English clothing for the larger rider

Hello! I am a female dressage rider in the midwest who is having a dickens of a time figuring out what size breeches to buy!! I cannot find a store that carries anything larger than maybe a Medium, and the salespeople have given me different answers when I ask about a conversion size.

Can anyone help me determine the correct size to buy via catalog/ebay/etc. that would fit someone who wears an 18/20 in normal street clothes? Thanks much!!

Hi Tara: I can't help you with the sizing as such but try and find a store or a source that carries a line called Fuller Fillies. It has done the job for me. Gail Morse.

Everyone, thank you for your input! I have gone to the Fuller Fillies website & was very happy with what they offer & the prices were reasonable (order through SmartPak). I took the opportunity to contact them with my measurements to get a size recommendation, hopefully I will be shopping soon!
Happy riding. Tara =-)
