Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a gi cut especially for women? The ones I have used have been the traditional style, seeming to be cut for men because the ties hit me right at the widest part of my hips. So I can't really even make the ties meet properly unless I hike the jacket way up, which is uncomfortable and looks crummy.

Most of the women in my class have this problem with the dojo-issued gi.

Thoughts?
