How Should a Figure Skating Dress Fit?

A good figure skating dress should fit like an expensive swimsuit, not too small and certainly not so big there are folds or ripples while skating.. There are many types of skirts, from a flat skirt type to a ballet style.

Look to make sure that the skirt is not too long or short for the type of costume. Notice too, that the skirts on figure skating dresses are about 1-11/2 inches longer in the back than the front, which gives a pleasing line while the skater is doing her routine.

The skirt part of the skating dress should ride higher on the hips that it does in the front or the back of the dress.

This is especially true in dance figure skating dresses, where the back is at minimum 6 inches longer and the skirt falls from mid thigh in the back.
