Success! I left the LDS (a different one than I talked about in my thread, and I had an EXCELLENT experience with them) today with a Deep Sea 3mm Women's XL and a L lycra dive skin. After trying on the suit alone and seeing it fit great but took a lot of fidgeting to get it settled, she suggested the dive skin underneath - WOW what a difference! Slid that suit on and off like butter! The neck is adjustable and everything fit great with excellent range of motion.
Total cost for both suits with tax: $175!
I'm exceedingly happy.

Congratulations! When and where do you break it in?

Be sure to rinse it well in the shower or as home. Chlorine levels can vary but it's never the best thing for your suit. If it has any flashy color it would be a shame to bleach them down before the fishies see them.
Good luck with the check-outs, doing them in the Keys I take it?

Now it's time to start looking for a 7mm. Scubatoys and LeisurePro both have a 7mm two piece jumpsuit/jacket combo for $130, in either men's or women's. I'm just worried about the largest women's fitting me and if it won't, being able to exchange it for a men's. I'll probably go with ScubaToys if they will let me exchange women's for men's, as LP's site says they will not. I'll be needing a 7mm for a northern Ohio dive in April!

Your roughly my wife's size, and she went with a mens XL short Bare Progressive suit. She likes the stretch to help her get it on and off. She's dove in the mid 60's with no problems.
