Me three!!! When I buy a man's jersey I need a large enough size to fit over my hips then the sleeves hit me at the elbows. The first thing I do is rip the elastic out and serge the bottom, then I surge all the way down the sides starting at the sleeves and ending at the waist which takes in a lot of the bulk and then I hem the bottom and the sleeves. It's a lot of work but when you are short wasted and curvy, what are you going to do? I try not to buy a jersey if they don't offer it in women's sizes but when you go to a ride like RAGBRAI or the Hilly Hundred, you want a jersey as a keepsake.
