Standard women’s sizes are too small. Henderson used to make a larger women’s size (love my 7mm) seems they don’t now. My old 3mm was a custom Oceaner, but they are not responding and dive shop has closed.
A Bare or Henderson men’s XXL fits in the core but not even close in the legs, way too long and wide. I loved the ankle zippers on my custom suit. I bought a Bare 2mm exosuit(?) and it is good in Caribbean spring (summer, fall) but I don’t think it will be warm enough in Dec. it is also huge in the legs.
At 63, I don’t want to spend a fortune, is there anyone who does a reasonable custom 3mm?
Thanks!

What's wrong or so special about being 63 and not wanting to spend a "fortune" on a properly fitting suit?
 
So, no input from anyone not blocked? Okay :-(
 
Not sure what your budget is, my friends and I use JMJ wetsuits.
I have been quite happy with the quality and fit.
For me I’ve had them make a 7mm fullsuit, 5mm hooded vest, 5mm long sleeve shortie, and custom hood. All fit well and have taken lots of abuse and still look feel and fit well.
