    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!

    No pictures, here, either (pictures steal the soul )

    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.

    Hey y'all, happy TE-dressed cyclist here!
    I got the flourishes jersey - I was a bit skeptical when I placed the order because the web page said 'club fit' and I usually buy them race fit so they are more tight, but I liked the design so much that I still wanted one!
    It came yesterday and oh does it look wonderful!!! I tried it this am on a ride - it feels great and it is a perfect match with my red/black assos shorts...
    Thanks Susan - and thanks to all the artists/designers that contributed to the TE jerseys!!!

    I was wondering the exact same thing!

    The last jersey is here!!

    The last of the 4 jerseys arrived late yesterday, and got put away today, and our photographer got them online quickly today. (I don't think Susan has even seen this yet :-) The pic of the plus size jersey is not quite right yet, he used the same pic he took of the regular size. The plus size is less "shaped", a little boxier. That photo will get corrected next week.
    See the jersey here: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodTE_604.html

    Have a great weekend everyone
