I got my Flourishes jersey today. I didn't try it on, but it looks big for an x small. Definitely bigger than my other Voler jerseys that have no elastic. I'm praying it fits because I already threw away the receipt, assuming it would fit...
Love the way the design looks.

Crankin' - we ordered the standard Voler club fit, with no changes requested, so theoretically is should be the same as your other jerseys.
Nonethless, if it doesn't fit, you can send it back. Email customer service (service@teamestrogen.com) and they can send you a copy of your order confirmation to enclose with your order.

Pictures! pictures! We want pictures as you get your jerseys!
I'd love to buy them all but shipping and added fees are extortionate.
I had to look up that last one to see if I spelt it rite

Fit note for anyone interestsed.
I received the 'Flourishes' jersey on Saturday. I ordered a medium because the medium club cut Voler fit me great for the Amici Veloci jersey (in sleeveless).
The body fits great but the arm openings are way too tight. If you have big 'guns' like me, the arm elastic could be a problem and you may want to size up.
It is a beautiful jersey though. I haven't decided what to do about it yet.My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

I have to admit that when the Flourishes jersey was picked my thought was less than enthusiastic. I thought it looked too frilly for me. Then, I saw the picture of the actual jersey and the slight modification of the color really made it look appealing. In person, it is even better--the light color makes the difference between an "OK" jersey and something more interesting. Good job.
Fit wise--maybe not perfect for me (a little short in the torso for this giant), but I'm comfortable enough in it (and it looks great) that I'm happy.
But those rear pockets! No tiny girlie jersey pockets. I think I can fit my entire bike into one
No fear of a lost wallet.

I am glad its not just me. I ordered both jereseys in both a S and M, with the intention of keeping one of each.
The flourishes M was way too big, very baggy on the hips. The S fit nicely in the body, but I also thought the cuff felt tight on my arm, and it was cut quite short in the front. I so wanted to keep it, but for that kind of money it had to fit better.
The filigree fit better, I did check and my team terry long sleeve jersey is a small voler race cut, and I would say the fit through the body of the small was identical. But, again the cuff of the armband felt tight. The M was definitely too big, very long, and baggy under the arms.
I was so sad, but I had to box them up and send them back. I realized all my other jerseys are made of a stretchy fabric like dristyle that conforms to your body, and so for me perhaps that works better. I am lean, but also pretty muscular.

OK, I tried on my x small Flourishes jersey. It fits! However, it is looser and a bit longer in the back than my Amici Veloci jersey and my DH's company jersey. At first, I thought maybe the company jersey was a race cut, but I never would have ordered something with elastic (and I was able to try on the samples when I bought it). I think it might actually be just a tiny difference, that a few washings will take care of.
I noticed the elastic in the sleeves, but it didn't bother me. It's not "heavy" elastic, just light, which I love for keeping arm warmers up. I love the red, too.
I was just concerned that it would be too long and baggy for this short body.

Does anyone know if the elastic comes out of the arms? I just never had a jersey with elastic in the arms like that, and it wasn't comfortable. I didn't even realize it was elastic when I tried it on, it just felt too constricting on my arm.
I hope I wasn't too hasty to make the return. I guess since my team terry race cut voler jersey is long sleeved its not an issue. I should add that they LOOK BEAUTIFUL, so I hope my fit problems don't scare anyone. I am just very picky about fit when I spend that much money on something.Last edited by Triskeliongirl; 06-23-2009 at 07:23 PM.
