I’ve decided its new season new bee suit time. Any recommendations for a suit for a 5 foot 11 slim build female.
Every Bee suit I have ever worn is designed with the average Weeble in mind! I just want something functional and comfortable

Sheriff or BB Wear. Excellent quality, last you years. There will be deals at all the upcoming shows/ conventions
 
I took a punt last night and bought a £20 suit from Wish. I'll report when it arrives and no I am not using it, I bought it for a half hour show the bees type demonstration.

Depends if you want to "perspire" a lot or do your beekeeping in relative comfort.
I'd highly recommend a ventilated suit. I have a baggy Ozarmour one and in summer beekeep in my shorts and stay nice and cool. Not cheap but worth every penny, yet to take a sting through them. Downside is they are dirt magnets.

I have a BBWear suit and was able to visit their premises in Truro to make sure it fitted in all the right places before I purchased. You are quite a way from Truro but maybe you could call them on the telephone with your vital statistics and see what they recommend - they might be able to make a suit just for you but don't expect a discount for a custom made suit!.

Now have four Sherriff suits of various ages.... free repairs and lifetime zip replacement.... latest is their new ventillated one as expecting a long hot summer!

Wonder when they will produce a rain proof one!

Hey Barbie Bee, if you did get one of the women's suits from Old Castle farms I'd be interested to know it they actually fit better.
I saw them online the other day, but hard to know if they're really shaped better in all the appropriate places(!), or just the same thing but with a woman's dress size label.
