need help with jerseys

Cheri...

I'm not exactly Big busted... (I'm a 12B in Aus sizing... Sorry NO idea what that equtes to US wise) but I've found that the Jerseys shipped here are way too short. They fit nicely around the bust for me but ride up to past my navel! (I feel like I'm wearing a crumpled crop top!)

I recently ordered a European women's Jersey. Nalani Tilady. It is an AWESOME cut. It's probably a little baggy around the bust for me but the length is much longer and the shape conforms OVER my hips instead of above it. the waist is elasticised but not to the same extent as my first jersey which I'd bought from Anaconda.

Sounds like you would be a really good fit in a Castelli jersey -- they are for a taller rider. Your body type sounds like their fit model. And what a surprise that Hincapie jerseys run long, too -- they are made by Castelli. Louis Garneau jerseys fit me really well, but I am only 5'2" and they run short, both in the torso and in the sleeves. My hubby says the same about the men's, and he is 6'4". If you are looking for higher end, Castelli should meet the bill. The fabrics are gorgeous & they have pockets.

Hey here's another suggestion:

I have this jersey and it is cut longer and a with a bit more room. It is definitely not too short - I'm almost 6' tall and haven't had a problem with it.

I believe you mentioned wanting a sleeveless one, getting the sleeves removed is a simple fix by any alterations place, and would probably cost, at most, $5-10.

Good luck

Thanks for the Ebay info!!!!
I found the ebay store mentioned wjc47 - and have bid on a jersey, so we'll see. BTW - how does the deal on shipping work - it says if you order more than 1 item the 2nd is 50% off. Will he know automatically? or do I need to send him a note?
i overthink things WAAAYYYYY to much.

I believe if you are purchasing things within a day or two of each other, he will automatically update the shipping. The key is to not pay for anything until you are completely done shopping. I am sure if you sent him an email, he'd advise you on how it works. He's really nice

edit... it says "wait for invoice if making multiple purchases", so I guess he'll email you an updated shipping price

i'm 34D and know how it feels.
i use my bf's jersey that is a bit to small for him. (because i haven't invested in my own yet) its a men's medium. its really long and has room in the top for me. also not tight in the arms either.
