Yeah, I don't have a teeny waist and I have hips, so youth sizes would be out. If I weighed what I did in my 20s it would work
I'm near the top of the weight range for my height/age. 127 pounds with a 31.5 inch waist (28 inch natural waist) and 36 inch hips.
I wasn't sure if a couple inches longer would be ok or not. I figured it would be, as long as the armor is in the right place, that's what matters.
