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.

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!
come on, let's see some photos

I feel like a kid a Christmas. I haven't bought new jerseys in years--just haven't found any I liked. Now I get three this year! Woohoo!
She Loves Hills is better in real life than expected. Very nice! It is clearly a very different fit. I have an XL in both that and Flourishes. Both fit, just differently. Hills is more a tight jersey fit; Flourishes is relaxed. The relaxed fit is necessary on Flourishes because it has a white zipper--if you buy it to fit tighter, the zipper will show.
I'm loving both my bright new stylish jerseys....can't wait for Mimi's to round out my set (and then, I think, the pocket book will need to take another two year jersey buy hiatus).
As a statistics geek, it would be very interesting to see how the jerseys sell--forum readers vs. people who just shop TE. They're great jerseys, but, to readers they also have a story.
