The only "cute" thing I wear is ..a lycra skort..which isn't the cheapest as you may know. Everything else is typical cycling wear.
As an aside, love to see some of the non-cycling fashion wear that you may design for your assignments... I used to sew a great deal before cycling. Have a mother who used sometimes to draft classic pants, tops for us ...without using a pattern. I also have a cousin who took a course on pattern drafting.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the Ivona Urban cycling wear, as featured by Momentum in say...3 years?

TE's selection of her wares can be found here:

and her website is here:

it looks like her catalog is deactivated right now, but she has a number of innovative and fun designs.
With Ivona's user name, I think she would be a big hit designing for the roller derby women. :DQuote:

for people who wear dress pants while biking, how do those pants hold up?
For light rain, i was thinking of waxing an old pair of jeans by rubbing a candle or a white crayon all over them. Although DWR wash stuff/ spray would probably be more effective.
You know I've mentioned Roller Derby a time or two in class and they look at me like they've never heard of it. Who couldn't remember cheering for the Bay Area Bombers (was that it?) every Saturday morning?!?!?!Quote:

You never know :pQuote:
