a bit of a moan....

[gussetlil]

I have had a little looksy at the links kindly provided..........now I am more confused than ever. Although there seems to be more sizes available in the US (here in the uk if you are more than a UK size 16 there's no point in leaving the house let along trying to find diving suits that might fit !!! And another thing why is is that t-shirts and diving clothes don't go up to bigger sizes, unless you want to wear an unflattering mens t-shirt??

My curves are here to stay I think but I don't want it to stop me doing what I love (scuba - what else !!!) but it would be nice to have a little choice - if only the UK would wake up and realise that there are women who want to dive who have curves...........:upset: (that's my moan over with !!!!!)

I also find it difficult to get stuff to fit me. It seems that manufacturers, including clothing, seem to think that a size 9-10 cannot possibly be taller that 5'6" and that anyone needing a 11-12 or 13-14 must be 6'0".

Right!

There are a few wetsuit manufacturers (one of which is BARE) that have realized this shortcoming and offer Tall sizes now but otherwise it's custom suits!

What I don't understand is...when did a women's size 14 become a XXL? that's how Henderson lists it on their website size chart.

Ah, well...what can you do

Peace,

Who cares what they call it as long as it fits? Just be glad there's something out there you can get off the rack.
