How to find the Correct Fit for a Saddle (for the rider)

this is also true B&T, cos going by butt size i would probably be in smaller seat, but my long thighs prevent that (knee would hang over flap).
Wasnt it something like the length of your thigh in inches is the saddle size you need?

But i guess if you had short thigh and big butt you would need bigger saddle anyway, so it comes down to both!

Well today I went to HL and sat in a few saddles and I was a 17.5. Felt ALOT better!! The girls were really good too and said it was my size as I have long legs. (I thought it was to do with your butt size!) Well now I just have to make the decision on the saddle! Thanks for the advice!
