    Bear in mind that SPF fabrics lose their SPF as the fabric is stretched, so manufacturers are likely to run their SPF jerseys on the large size so the fabric *isn't* stretched.

    I have a long-sleeved Canari jersey and it is big on me, too. Hmmm...

    I haven't had any luck with Canari. Every article I bought (3 total) came apart at a seam within a wash or two (on gentle cycle, no dryer, dreft). I swore them off and stick with pearl, cannondale, world jersey, price point, etc. Good luck.

    Thanks, all. I think I am going to continue looking and pass on the Canari. I do like to look like a girl when I ride (I, too, am tall yet small + boobs), so why settle. Thanks for mentioning the "stretch" factor, though - that makes sense.
    Calling TE is a good starting point, I think.
    Take care out there.
