Medium women's club cut should work fine for you. What's your pants size?

I'm about 5'7", 145 pounds, 34A on top, and I wear a size 10. The medium women's club cut short-sleeve jersey fits me about perfectly. There is a bit of room left over for more boobage (as with all of my clothing

) but it fits fine on my hips.

I also have a medium women's race cut sleeveless, since race cut was all that was available for sleeveless. It has elastic on the bottom and it's cut less generously over the hips. At first I didn't like it because it was a bit snug on my hips, but as I wear it, it rides up a bit and it doesn't bother me, so it's fine. I really don't want to alter it or remove the elastic. In retrospect, I think were I to do it again I would order a large in the race cut (which is precisely what I did for the sleeveless LRRH jersey, I'll find out eventually if that was a good approach).

But bear in mind I do not like snug clothing.

As for arm warmers, I don't have large arms and I went for the unisex small, but I find them uncomforatble. You might want to try mediums.

If they end up being too big for you, you might be able to swap them with someone who has a small pair, since as AG pointed out they do run a bit on the small side.

Thanks jobob - my pants size is an 8. I'm going with the M club short sleeve. Any thoughts on the arm warmers?

edit: you're quick! You beat me to it!

**DrBee** · 05-25-2006, 02:24 PM

going with M all around. I really want the arm warmers - come ladies - buy up those longsleeve jerseys and arm warmers! Let's get to 25.

Snap - do we have a count yet?

**spazzdog** · 05-25-2006, 02:32 PM

I am already the proud owner of a jersey (thank you again SK and Snap) but I will probably wear a different one on Sat's Diablo/ "watch-spazz-blo" ride...

I'm thinking my crash test dummy might be appropo... oh god - I feel a fashion crisis coming on!

spazz

That's the coolest jersey I've EVER seen! Am interested in a short-sleeve jersey and arm warmers. I generally take XL in everything (unfortunately). Am 5'4", 175 (but shapely).

Don't suppose anyone here is anywhere near my shape, but if you are, you can confirm what I think I already know, ie, "XL" . . . And what size for arm warmers? My upper arm measures 13".

I'll be on a week-long bike tour around August 7 timeframe, but delivery timeframe should be something that can be worked out with snap, I hope.

Thanks for this super "thread"

One "hole" in my wardrobe is a thermo vest. Matching arm warmers would go well with that, if they fit. I do have black ones, Sugoi, XL. Will XL in these fit the same? I'll check the measurements list for the vest fit. But I'll wait til Monday or Tuesday to place to order. Don't want to count my insurance chickens before the settlement offer is on the table.

does anyone have a picture or a link so I can check out this thermavest thingy. I've already ordered one jersey but I just LOVE them and might need MORE!!!

I'm five-four, 124# and barely fill out a 36 B. Think a small jersey would do the trick? I am trying to decide between long or short sleeved.

Be naughtly like me and get both.

**SadieKate** · 05-26-2006, 07:03 AM

Yellow, your opinion for Tater? Not many people ordered smalls.

Tater, do you like race cut jerseys? In other words, traditional jerseys with eleastic at the bottom? You might be able to go either way depending on your hips. I hate elastic because it rides up and settles around my waist leaving a very unattractive gap of white goo showing.

**GLC1968** · 05-26-2006, 08:17 AM

Ok, I'm still having issues with the sizing. According to the chart, I'd be a small in every category except hips. Is that reason enough to order up for a medium? I have one jersey that is a little big, and the flapping in the breeze annoys me, so I'm torn.

I'm 5'4", 34A/B with a 27" waist...all my weight is in my butt and legs...so I'm pretty small on top.

Small or medium?

Lesee...You have 2 inches on me and I am a 36A. I have the women's club cut in a small and wish that I had a med. It fits, but more snugly than I like. I have muscular arms/back/shoulders, so that may be part of why it fits the way it does. I am generally pretty true to a small in just about everything.

In Voler's OTHER fabric, I'm comfy in a small race cut. But as SK noted, this fabric fits a little tighter, hence the "smaller" feel.
