buy Used Women
not sure what size that equates to as I'm a male... but that may be an option. Looks like 16 is the biggest size most manufacturers make.

Waterproof USA
they may be able to help too

should mention about the NESS stuff, those wetsuits are all new I think, just old stock

Hi coocoobird,

I think you're in the realm of a custom suit. here is some information on that topic.

We have had good lick working with Atlan.

I hear good things about Wetwear. Others will crhme in with other makers. A quick search here using custom wetsuit as the search terms will turn ip lots of quick info.

Fit is most important in a wetsuit. Comfort and warmth follow fit. Some manufacturers like Waterproof, Pinnacle make 'tween sizes like XLshort, Medium Tall. I think Henderson makes some King/Queen sizes. If you are not a stock size (most folks aren't), consider custom wetsuits which are usually no more expensive than some of the high end brand name suits. My preference is Wetwear (Welcome to Wetwear - Custom Wet Suits of Rubatex Neoprene for Scuba Diving and All Water Activities).
Here's a thread on wetwear

Good luck.

Here is a size chart for the Waterproof brand women's wetsuits. They do have size charts on their website, but I find them a little bit tricker to compare because they have separate charts for "regular" "tall" "plus" etc. On this one you can see them all together and compare and contrast.



Waterproof has their 3mm Capri fullsuit on close-out right now for $99 (they have new models/colors out now). I see they do have XXL in stock right now. I don't know whether this would fit you or not, but I can say they are very nice suits with good features (double wrists and cuffs, etc.) (I have one and felt it was worth the money even when it was more than twice that price before the close out).

Link that should lead to the Capri 3mm on close-out: http://waterproof-store.mwrc.net/en/product.php?product_id=33578

A couple of other custom suit makers that I've heard good things about (I considered a custom suit) are Terrapin, Horizon, and JMJ.
