Alas, those last 10 pounds were pretty much all from my boobs :rolleyes:Quote:
The other model's figure - think Jo about 10 pounds back.
jo "pass the kleenex" bob :o
( oh, you know I'm just kidding ... I never had 10 lbs worth of boobs to begin with )
OK, after tearing through all my jerseys, I discovered I have a Voler jersey! Yay! It's too small right now. Yay! Who cares, it's a mens club cut and I like it, so I'm ordering that. Then I'll hang it up on the closet door as incentive to stick to the dang diet!!!
Still don't know wtf about the arm warmers tho...

I hemmed and hawed about size a good bit too. I was on the cusp between the Large and X-Large. Would have been definitely an X-large last year 20 pounds ago. Will never lose the broad shoulders though. But I bit the bullet and went for just the Large. Even back before babies and in excellent BMI range I was never smaller than a 12. Not tall - just a broad BROAD! :D
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a big debate.
Ditto on the debate, I'm pretty sure the 3X I ordered will be a bit big but I didn't want anything clingy (no sense enhancing the "michelin man" look ;) ). I'm wondering though...can a jersey be taken-in?? I can't sew on a button but I know a good seamstress.
I think you resolved your dilemna but I just looked at my women's Race Cut Voler jersey. The waist is tapered in just a tid bit and the club cut will be the same. It is the hips that were made a bit more spacious.lQuote:

Lying flat on the table, the width of the top/bicep end and then the lentgth:
XS - 4 1/8" wide and 17" long
S - 4 1/2" and 17 1/4"
M - 5" and 18 1/8"
L - 5 3/8" and 18 3/8"
XL - 6 and 18 3/8"
The fabric is a nice thick lycra with a fuzzy interior. Should be really nice for the coming colder weather.
Sorry about the delayed response. Been out riding . . .
and what do the arm warmers look like, exactly? did you go with just red, or is there a matching design?
how would arm warmers look with a sleeveless jersey, anway?
~T~
Arm warmers haven't been designed yet but will match the jersey and have the team name on them.Quote:

With sleeveless, I think they'll look like evening gloves. You can just be the Audrey Hepburn of the mtbike trails.
You would look Marvahlous dahlink.....simply marvahlous!!Quote:

sadiekate turned in our order today, I put down 50% payment, the rest will get paid when the jerseys are delivered. WooHoo! We did not make the minimum for armwarmers, so I'll be figuring out refunds for all who sent money. Yellow - I'm going to tear up the separate check you sent.
Now the waiting begins....... ***tapping fingers***

Sorry for my tardiness, but yes, they can be altered if'n too big...you need to find a good seamsperson that understands how it's supposed to fit. Ask around at the local bike shops; I'll bet they have someone "on file" if your seamstress is inexperienced. The side panel is a good place to nip & tuck.Quote:

Thanks Yellow! That's what I was hoping to hear. I almost skipped ordering one because since I started riding my bike again (all of a month now), I'm down 9lbs. so who knows what size I'll wear next month. :pQuote:

We also have a resident seamstress here on the board - Irulan, that can either help you or do it for you ( I think, sry Irulan if I just overstepped here).
Snap - I just got the email notice regarding the refund, do you or anyone else know: does that just get deposited back into my account?
(such a paypal dinosaur!)
If you paid out of a bank account, it should go back into the bank account. If you paid with a credit card, it should be credited on your account.Quote:
