How to try a wetsuit? What does 'fit' mean?

[WetFatCat]

I understand that the best way to try is a real dive but I don't think that I have possibility to rent a wide variety of suits to try.
Do you have any tips about how to 'try' it in a store? What are important and what not?
I'd like to have my own suit because I prefer not to rent personal things and believe that improving buoyancy control is pretty hard if I have different suits for every dive.
Appreciate any thoughts.
