I'm asking because for my thighs putting lace right at rubbing point would be totally nonfunctional. Even lace that's supposed to be soft would be murder, by its very structure. Note that the original bike bloomers were almost knee-length for that very reason, although granted skirts were much longer then :-)..M-Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-38970212612827922502012-06-14T21:38:31.839-04:002012-06-14T21:38:31.839-04:00OMG how adorable!

And the disembodied photos look very professional and catalogue-ish.<br /><br />That extra 3 inches on the (Adventure Short) front pattern piece is fascinating. I'm trying to work out the reason for it. Ease of movement, perhaps?<br /><br />P.S. How about some cotton Lycra undershorts for summer riding? Years ago I made a pair of cycling shorts from it and they were much cooler than poly Lycra.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.com
