I disagree with a lot of things in the first blog. Why does she say that Chloe Noel's pants are wrong? I think they look very pretty both on kids and adults. And how about over-the-boot tights? Gosh, at the last test session, I was the only one who wasn't wearing those, kids and adults included. I used to think my legs were long enough without them, but then I saw my coach wear them, too, as she partnered her student. That's when I decided to get a pair, and I just did, though I haven't tested or competed in them yet. But I'm looking forward to it, and there comes that blog! Come on!
And speaking about skating dresses, it's not that easy for an adult skater to find a good dress. The choice is quite limited. For example, I'm tall and slender, but I wear XL skating dresses, which makes me self-conscious because outside the rink, I'm size small or medium. But because of my height, I have to buy XL skating dresses: anything else is way too short. Why do they go by those weird sizes? There are adult skaters who aren't particularly skinny, so what do they have to wear, XXL? I haven't seen those bigger sizes anywhere. And then my dress fits me just right, and it goes all the way up to the neck, but in the back it's fastened with a clasp. So before I tested in it, I wore it at a practice session, and, thank God, I had a video taken. That's when I saw that my bra could be seen in the back through the opening beneath the clasp. Gosh! So I don't wear a bra with that dress anymore, but fortunately, I can get away with it. What if someone can't? My point is that instead of criticizing everybody, the author of that blog should have come up with some constructive suggestions.
