Posting this on behalf of my now v happy fiance

Just found a textile armoured 2pc which fits her perfectly
Dont know if any of the women on the forum are over the perfect 10 size which all clothing companys think u should be but she is (only a 16/18 mind not massive )
Well up untill now she has had to go for mens kit which does not fit well at all.

Went to our local GT motorcycles yesterday and found a kit made by LEWIS . which does realistic womens sizes . not like dainese .

Looks really good stuff and fits really well
RECOMENDED

yeah im one of those of ample figure too. I got leathers from hein gericke that fit ok but had problem with textiles. my bf has just bought me a jacket that was reduced from £200 to £75 so hopefully it will fit. will try and remember that name though

my main problem is boots though have problems getting them to fit my calves

me too..... wanted a pair of boots... tried loads on but couldnt do them up... had to get a pair with extra wide fitting.... and its not like I got huge calves either

Im also of ample figure and getting stuff to fit is a nightmare. Got my leathers from Dobbs' in Northampton. They tailor too so if Id needed adjustments then np..

For boots try Daytone LadyStars. They have adjustable velcro bits on the calf backs and also lifts in the boot, to make you about 1" taller. I've had a pari for about a year and am really plreased with them, apart from stiff zips which were cured with ample application of candle wax.

If you have a real problem finding boots to fit, try Altberg in Richmond, Yorkshire. They are experts in making boots.

I got some of their boots last summer, and can recommend them. You really need to visit their place (boots are made on site to order) and get measured etc. They can make to whatever spec you want within reason, they'll even make a dedicated "last" for you at a price if you've got really weird feet.

I managed to get some boots they had in stock (don't normally carry stock, usually made to order) which were a "semi-narrow" fitting made by mistake for someone but which fitted me perfectly. £115. Very sturdy, totally waterproof so far.
