Art.chick definitely nailed the center of my dilemma, my growing teenager.
Checking for creases would never have occurred to me. Woolite! Hey I have that in my cupboard.
And, trying on the different brands in shops to find the best fit for our partcular shapes, good advice. Actually, contrary to my initial response, renting for a while (using prudence) may be the wisest solution. Let's face it, none of us are made exactly alike. Yet, each wetsuit manufacturer has its cookie cutter. Before I invest I'll try to find out if any of those cookie cutters resembles me. And, I'll be looking for those winter sales this year!!
As for the teenager, well, she may dump this sport (and her Mom (;-0 ) for something more compelling soon. But at least she will have this under her belt when she does!
Anyway, thanks to you all! I love this place (Scubaboard)!!
