My younger tighter body was able to get away with grabbing the first cute print I saw on the swimsuit rack.  Boy have times changed.  I still like two piece suits.  They just feel more comfortable on my long body.  But because of the new addition (the "mom squish"), if tankini tops aren't long enough, they give me what I lovingly refer to as a jelly roll.  Like I need something that accentuates <em>that</em>.  

I now look for suits that are a bit more supportive. And tops with a 'long torso' option are a must!  Lands End is known for great quality, and backing up their products if something wears out quickly or doesn't live up to your expectations.  They are not the cheapest, and don't have a lot of trendy suits.  But they are made well, are comfortable, and last for years.
