Call me gramps!
You know, when I 1st read the title to this thread, I envisioned a grossly overweight slob -- I was wrong... very wrong.
Anyways, I think someone mentioned it before, but those seatbelt adjusters should do the trick. My little cousin uses it, and it works great.

You have to get to know me to experience my humor...
besides, a reduction is expensive...more expensive than custom belts. And they lose sensitivity, just like an enlargment does. no knives for these, thanx

Raising the seat sounds like the best option. Moving the seat belt mount point is probably not very safe unless you have a roll bar and use harnesses, but I know you don't want that. It is important to mount the seat such that it won't come loose in an accident. I don't think long bolts with a stack of washers will be safe if the stack needs to be anything higher than 1/2" or so. Doing some fitting with washers and then having some solid spacers made would be okay. An aftermarket seat that mounts higher than stock is also an option. People spend a lot of effort trying to mount their aftermarket seats low, so it is probably relatively easy to mount it high.

You can usually buy SAE brass ones at any good hardware store. I would not use aluminum.

Not to be funny or anything, but did you ever consider a booster seat or maybe even some plush seat cushions to raise you (and the DD's 
) higher in the seat? This might have been mentioned already, but I don't feel like reading through all the posts. And as far as no bra being an option... my ex-girlfriend used Band-Aids

1: Lowering the upper seatbelt mounting point will bring the belt down to a comfortable position, but may weaken the belt causing it to fail in an accident.
2: Using one of those short-people adapters that clip the upper and lower belts together should bring the upper belt to a comfortable level, but the clip could fail and also it may lift the lower belt away from the hips causing internal injury in an accident.
3: Raising the seat would probably work pretty well, but you'll have to go pretty heavy on the hardware to make it safe and no one over about 5'8" will be able to drive the car. (I vote no on this option for mostly selfish reasons...)
4: A "booster" cushion should bring you up to the correct level without making any serious changes to the car. Since it's removable, you can still allow a taller person to drive it. The only shortcoming I see is that it may not offer enough support for those "spirited" driving.
Anyone have any more input?
