari</a> (Has lots of cute tankinis, some look long and some have rouched sides that are adjustable.)

<a href="http://www.limericki.com/WOMEN/TANKINI-TOPS">Lime Ricki</a> (My niece bought a suit there last summer, and it was super cute. The pictures on their site threw me off, because the model looks about 14. I had to double check sizing to make sure they were women's sizes, but they are.) The suit pictured above is from Lime Ricki.

<a href="http://us.longtallsally.com/c/tall/swimwear">Long Tall Sally</a> has a few suits, and tall is their specialty. But some of the tankinis look awfully short on the models. So maybe the bust placement will be good, but not sure about torso length.

<a href="http://downeastbasics.com/swim.aspx">Downeast Basics</a> (They have only a couple tankinis that look long enough. Most look barely long enough for the models, so I'm sure they wouldn't cover me.)

<a href="http://www.shadeclothing.com/shop/asst_department.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306255949&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524445998255&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395917465&bmUID=1370147229514">Shade</a> used to have a decent selection of long suits, but when I searched swim on their site it looks like the little bit of swimwear they have left is on clearance. Maybe they are discontinuing swimwear? :( Bummed. 

<a href="http://www.popinaswimwear.com/">Popina</a> is a site I came across with retro suits, but I don't know much about them.

<a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=2&pid=384943042">Old Navy</a> does have a couple "tall suits" but they don't look very promising (at least if you care about torso length, I can't speak for the bust placement). I haven't had much luck with Old Navy or Gap when it comes to tall swimsuits.

<a href="http://www.reyswimwear.com/">Rey Swimwear</a> also has some retro looking suits that look like they run long.
