    On second thought you might find it short on you - I am 5' tall and it hits me in the right places.
    Given your height, I might be a little wary of buying Giordana without trying on first. I recently ordered this Giordana jersey (not from this retailer, but it's a good picture):

    As mentioned above I'm 5'6", about a 33" chest (measured around the fullest part, not measured under the bust). This is definitely on the short side for me. I ordered a size small (my usual size), and it fits "perfectly" in the sense that it doesn't bind or pull but there's not a bit of extra fabric anywhere. I wouldn't say it actually runs small such that you would have to order up, but I would say it's a very small and slim cut. I'm quite flat chested and don't think someone much bigger than me (in the bust or elsewhere) would fit in this jersey, in this size anyway.

    But, YMMV. We're all built differently, I have somewhat broad shoulders so that may be part of it.

    It's very nicely made and, aside from being proportioned for a small person, cut well too.
