Wow. I'm 5'5" (okay, 5'4.5") and 140#, and can't comfortably squeeze my giant self into the L Specialized/Pearl Izumi jerseys at the LBS. Very frustrating for me, since I normally fit pretty comfortably into a M when I'm shopping casual shirts.
I haven't had an opportunity recently to try on anything from Shebeest, but I have an old L 'easy v' that fits comfortably (read 'Relaxed'). Shebeest's Spring '07 catalog actually states (and explains) the 'style' of fit(eg: 'Relaxed', 'Classic', or 'Contour') for each of their jersey's. What a great idea! They should go a step further, and allow you to browse Jerseys/Shorts by fit.

I don't crash so much anymore (less blood on the trail), so just call me Stephanie
I'll tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood. ~ Susan B. Anthony

Ima,
I am your same basic size too, a pear shape. I too tried on some expensive PI shorts in M in a LBS and found them to be way too tight everywhere. Yet in SheBeest and Terry and LouisGarneau brands, their medium shorts and tights all fit me wonderfully. It's not US that's weird!Lisa
