    Velo Bella Long Sleeve Jersey sizing

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Hi All
    I have this jersey in the TE shop basket,(sorry, I mean shopping cart ) and all I need to do is go to check out, but I can't bring myself to press the button

    So, I'm turning to you for help (please )

    I know the sizing says allow extra because of the pro fit. But I really don't want to get this delivered from the US only to find I've over-estimated.
    Do any of you have this jersey? Is the fitting really that tight?

    I am a UK size 12 whish is a USA size 10

    I've got the large in the the basket - should I change it to medium?

    I've been looking at this for two weeks now, at this rate I'll have to change it to sleeveless for next summer

    Email the customer service staff at TE. They are incredibly helpful and wear all this stuff themselves. Can you give them your bust measurement?

    I am a US size 6 often times, 5'4", 115 lbs, very little in terms of bust (34A), and the M fits me just fine. There would be some room there for a woman with more curves at the top but wider hips than mine (I think I'm something like 37" hips) would cause the elastic to hike its way up to the waist (which would be annoying).

    I just followed the measuring chart very precisely. Measured my bust waist and hips, checked out the chart. Says order M, I ordered M. It's a fairly tight pro racing fit indeed... So I'd probably suggest that you order the L size, but just make sure you measure yourself out and check out the sizing chart.

    It's a great jersey by the way! I have the short sleeves and I LOVE it.

    Thank you ladies
    Grog, you're answer is exactly what I was hoping for, thank you - someone to tell me how accurate the sizing chart is.

    Now then, shall I order long sleeved or short decisions, decisions

    Well, it is getting colder in this corner of the Earth, so those sleeves might come in handy... Up to you though, of course.

    You're not wrong there tlkiwi Autumn (fall) has arrived overnight!

    I think I need to just click that button and get it ordered. No more thinking - just do it.

    Right, that's it, I've gone to order the long sleeved jersey
