Fit model needed - Castelli

[Susan Otcenas]

I'm posting this on behalf of one of our vendors. They are located in Portland, OR, and need someone local. Also, I understand that these are paid fittings. I don't have any additional information, so please use the contact information in this posting for more details.

Castelli USA is looking for a women's fit model. They need an avid cyclist that is close to the following measurements:

Bust - 35"
Waist - 28 3/4"
Hips - 38 1/4"
Height - 5' 8" - 5' 10"


If interested, please send a description of your cycling history and your measurements to Meg Okies at mcokies@castelli-us.com. A photo would be helpful, but is not required.

I wish!!!

Amazingly enough, those measurements match mine almost exactly, except I'm a little bustier. I'm also 4-5 inches too short! :D I told them they could use me in a pinch - they're located across town from us.

Obviously anything Castelli has gotta fit tight /snug creaseless on whomever models it. Those measurements in 1/4 inch increments look atypical. Usually its 1/2 inch increments if any measurements exceed a full inch.

I have given up the fantasy that there there will ever be a generous measurement differential between my bust and waistline. Even in my skinniest (underweight) years, I could not get the tummy to go down..for the hr.glass look.

Yes, I'm almost a perfect match too!...give or take 6 inches here and there.
And knock off 4" in height as well. :cool:

Yikes, are there really women like that...maybe Xena is available? ;)

lol, me too, but knock off 5" from the height.

[Wahine]

I'm only 1" short. Think I might apply.

[Aint Doody]

You do it, Wahine. When they see you, they'll shout for joy!

Yeah, like really! Go for it!

I'm so tired of seeing biking wear modeled by thin young models with absolutely no muscle mass. :mad:

From the description it sounds like they aren't looking for a photographic model - but rather someone to be the body they base the size on. Yes I wish they were looking for someone my size :rolleyes:, but I think they probably do the sizing on a medium sized person, then scale up and down for the others??? Any seamstresses or designers in the know? Ivona?

If you get it, Wahine, you'll know Castelli fits the way you like it!

[Wahine]

I sent my info and the people were enthusiastic. Eden is right, they are looking for someone to fit the clothes to and I believe it is a medium size they want. Unfortunately it might be too much of a time commitment for me since it would require trips into Portland as often as once per week during the development phases. So I suggested they should try to find someone more local and let me know if they get stuck and want to try to work something out with me. :(

Too bad. It would've been fun. And besides, I could've bragged about being a Castelli model (I could just leave the fit part out). ;)

This is why Castelli doesn't fit me. :p

[OakLeaf]

Yet another brand where I'm in the no-woman's-land between a small and a medium :rolleyes:

[7rider]

I've got the height. Maybe I'll call 'em when I lose my 20 pounds! :rolleyes:
