Figure skating dresses should cover the hips, and should be free of any unnecessary racy. Some styles of dresses are designed to be comfortable to wear. However, you should also be aware of the ISU dress code. Some dress codes have stricter requirements than others. Some dresses are prohibited for certain events, such as the Olympics. If a garment falls off while skating, it will result in a deduction of points. It's not always easy to find a dress that fits the requirements for competition.
The dress code has changed over the
years. In the 1984 Winter Olympics, American figure skater Tiffany Chin looked
like an ice princess. She wore a sky-blue costume with colorful floral patterns
and embellishments. She later went on to become a coach for Australian figure
skater Kailani Crane. Other skaters have opted for bolder colors. The Italian
figure skater Mariana Pappano, for instance, wore a dress with bright pink
colors.
Figure skating dresses can also have
a symbolic meaning. They can be used to celebrate a special event or honor a
person. In the Sochi Winter Games, American skater Nancy Kerrigan wore a white
costume with gold embellishments. In 2007, she was awarded the Order of Canada.
During this time, she was one of the youngest female athletes to ever win an
Olympic medal. The medal was also awarded to Tara Lipinski, two months younger
than her.
