Hey there,
I wouldn't worry too much. Leisure pro carries a size 16. I don't know if sizes differ between brands of suits, but you can try that. Perhaps a mens wetsuit?

I know as a larger Man, I dive in BARE wetsuits, and I believe they carry women's suits through 18.

Deleated because it was a bit over the rude line.

Thanks everyone. That's helpful. I wondered if some women didn't get a men's suit. I know I'm not the biggest girl to ever buy a wetsuit!
Yes...lose some weight...I need to and I'm in the process, but that will take a bit of time, and I'd like to get my wetsuit pretty quick.
Some good tips here. I'll check them out.

I'm not a big girl, but I use a men's suit...the women's one in the brand/type I want just doesn't fit as well 
Get what fits, forget about if they build in bumps

Harvey's caters to bigger girls. I am short (5'4") and I have a 3mm fullsuit from them 3XXX short no need to go custom! Ran me about $300. But I usually wear my 2mm XSScuba XXXL men's shortie which I LOVE. If you are going to be in warm water that is what I recommend, since us big girls have our own insulation!!! It ran me about $90, good luck!!! I am also looking at Tommy D's Sports, they have XXXL women's shorties that I like the looks of... only $40, thinking about a backup for myself.
I use a couple of Tommy's wet suits and they are great for a reasonable price.
