Any recommendations for manufacturers or custom suit makers for a plus sized girl? I'm looking to spend as little money as possible and still get a suit that fits me and protects me. I only need a 3mm suit, if I'm ever going to be in something cold enough to need a 5 or 7 mm I'm going to get a dry suit!
I'm 5'6" and weight a smidge over 200 lbs. 40 waist is the only one of my measurements I know for sure, bust is probably somewhere around 45 in, hips around the same. In regular clothing I wear a women's 18/20. I've tried on a Men's XL short from Aqua Lung with the hyperstretch - it fit PERFECTLY, except in the neck! It gapped a lot there and we all agreed that it was because of my chest and that it would let too much water in to work properly. I'd love to find a suit that has either an adjustable neck that can be tightened or is better suited specifically to larger women and takes into account a larger chest.
