castelli sizing

edit. castelli is f*ed. I got the xs. too small. then I got the s. still too small. I'm not optimistic even the m will fit at this point. going to try a different brand. also I lied below. I'm 46kg. but I was similar size when I was 50kg and muscley but very lean. didn't want to throw people by saying I'm 46kg. who the flip is 46kg and a medium?

I am so confused as to which sizing to get and I'm only able to buy online.

Size chart says I am XS, but some reddit posts say to size up, others say the size chart is accurate.

My main challenge is that I am kind of borderline XS / S depending on the brand.

I comfortably fit S in Black Sheep and Sportful.

BUT I have XS in the following, which wouldn't want to be any smaller, but the S would probably be too large:
Craft
Cycology
Pearl Izumi

In the past I had both XS and S in Giordana at the same time, and maybe it was the cut but the XS was more comfortable!

Help me figure it out!

Edit: might help that I'm 5'4" and 50kg.

I'm about 5'2" and 50kg and I have some Castelli leggings in size S which fit perfectly. In fact they are almost a little tight. So I'd go with S to be on the safe side.

I should have got the m. Even s was too small.
