I got the 'skulls' one. Isn't the fit great?! I was pleasantly surprised as I've never had luck with regular primal jerseys. TE did a great job with updating/customizing the fit!
my 11-year-old son said it made me look skinny...I should get a dozen LOL
Muirenn - there is a picture of me wearing the skulls one somewhere here at TE. I think it was in a post about the TE jerseys on the main cycling related forum.

I ordered the Pure Bliss jersey. I don't normally buy much in the way of bike specific clothing, and when I do, it's usually end-of-season sale items. But I had a mediocre summer, then my father died just a month ago, and I saw this jersey and decided to treat myself. It looks so pretty. I hope it either fits perfectly and I will wear it always, or it doesn't fit and I don't have to think about how much I spent on a jersey :o
I think I'd probably stick with a Medium if I were you. There is a little room for error in this jersey and honestly, the medium is a bit big in the bust on me anyway. I typically go with smalls because I have a small chest and waist, so I'm not sure how that compares to you. There is plenty of room in the shoulder and upper arms (where I'm more a standard medium) so I think you'd probably find the large to be just too roomy.
I'm not real thrilled with the fit of this jersey. Normally, I have issues with the sleeve/shoulder area being too tight due to weight lifting. I ordered the skulls jersey in a small and while it fits fine in the waist and hip area, it is huge underneath the arms towards the back. If I raise my arms the area just bags. :( The fit across the bust is fine so it's just weird that this one area is so big.
Do all Primals fit this way? I really would like to get the Maiden jersey but not if the fit is the same. :(
The fit of this jersey is VERY different from other Primal Wear jerseys. I can't say exactly how, but this jersey fits me great and normally Primal jerseys do not. I cant' remember exactly, but I'm pretty certain one of the problems I had with Primal was that the arms were way too small for me (I've got guns). I vaguely remember the waist being too big and the hips too small, too....so they may be cut straighter than this jersey?
I would call the great folks at TE and talk to them about it. They can tell you exactly what they changed about the fit on this jersey compared to a typical Primal one.
My Pure Bliss jersey is the same. It's shaped like a triangle - big around the top and under the arms, but narrow around the hips. And the stiffness of the full zipper prevents all that fabric from draping smoothly down the front. It's such a pretty jersey, too.
