I am fortunate enough to have received my mothers shapewear in which she had a long torso also. It's amazing how well these products lasted and how long they held up and remained comfortable after all these years. Truly sad that shapewear has fallen to the 'average' size and neglected tall or short individuals. I doubt that torso sizing will ever come back. In the mean time, I would suggest a Rago 6210, a non-descript waist cincher, and a long line bra (Rago, Cortland or Exquisite Form). That surely will fulfilled your needs or desires.
