Great idea, Kirsten! My biggest problem is with jersey fit. Now, obviously I know that as a plus size gal, I'm going to have some trouble. But I'm kind of "borderline" right now between regular sizes and plus sizes, especially in shorts. And I KNOW I'm larger-busted. But DANG...how can most cycling-wear companies call a jersey with a measly 40" bust an XXL??? Come on!

I know women come in all shapes and sizes (I'm a plus-size clothing designer...for heaven's sake, I DO know this!)...but just speaking proportionately, how can an XXL have a 44" hip, but only a 40" bust??? Not ALL women are shaped like pears!

I had spoken and written to Terry several times, as I LOVE their jerseys. I had them actually MEASURE an XXL for me...to see if I could squeeze into it. Nope...the XXL measured only 41". Unreal. I know they have plus size jerseys, but I want the snazzy prints that only come in regular sizes. Pooey.

Okay, rant over. Bottom line...I'm designing and making my own jerseys!
