Good video on different female carry methods.

My wife was in the same situation, she carries a XD sub compact which is a little chunky. The clothes she wears didn't allow for IWB carry, and she didn't want to carry OWB.
I got her several different holsters, including a belly band, and none seemed to work for her. I got one of these for her and she really likes it, conceals very well under a loose shirt. She has the Air Marshall.

I have worked w/ many ladies from all kinds of different age groups, body types, etc. to find a good carry system for them.
Some of the abovementioned options (bellyband, "flashbang" bra holster, & Kangaroo holster) have worked for some of our students.
The Remora holster and the minimalist style holsters like the "Thunderwear", "Smartcarry", and the neoprene designs made in a similar manner are other good options.
Selecting the right gun and a willingness to dress around the gun will go a long way toward finding the right option for each person male or female.
Trial & error is usually required too.
Many ladies fall back on purse carry partially due to an unwillingness to modify their dress or because of a lack of good concealment holsters to be found locally.
While it does have severe disadvantages & requires a much more vigilant level of awareness, it is often better than leaving it at home.
Still nothing beats having it on your person. Rule #1 of a gunfight is to have one... preferably on you.

Wife carries her Glock 23 in a garter holster (inner thigh) when in a dress, and in a bacustomkydex belt less IWB when in pants.
Why did this thread need to become serious? A solid beginning and then it kinda petered out.
This was helpful actually.
