Bib Knickers - How tight?

Just picked up my first pair of bib knickers in the Wiggle sale. A set of Castellis
Got home and just tried them. How tight should they feel? I can only compare against the Free Race Aeros I have which are a lot tighter, but in the same size. It feels an OK fit now, but I am worried that if I lose weight then they would go from being OK, to being too large. What's the way people tend to feel whether their bib knickers are an OK size. Thanks

Depends on cut and fabric - e.g Sorpassos are very supple. Snug but not tight as this can restrict bloodflow to key muscles like quads. The other way, no bagginess, creases etc.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Thanks Monty, yes it's the Sorpassos (Wiggle have 30% off on them at the mo). There are no creases ATM, so I will stick with them. I'm a bit of a short arse, so they are coming mid way down my calves.
BTW thanks for your advice on the Gabba last month. It is quite simply awesome...0
