Have to agree - you need to try the jacket on and make sure it fits properly. This isn't just a "fashion thing" - those protectors won't protect you unless they are where they belong when you need them! If your gear doesn't fit properly, the protector may be too high or to low to properly protect you from the impact.
If you are short on cash, then go to a shop, try on some different jackets and see what fits (noting the manufacturer and size), then go home and try to order exactly those items online. If you are lucky, it'll work. (Haven't tried this ... since there are lots of affordable shops around here).
