If you’re still in the market I love my 7mil Deep6 suit. It’s easier to don and doff than the aqualung 5mil I had in class. And there are some awesome features.
 
I tried on several 7mm wetsuits, including the Bare Velocity, and ended up with the Henderson Thermaxx. Stretchiness--ease of donning and doffing, and of moving-- was my top criterion. Plus it was cheaper. Might be worth checking out. Ultimately fit is more important than brand. Good luck finding something that works for you.
My fiance is cold in the caribbean in a 7mm.She wants something to keep her warm (#1) but not massively difficult to put on/off. So the Bare Evoke was a bear to put on, though probably would keep her warm. The Henderson Thermaxx looks really easy to get on, hopefully keeps her warm!

Does she wear a full skin under? Really helps getting a thicker wetsuit on.
