Fishnet-print Legwarmers - Want!

[gnat23]

You know you've got your priorities wrong when you're more worried about what costume to wear on the Cinderella ride than the fact that you're going to be riding a century.

Anyhoo. I had the brilliant idea of white or beige legwarmers with fishnet sublimated printing on it. But I can't seem to find anyone that prints custom legwarmers like the jerseys.

Any ideas? And would there be any more interest if I go for a larger order?

Any of the big companies that do kits should be able to do leg and arm warmers too. Some like Champion ( http://champ-sys.com/lycra-leg-warmers.html )will do fairly small runs - they have a min of 10 pieces at $23 each. If you research a bit I'm sure you'll come up with others too. With digital printing these days the set up is so much easier to do that companies are willing to do smaller runs.

btw - you'll save some money if you can do the graphic design yourself (most places provide templates compatible with the more common programs - like Adobe Illustrator), but they will also design them for you, for a fee of course.

I know Sock Guy does them, but I think 60 is the minimum order. I'd take a pair.

this is much easier than you think, and i've done it. Get your leg warmers on and put fish net stockings over them!
the brighter the color stockings, the better.
it looks great.

That calls for pictures. :cool:

Hm, that was a long time ago.

sorry, I don't know how to make it clickable, but there's the link if you make it big enough you can see the fishnet.

I'm new to the Cinderella. What is appropriate attire? Glitter?

Trust Mimi to come up with a good answer to this one. Mimi, you rock :p

Anything, really (I saw sweatpants, even!), but I loved seeing all the creativity that went into some of the outfits.

I have some strange ideas about assembling a Carmen Miranda sort of thing for this year. Sew some plastic fruit onto the helmet, add ruffles to the jersey, and then it just sorta called for fishnets somehow. :D

MIMI you rock! I'm stealing this idea. :D

Proper Cinderella attire - pretty much whatever you want.

I rode our tandem with a friend. Neither of us are girly girls so we went as pirates - with mustaches and everything.

Go for it! it was fun shopping for fishnet stockings!

[salsabike]

That looks like a ton of fun. Wish we had one here.

that guy tried to get one going, but didn't get the kind of support he needed.
He wanted a bunch of volunteers..

I see this thread is super ancient. However, in case anyone like myself tries to google somewhere to find this type of legwarmer and comes across this post, like I did, I found them! My friend really found them, and wears them. But here's the link to epic leg warmers!

ENJOY! Rock these for all rides, not just the girly ones. (Now where to find cycling heels to go with these?:D
