There's a lack of women's bibs available and for a while I'd wear men's bibs before I'd wear women's cycling shorts. The few brands that do make bibs usually only make them in black and I'm a fan of matching kits when I ride. I do have two kits that are made for women that have bibs and I find myself wearing them all the time.
I think I want to try to modify a pair of shorts to make the bibs. I'm messing around with patterns right now. In my mind it should be simple on some shorts. I have a pair of Pearl Izumi shorts that are really high waisted and I think if I take the waistband out I can just sew on suspender like straps made from lycra, copying the pattern from other bibs.
Has anyone tried this before or know of anyone who has.
