I bought a friend of mine a Zoot one-piece tri-suit and it worked out pretty well. She has a long torso and is taller, so we were a bit skeptical, but it actually fit pretty comfortably. One-piece might be the way to go - even I have noticed some of the tri tops are short torsoed and I HAVE a short torso. I also gave her a tri top I bought from TE, I think it was from DeSoto, it was super long in the torso and big on me, so they must exist out there somewhere, though I could swear things are getting shorter as time goes on.
