I also think you get some extra clearance from cars when wearing a skirt or something similar.

skirts
Skirts are more comfy than pants most of the time.
Shoot, my guy even wears a kilt (most often one of these) when he's tooling around on his city bike...

I have the same dress as Gnat, and I think I might have caused a few heart attacks when I wore it for a sprint session last Friday - the shorts that came with it are really short and as with all other shorts that are supposed to go only a few inches down my thigh it ended up in a nice little roll around my crotch. This looked rather interesting when sprinting I'm sure... But it's really comfy!
Warning though: do not leave cellphones in the pocket when sprinting, they fall out.Think orange. Earn success.

OK, you just answered my question. Now, if we could just invent a cycling dress with longer shorts...

Wear your own shorts. That outfit would be better if the shorts were the same length as the top.

Yeah, nothing preventing you from wearing your own standard length shorts under the dress, they're not attached in any way.
On the other hand, I'm pleased that I now have these supershort padded shorts that I can wear under other dresses, too.

I have another pair of Castelli shorts that aren't bibs (I normally wear bibs), and I'm going to use those in the future. Originally Posted by Crankin

Thinking of buying that Terry cycling tunic. It would be a dress on me and I could wear my Shebeest S Pros underneath; they are shorter than my other shorts.
Looking at that Terry sale catalog is like bike porn for me.....
