I received my Betty top and my skort last night.

Review:
The Betty is REALLY cute. Better than I thought it would be, actually! I ordered the small (normally I'm a medium in Terry tops) because that was the largest size they had in the turquiose and that's the only color I wanted. I was prepared to send it back if it was too, too small. Suprizingly, it's wearable. It's tighter than I'd like, but it's not indecent. Once I get back to my 'fighting weight', it'll be perfect. The color is bright and beautiful and I love how it has two zippered pockets instead of just one (like on my older design Betty).

The skort is nice, too. I ordred the M because my cargo skort is a M. This skort seems to have the same issue as my cargo skort - the shorts appear to be larger than the skirt. Or, maybe it's just because I have big legs, big butt, but narrow hips and waist. So the shorts feel kind of big on me, but the skirt part could definitely NOT be any smaller and still lay right. I have not worn it on the bike yet, but again, the shorts appear identical to the cargo skort and I know that one works well for me for shorter rides (less than 50 miles). I was afraid that this skort would be too short to be worn comfortably in a restaurant or whatever, but it's really not. It comes a bit more than half-way down my thighs, so totally decent in length.

I give both pieces a 'thumbs up'.


Aside - how is it that I feel more comfortable in short, tight biking shorts than I do in a short skort with the same biking shorts underneath? Seems stupid - but shorts are obviously worn for the purpose of biking so I care less how they look to non-cyclists. These skorts look more like regular clothing and as such seem to need to be more 'presentable'. Or am I just weird?
