Voler - HUGE range of sizes and style choices. Best armwarmers on the planet. :) I've heard some positive feedback on their shorts but haven't tried them yet. Unfortunately, their vest and jackets are only unisex (which I hate as a term; it's a men's cut).
First, we chose the SQ Pro fabric which is their "team" fabric and a bit more expensive, silky and luxurious compared to the Aries Micro Plus which is commonly used for "event" jerseys (I've got MS150 and the Little Red Riding Hood jerseys in the Aries Micro Plus).
2nd, we chose set-in sleeves. While loads of people love raglan, those with large shoulders and large busts get a better fit with set-in and the sleeve style had to be universal. My knitting design books even talk about not putting large busted women in raglan sleeves. Since the TE crowd is a wider mix of body types compared to a race team, it seemed a reasonable choice.
3rd, 3/4 length zipper was also a universal decision but we could have gone with full length. Either is great for those of us who wear bibs or overheat, and for the guys (have you seen how many guys like the Velo Bella jerseys and the "Ride Like a Girl" socks)?
Because this was a full custom jersey order, we did have flexibility with the cut. Everyone was able to pick whether they wanted a "race cut" or a "club cut." Race cut means slightly tighter, slightly shorter (have to keep the sponsor logos across the butt on your shorts visible), and have elastic. Club cut means a slightly more relaxed fit and better for an hour glass or hippy figure, and no hem elastic.
A couple of extra notes about Voler, you can put a "secret" message inside the collar. I'm in the club cut jersey in these photos. You can also see the inside of the collar (credits to Veronica's creativity).

Last, because Voler has their retail line (velowear.com) and the team wanted a red jersey, I picked a red that matched their standard armwarmers. When we first ordered we weren't sure if we could get enough people to buy armwarmers to get custom, so choosing a color that would coordinate with a standard color from their retail line seemed a good option. Fortunately, it was a great color red. I'm just mentioning this because I'm not sure how extensive your project is. I love having matching armwarmers. It's like having a longsleeve jersey without the expense and better temp-management options during the ride. If you wanted, you could stock plain warmers in a matching color.
The sleeveless jerseys in this photo are race cut (though I've removed the elastic from mine and Jo hasn't - we're on the far right). The rest I think are club cut. I wish I looked as good as aka_kim(far left) in mine. :)
