I have 3 pairs of bibs now - only one of them is women's specific. I've found it really hard to find them at a reasonable price and have ended up buying store colours from two different stores - they are size XS and they are either "unisex" or mens, I'm not sure which. I absolutely love to ride in them!!! It's great not having a waist band digging in. I have a pair of Gore bib tights that I recently got and haven't had a chance to ride in yet - maybe tomorrow, it is pretty cool out these days.
For me, the bibs are pretty easy to fit as I have a very short torso. I would be afraid that the shoulder straps would cause too much pressure on my tight trap muscles if I had a taller torso.
I tried on a pair of Louis Garneau womens bibs and they were a car wreck! The should straps could be taken right off and re-attached with velcro. When I tried them on I checked to see what would happen if I undid them to pull them down and yikes - I couldn't even put them back on without stripping down completely. I guess not every design works.
Best of luck in your search!
Hugs and butterflies,
