I was just wondering if any of you girls have suggestions for wetsuit brands to fit women who are "ample" up top. I'm average everywhere else, so if I buy a bigger size, there's too much suit. Same goes for BC's...any preferences on the women's designs? I've used unisex BC's up to this point, but now I need one that's fairly roomy in the chest.

For a wetsuit, ask your LDS about a custom. Also, try on a Henderson Hyperstretch suit.
Ok Chig. If your ample on top (God must have been good to you), you really should consider a custom suit. You're really not going to pay much more than you would for a quality rack suit. I got my custom wetsuit from Liquid Fit. You wouldn't believe the breast measurements that they require......above the B, below the B, at the B, nip to nip.....bra size, cup size, social security number....................in other words it is fit to you.....
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me";

Thanks so much for the suggestions. The more I think about it, I probably will end up going with a custom suit. I toyed with the idea last year, but this year I think I'm just going to do it. I'm guessing they can accomodate just about any size. (I'm a DD with normal proportions everywhere else...must be those Italian genes! LOL).
I have a Scubapro Classic BC, which buckles across the chest, and it's just become too uncomfortable. My old wetsuits squish me down just enough, but comfort is key. Think I'll look into one of the ladies BCs too. Thanks again!
I suffer from the exact same problem and I find the Diva to be perfect. No buckle across the chest but rather a lycra "bra" type thing. Doesn't give me speed bump boob either! I have a run of the mill wetsuit that smooshes me flat, but I can still breathe ok. Good luck on your quest for good fitting gear!
Notice the two straps - one comes over each shoulder then runs around the outside of your chest on each side, and back under your arm to the plate. There is no chest strap. There are no bladders to squeeze your chest. It is infinitely adjustable, so you can achieve a perfect fit for you. Worth consideration.
If you're looking for a wetsuit....all I can say is..
LIQUIDFIT, LIQUIDFIT, LIQUIDFIT!!
Im not "ample" on the top, but I sure make up for it in the hips!!!! I dive the DivaLX and love it! It is a "Dragon Fly" design, giving you the best of a back inflate and jacket style BC.
