Jerseys for tall women with child bearing hips and small waist?

I have the same hip and waist measurements! But, I'm 3 inches shorter... I have the same problem too with my Pearl Izumi jersey, but my Performance Bike brand jersey doesn't have any elastic around the bottom. It fits perfectly!

I actually bought three Performance Bike jerseys that seemed to work. However ... crazy me couldn't stand that not even one of them was pink and decided to take them all back! They had no pink jerseys. When I saw the big selection on TE, I decided to give two of those a try. I still don't know if the Castinelli I got will work in a bigger size. It doesn't have much elastic. Plus I'm worried how the over all fit will be, so I'm hesitant to have another one shipped that I just have to return.

Has anyone tried She-beest? I'm wondering how they fit.

Terry has lots of jerseys with no elastic. I hate elastic and find that more and more woman's jerseys do not have it because most women have smaller waists and bigger hips!

I'm 5'7" (tall torso) with 27" waist, and 37-38" hips. I also have broad shoulders. Some men's race cut jerseys work the best for me.

I'm 5'6, 26 waist/37 hip, and I just bought two Castelli jerseys that fit really well and don't do the riding up thing. I bought the Partenza jersey, which TE carries, in black and in fuschia (my bike has pink "stuff" too!) -- the hem is trimmed in lycra more than in elastic per se. They're also long enough -- my other jersey pet peeve is jerseys that sometimes flash your belly button. Since my torso is on the long side for my height, it's a problem I run into more than I'd like. I love the Castelli fabrics too.

I have a few Shebeest jerseys. No elastic on the ones I have, so they don't ride up, and they are cut nicely/fit well overall, but I find them a tad on the short side (not as bad as my PI jersey though).
