    TE sells the jerseys, they might be worth investigating.
    I have a few models of their running skirts as well as two "compression bikegirls" (not sure if they still make this style).

    They are cute. But the sizing is REALLY uneven across the line, and the quality is uneven too. Some things are pretty well made, others are, well, not exactly poorly made, but not very well executed (for instance, it was recommended on the Skirtsports website to size up on the bikegirl. I did. The skirt would indeed have been too tight and pulled across my rear if I had ordered my usual size. But the bike shorts underneath are a little too big on me (I know that's hard to imagine but it's true). They also didn't do a great job matching up skirt length and short length, so the shorts (on this particular model) come down a bit below the skirt... Some of the construction/finishing is kind of uneven too.

    That said, I love my "rollergirl" running skirt!

    I think basically the deal is it's a pretty young company and Nicole Deboom has some great ideas for designs, but they haven't quite gotten the production thing worked out yet.

    I have to say that I haven't tried any of their tops and they may be better.
    (I have the old model: http://www.skirtsports.com/products/...rl-classic.cfm. I'm not crazy about the looks of the updated one).

    Me too!

    I too have broad shoulders and long torso. I am cheap on jerseys and buy Performance bike's men's small, sleeveless. They are cheap and fit pretty well. Good selection of colors and they fit pretty well. Good luck.

    I also am built with long torso short legged and pear shaped. I do have some mens jerseys which I think cover length good but some of them are snug at the hips (the ones with full length zip) on me but as long as I dont get that ride up of the jersey and have odd tan lines on my back, I am good. I try to purchase higher rised shorts too. The womens jerseys that I do have I have ordered a size larger than normal and seems for the most part to solve the issue. I have problems with the tank tops, they seem to ride up or are shorter in general. The tri tanks are like me wearing a slightly oversized sports bra and are impossible for me to wear..I don't want to cause too many frightening accidents Good luck, it's kinda like a trial method I think when it comes to purchasing biking clothes..but give TE a try, the staff I think goes above and beyond to help satisfy the customer.
