Amici Veloci jersey - whoopee!!

[bikerz]

Thanks Snap! I feel your pain! Now you've got me freaking out! I ordered a jersey to fit me now ('cause after much back and forth I decided that I don't want to wait to wear it!) but now you remind me I won't have one to wear when I'm ready for the lifecycle (hopefully 30 or 40 pounds from now) Can I afford another $79??? Are we at $62 yet? Only a few hours before I have to place a final PayPal order, right? And I wavered on the arm warmers too, because I couldn't decide what to do about the size question... I'm out of town, but I'll try to check the posting before I go to bed tonight and make a final decision...

The other model's figure - think Jo about 10 pounds back.

Alas, those last 10 pounds were pretty much all from my boobs

( oh, you know I'm just kidding ... I never had 10 lbs worth of boobs to begin with )

OK, after tearing through all my jerseys, I discovered I have a Voler jersey! Yay! It's too small right now. Yay! Who cares, it's a mens club cut and I like it, so I'm ordering that. Then I'll hang it up on the closet door as incentive to stick to the dang diet!!!

Still don't know wtf about the arm warmers tho...

I hemmed and hawed about size a good bit too. I was on the cusp between the Large and X-Large. Would have been definitely an X-large last year 20 pounds ago. Will never lose the broad shoulders though. But I bit the bullet and went for just the Large. Even back before babies and in excellent BMI range I was never smaller than a 12. Not tall - just a broad BROAD!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a big debate.

Ditto on the debate, I'm pretty sure the 3X I ordered will be a bit big but I didn't want anything clingy (no sense enhancing the "michelin man" look ). I'm wondering though...can a jersey be taken-in?? I can't sew on a button but I know a good seamstress.

Sorry for my tardiness, but yes, they can be altered if'n too big...you need to find a good seamsperson that understands how it's supposed to fit. Ask around at the local bike shops; I'll bet they have someone "on file" if your seamstress is inexperienced. The side panel is a good place to nip & tuck.

Now if it's too small...ferget it. I prefer to get them a little big knowing I have the option of having Rose, my seamsperson of choice, fix it!

Thanks Yellow! That's what I was hoping to hear. I almost skipped ordering one because since I started riding my bike again (all of a month now), I'm down 9lbs. so who knows what size I'll wear next month.


Gee, excercise helps you lose weight...who'd a thunk it??
