I am very large breasted
I am a size 4 on bottoms
I am a size 8 on tops
I ordered and got an Aqualung Hydroflex shorty in a size 12
Its tight on the top but closes and everything
But on the bottom the legs are loose a lot
Will this work or not ?
Thanks
 
It will work but water will easily flow in and out of the loose bottoms which will offset some of the exposure protection- important if you're using it in cooler waters. Otherwise, the loose fitting part of the bottoms is going to be an annoyance at worst.

Unless a moray eel swims in there.
 
If it fits comfortably on top without being too tight or restrictive, it might be worth having it altered so that the bottom is a better fit. A separate top & bottom might also be a possibility to get the right sizes needed - not sure about finding a top with short sleeves but you can definitely get vests and shorts. Good luck - right-sized women's wetsuits always seem to be a challenge !
 
Hey Melanie,
the struggle is real... I have a round bum, small waist and big boobs. Plus, I'm short. trying to get a full length wet suit is a nightmare and a half. either legs and arms are too long, or breasts get squished :(
a shorty is somewhat easier, just its really really really baggy.

I use shorts and rash guard for warm water diving. if you're set on wearing a shorty, try get some tight shorts to wear under the wet suit? this might help a bit maybe?

Good luck!
