My waist is 31" and my hips are 41". My Do has trouble when meeting my hips, which tend to be slightly larger due to wearing a Hakama, Gi, and Tare. The opening at the back of my Do measures 16". The Height of the Do down the center at the front is 14". When I measured the belly at the front it was 27". The mune at the center is 9 1/8"; gets wider as it travels down. I love my big Do ^0^;; My hips used to be 42"... but I don't know what happened.... I still love my child bearing hips though ^^;
