    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm finding a lot of great stuff!

    I have a long torso too. I think SheBeest is longer in most cuts. Cannodale is another one. Canari, and Sugoi. Haven't tried a couple of the brands mentioned here, but I will now. Also, if you don't mind the jersey not having a gripper hem, that helps as well IMO. Seems like the gripper stitching naturally draws the jersey up and automatically makes it shorter. I love Pearl Izumi for bottoms. I wish their jerseys worked too, I'd be all set. Even sizing up in hopes of gaining length, it does not work. This season I found one Pearl jersey that fit. Believe it's called The Superstar. No hem, very nice on. The fabric is not as technical as most of their stuff (it's rated this way on the tag too). I really wanted to get it but was afraid it would fall apart. The pockets were flimsy and I could envision them losing the shape and stretching out with in and out use. Otherwise, I would have gotten it for the fit.

    I don't have a long torso but find that Voler jerseys run long, and World Jerseys (maker of Retro Cycling Apparel) feel longer than, say, my Sugoi and Louis Garneau jerseys.

    i'm 5'9" and 123 lbs with a fairly long torso and love castelli in size small. the length is great and the overall cut is nice and narrow. it's worth the price. giordanna is nice as well.

    i think most american manufacturers (shebeest in particular) create short, boxy jerseys that are not at all flattering for long, slender women. go italian!
