That's a fascinating history of sizing, Susan. No wonder it's a mess.

But you'd think that Terry, Shebeest and other women-specific cycling clothing manufacturers would see the benefit of getting together on sizing. It would revolutionize the biz and they'd sell MORE, not less.

Also, more large sizes. I mentioned that to a friend (who is not small, herself) whose husband is a thin cyclist. When I complained about the sizing, even she bought into the "there aren't enough heavy women cyclists to justify making cycling clothes for them," because she saw only skinny women out there when her husband officiate races.

Sigh.
