Depending on your shape the youth wetsuits may or may not work. If you are straight up and down, don't have much of a chest, waist, hips or even shoulders, there is a better chance of the youth sizes fitting. Definitely try as many suits on as possible. I'm 5'2"/90lbs. The best solution for me, after trying on suit after suit after suit after suit, was to get a suit that was on sale (there are some good deals out there) which was slightly large in some areas and have it taken in/shortened. Cheaper than custom and if you get a good deal on a suit, it can make up for the cost of alterations. You may even come out ahead if you can find a closeout/overstock suit for around $100. And since you are going to have it taken in, you don't have to worry so much about the fit.
