You look like any other skater of your age and the dress standard in the pic looks decent enough to me. I say something else is going on too and that is probably old green eye. If your good, they want you out and will do anything to oust you. So dig in and hang on and keep going. Goodluck!

Indeed, here in the UK all the kids dress like that! There may be something behind all this that you're not aware of....

Aw, hon! You look fine! I'm sorry that you're being targeted here, it seems a little out-of-place to me.

My club lets me wear leggings over tights and a t-shirt and I'm 50lbs overweight! If I could drop the weight, I'd be out there in a leotard and tights with leggings over the top -- that's how I used to dress for dance classes and I feel perfectly comfortable that way.

I hope everything works out and that the petitioners realize how dumb they're being.

You look fine, not out of line at all. There's definitely something else going on here that isn't related to clothing, and I'm sorry you're stuck in the middle of it. Some people are just plain silly.

I skate at a college rink, because it's the only one in the area, and there are constantly college students and little tots skating around. We're generally guests there. Most of us in the club wear skating dresses with t-shirts and/or sweatshirts overtop. Some of the younger girls wear shorts and tanks. The three guys wear flyaway pants and t-shirts.

Believe me, I'd be more worried about college guys coming around and staring...ew. It's mostly college guys/girls who work at the counter, and they've never said anything about it, because their own club members wear the same things we do.

that is exactly what i wear... and sometimes my shirts are more low cut and no one has ever said a word to me. i don't wear shorts i wear pants... i'm pretty sure that there must be something more to it than just your dress code... perhaps you did something in the past that made your skating club not to happy... or maybe just the parents?

I agree too, you're wearing exactly what I wear, only I also add a thin zip-up sweater overtop when I first step on the ice. And I only have one tank top, so I wear a t-shirt more often.

I'm a more conservative person, so I like to cover up more. I personally LIKE wearing these clothes more than my skating skirt/dress because they "feel" less revealing. I also find it makes me look and feel more focused on what I'm supposed to be doing (practicing) and not "playing dress up" while supposedly practicing skating. Do you know what I mean? And I don't feel as "silly" when hockey players are around. Plenty of the kids and teens in my club dress the same way. Others wear their dresses. Some wear pants.

I'm an adult BTW, though probably considered somewhat on the petite side.

You look like a skater. I (an adult) also wear leggings and a camisole leotard, or a long sleeve one in the winter. I also wear sports crop tops in the summer, or bathing suits. I like dresses, but like you said - they're a pain when you want to put in /remove padding!
And when you think about it, many of the dresses are nothing more than a leotard and tiny piece of fabric for the skirt!
