I'll second this! I've been messing around with my PFD since I discovered
how useless it is, and have figured out that it's just a bit too long. I'm
more hourglass shaped than pear shaped, but even so  my circumference where
the so-called waist strap hits me, just about at my hips, is a good 5-6
inches bigger than any part of my body above that spot. No wonder it wanted
to come right off over my head!

A couple of people have suggested I check out Lotus Designs, since they
design PFDs specifically for woman. Can anyone provide contact info for
Lotus Designs? Do they have a website or an 800 number? Thanks
