Do Your Swimsuits Fit Tall Plus-Size Bodies? Here's What You Need to Know

If you're tall and plus-size, finding a swimsuit that actually fits can feel impossible. Too short in the body, too tight across the hips, or gaping at the chest - the high street rarely gets it right for bodies that don't fit neatly into a size 12.

We hear this question a lot: "I'm 6'2" and a size 20 - will your swimsuits work for me?"

The short answer is yes. Here's why.

Our swimsuits are made from four-way stretch fabric

All of our recycled one-piece swimsuits are made from a 75% recycled polyester, 25% elastane blend with genuine four-way stretch. That means the fabric moves in every direction - up, down, and side to side - adapting to your body rather than fighting it.

For taller frames, this is a game-changer. The fabric stretches to accommodate a longer torso without pulling down at the straps or riding up at the bottom.

How to size for a tall plus-size body

We recommend sizing by your hips first. If you're between sizes, size up - the stretch fabric will accommodate the extra torso length, and a slightly roomier hip fit will be far more comfortable than one that's too snug.

Our size guide includes chest, waist, and hip measurements in both inches and centimetres - always measure yourself before ordering rather than going by your usual high street size, as our sizing runs true to the measurements rather than to vanity sizing.

What our customers say

Ally-Kat, a UK size 18, wears a 2XL and loves the fit. Our swimsuits are regularly worn by customers in sizes 2XS through 7XL, across a wide range of heights and body shapes.

Which swimsuits are best for longer torsos?

All of our recycled one-piece swimsuits are particularly well suited to longer torsos thanks to the four-way stretch fabric that adapts to your body. Whether you're wild swimming, at the lido, or just soaking up the sun, the fabric moves with you - not against you.
