    Wow, you look great in it Susan!!! Thanks for sharing the photo and body measurements. I am still so impressed by your weight loss, you have set a terrific example for everyone on this board.

    But, the info. provided raises a question. According to the garment size chart, its says a M fits a bust of 34, yet your bust is 36 even though your waist corresponds to the indicated waist size. I have seen this on other size charts, where according to the charts I am a S in hips, M in waist and L in bust. Unless I am built strangely, it always seems to me like the bust measurement given is out of proportion to the waist and hip measurements that are usually given (in this case only waist is given, but look at say a campy for women size chart). When we see this, does it mean the bust measurement is not taken at the fullest part, but just under the arms, or under the breasts as in a bra band size, or what does it mean???

    Our photographer is out of the office for a few days, so for now, the photo of me taken inthe sample jersey will have to suffice for the product photo. We'll have him do detailed images and back images when he returns next week.

    FYI, I'm wearing a medium in the photo. My current measurements are about 36-27.5-37 and I really liked how the medium fit. NO elastic in the waist OR arms.

    isn't the 36 the rib cage measurement? I was very pleased to see who was modeling the "she loves hills" jersey too.

    If you click on the "how to measure" link near the size chart, it will tell you to measure around the largest part of your bust....for that jersey. I don't know about other brands.

    But that is my point, Susan told us her bust is 36, yet looks lovely in the M. The size chart says the bust for M should be 34........., hence my confusion.

    Interesting that you should ask that, as I was just questioning that very thing yesterday when we were putting the jersey up. I double/triple checked the size chart info from the vendor, and that's what their chart says. I think it's wrong, and will probably just go ahead and modify the chart. We always hesitate to do that, because it's never a good thing when there's a discrepancy between what we post and what the vendor publishes, but in this case I think we may have to do it.

    What I suspect has happened is that they probably mean 34b/c rather than 34 inches. I need to do a little more research on this one, so it may not change right away...

    I'm out of town right now (in Sunriver for an Olympic Tri on Sunday) so nothing will happen until next week at the earliest.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    I wore my Flourishes jersey today on a shorter (20 mile) ride. I started with arm warmers and that was a perfect combination, since the sleeves are long enough and have enough elastic to actually work with the arm warmers. Excellent pockets. I could have put the kitchen sink in there...
    Even though I also wore my new Shebeest S Pro shorts, with the lower rise front, the fact that the shirt is shorter in the front didn't matter. At no time did I feel like any skin was showing, no matter what position I was in. I do feel like there is a teeny bit of extra looser material sort of in the front torso area, compared to my other 2 Voler club cuts. But, I think a washing will take care of that.
    The red matches my bike and my red Sidis. which I finally got after coveting Denise G.'s! Now I just need a red helmet.

    Got my jerseys today. Both the filigree and Hills look great! Filigree fits really well. Hills I'm going to unfortunately have to exchange (boo!); it's tight across the chest and tight in the arms.

    I'm a 36C and got the small, going to go up to the medium. Should have probably known better after Susan's post, but I'm normally a small and like tight jerseys so I thought I'd risk it.

    So FYI to anyone that's borderline. The Hills jersey fits smaller than the filigree (at least for me).

    Hoping the medium gets here before the weekend so I can wear it on the epic climb group ride. I think I'll wear the Filigree one tomorrow when I'll log my 500th mile for the month!
