Can anyone vouch for the compatibility of Etxe Ondo tops with short-waisted busty torsos? I noticed that their tights tend to run petite, so I have hope that, euro non-vanity sizing aside, the tops will also run to petite as well?
Clearly, I need some of that pretty blue euro sexiness to go with my Orbea... :rolleyes:
D---I LOVE Exte Ondos jerseys. Ironically, I've found the tops to run small while the bottoms run a bit larger than normal, particularly for a European manufacturer. I'm petite in terms of bone structure and I usually wear a small. With most American-sized tops, I find myself having plenty of extra room in the bust area because I don't have much going on there. With the EO tops, the medium fits fine, close enough to the body but not confining.

In a jersey comparison, I wear a small in Castelli, small/medium in Assos and XS for just about everyone else.
Like VB, I don't have much in the boobage department, but the EO jerseys fit me fine. No "airspace" up top, IYKWIM. Not sure if it will accommodate more ample bosoms, but it is very stretchy so it may work for you.
How is the torso length on Exte Ondo jerseys? My chest is flat but if I'm going to have fit problems it's usually that the jersey is just too short. I'm 5'6", but longish torso for my height I guess.
Castelli, Gore and Sportful are all good fits for me length and otherwise in small. I have a small Giordana jersey I got on clearance at Sierra Trading post and it seems to be cut for someone who is about 4'11". (Note to self: Don't tear the tags off before you try it on ;) ).
I find the EO tops' length to be longer than Sugoi and PI, but not quite as long as Castelli. I'm 5-1 with a proportionately long torso and the bottom hems (size Small) hit me right around mid-belly. It might be different for someone taller. I also wear bibs 90% of the time so if there is any ride-up on the back, I'm not aware of it. Hope this helps.
Dianyla,
Here on the Terry site, it says that Exte Ondo tops "run small" and to order up a size:

I notice also that no one who actually is busty has replied to your thread.
These two things indicate to me that perhaps ample chested women are not wearing this brand of top. Of course there's one way to find out!
