We just had this thread recently so do a search. Check out Terry cycling clothes (terrybicycles.com), they make a relaxed fit jersey that fits larger chested woman fairly well. Unfortunately I think Terry is in its "winter" clothing cycle so you may have to wait until the spring line comes out.

You might even try getting larger sizes (or even men's jerseys) and have the sides taken in. Tailoring shouldn't be more than $10-20 and mens jerseys come in a much larger selection of styles and materials. I am 108 lbs. and bought a men's Castelli jersey in small. I had my mother and her magical sewing machine take it in and you'd never guess it where it came from.

Plus... have you noticed that men's clothing goes on sale much more often than women's? Blargggh.

P.S. I have a hard-to-fit body too. No boobs, actually. Tailoring is the panacea!

For ample boobage, I always recommend Shebeest's Bellissima jerseys, like the Shebeest Ocean Wind Bellissima Jersey. The cut is fantastically curvy, with plenty of room at the chest, narrowing slightly at the waist, and widening again at the hips. It will make you look voluptuous, not fat. I'm a 36D, and this is the jersey I reach for when I want to look great and feel comfortable.

I avoid men's jerseys. Usually the shoulders are too wide, the chest snug, the waist too big, and the hips too small. They seem to work best for slender women who have an average to small chest and narrow hips.

Still, I encourage all women to vote with their dollars and buy women's clothes. There are women's lines to fit just about any body type. Cycling apparel is a business like any other, and clothing companies will not spend money on researching women's fit and developing high-quality, well-designed women's lines unless it's profitable for them.

Happy shopping,
