I wonder when the boots started being white?
But that's Sonia while in a (I think) Warner Brothers movie. They had access to costumes and underpinnings that the average woman didn't, even if she was an Olympic Skater.
But you'll see that Cecilia Colledge in the 1936 Olympics wore something very similar (see video below). It's quite possible that they wore garters and stockings for figures, but I find it hard to imagine women ever wearing them when skating in freestyle competitions where they had to do spirals and spins!
I happened to read a few days ago about Sonja wearing tights for her first movie. I think it was $35 a day for 3 pairs of hose a day. That's $400-600 in today's money. I think Cecilia may be bare legged.
