2016 for me has been an incredible year. Marrying and settling down with one of my oldest friends has been a dream come true.
With the new year imminent I find myself looking forward to our honeymoon in Australia in April...and the need to get in shape! I am also reminded of the annual issue of finding swimwear that doesn't give me a permanent wedgie.

Swimwear comes in a standard size for the average sized woman. Unfortunately for myself and many others that means swimsuits generally aren't long enough and end up looking like a thong or revealing more cleavage than I'd like.
You may think this a strange time to be looking for bikinis if like for myself it is the depths of winter right now but it's a great time to pick up a cheaper kini that are usually pricier with the added inch of fabric that we need!
So for all the women out there over 5ft 10 who feel the struggle and are looking forward to their holidays in warmer climates, here are 3 swimsuits that cater to our longer than average torsos...
