I cant get jerseys to fit a flat chest( Im a A cup).
Mens are too large, in the small and womens make a wierd s curve, with nothing to fill it out, because of darts.
The only one I found yet that fit, was Netti size 8 ( but cant always find except online) for short sleeve jerseys but would like better quality one.
I prefer ones that have a full zip, so this is why I have this problem.
Any help?
Terry x-smalls fit me perfectly. No elastic and not too long, either.
I am pretty flat chested and full-zip jerseys (those that I have tried anyway) do not work well for me, they always sort of bunch up.
I find that Retro Image Apparel jerseys fit me well (although I order a size up from the usual). I also have a Hincapie jersey that's great. Shebeest jerseys don't really work for me. Sugoi is generally okay. Not sure what is available in Australia though.
I'm a 34A, usually a size small jersey (about a US size 4 on top). Castelli and Gore fit me like a glove. I'm a small in Gore. I used to be a small in Castelli -- they changed their sizing in 2008 (I think?) and I haven't bought any jerseys from them since then, but I think I will be an XS in their tops now.
I would look at Craft as well.
Etxeondo (most of their line) and Assos SS Lady work for me (34A). Both have full zips and "shrink-to-fit" your torso. The Assos jersey is a bit short, tho. Giordana made a S/S jersey last year called the "Forma" that was good, too. And my team kit is by Voler and they make a full zip women's race cut that I like as well.
Castelli doesn't make full zip S/S jerseys for the most part.
That's true about Castelli, they don't do a lot of full-zip for women, I missed that the OP wanted full zip first time around.
How tall are you? At 5'6", Giordana jerseys tend to be way too short on me.
Has anybody tried Campy clothing? They have a few nice looking pieces, including full-zip jerseys for women.
I have a few Campagnolo jerseys. They look sharp but I'm not enthralled with their fabrics (not like Etxeondo!) especially for the price. The fabric is similar to the old Bergamos, before they became Capo... very thin.
I too run small in the boob region - barely fill an A cup! I only have a few jerseys and none are full zipper put I have a pearl izumi, jaggad and netti jersey that fit well. Jaggad (I think is an Australian brand and they have a warehouse in the U.S I think) fits particularly well. They often have cheap online sales but just check because some of the sale stock is event branded.
Sorry forgot to mention that in pearl izumi I fit a small but for jaggad definitely an xs. good luck!
Race cut jerseys.
If length or fit in the shoulders is an issue for ones small enough in circumference, go with men's. I usually wear XS men's race cut jerseys.
Descente seems to have some full zip jerseys for women. I was looking at them today in store ...just checking out the new inventory in store.
I wear XS. I'm pretty small-boned up top with part of my problem is that I have a narrow back width plus small boobs and short arms. For cycling, I prefer that the overall fit at shoulder and top body style line at sides fit me with a bit of looseness for cycling comfort. Full zipper length jerseys just don't do anything for me plus I don't want to feel the zipper against my stomach skin

So other people have also discovered that XS doesn't mean that it will fit! Amazing! I am not alone in the universe!
The best one I have found so far is the Craft Performance Glow jersey
The XS is a nice tidy size for my chest (which is 30.5 around at its largest part) and waist, although it is a tad bit long (to be expected since my torso is petite)
You can always pay a tailor to bring the bottom elastic up but its expensive - like $20 or $25.
