This is the most common fit challenge with one-piece suits. Some brands offer tall and petite sizing that adjusts the torso-to-leg ratio. If you have significantly different proportions, look for brands with dedicated tall or short inseam options. Avoid the temptation to size up for length and accept a loose torso—this undermines the suit's moisture-wicking performance and can cause bunching. A better option may be separates if you cannot find a one-piece that fits both areas.
