Hello!
I am a relatively new diver, about to go on another scuba trip, and I wanted to buy my own shorty for diving in the Carribbean. My local dive shop didn't have any that fit me, though. I'm a 5'11 inch woman, about 200 pounds, and I'm like the purdue chicken, all breast and thigh! The only women's suits I could find took two people to get me into, and that's kind of embarassing. When I rent a suit, they have to give me a men's suit, which is really tight on my thighs, and really loose around my waist and arms. Are there any brands out there that people can recommend to me? I appreciate it.
 
Did you try a Henderson hyerstretch suit.
A little more giving and a little more expensive.

Might try a men's XL.

BTW I would go with a full suit as opposed to a shorty - for protection from stuff rather than for additional warmth.
