Terry Bella Shorts

[Batbike]

My lbs is now a Terry "Boutique" in that they carry some Terry cycling clothes. I saw the Bellas there 2 weeks ago. I had been contemplating ordering them from Terry for a bday present for myself. I didn't think I could fit in the sizes the lbs carried, but the sale lady said to "go ahead and try them on" and if they fit, great, if not, you know what to order. They fit me and I love them. They are so soft. I have only ridden a 40 mile ride in them and they felt great and so when I do my metric this weekend, I hope they will be as comfortable!!!!

SO, did they run smaller or larger than you thought?!!

I suppose they fit right on size. I am hesitant to say one way or the other. I am short (4'10") and larger than I like or should be, so I always go for the xlarge, or xxlarge, knowing that anything I get will be too long and bunch up in places they were meant to be. Sizing is all over the place for people like me. I fit in the xlarge and was surprised. Now, is it because I have lost weight (no) or because I have lost inches (not that I have noticed). I have ordered based on hip size and have been disappointed because the garments are tight or my hip to waist measurement is short and thus I have all this extra stuff floating around my waist. I just looked at the Terry website and their sizing for these shorts and I got the right size for an XL.
