What is a Skater Dress?

Has anyone seen the “skater dress” styles online?

It took me a minute, but I realized, skater dresses are just a modern version of A-line dresses and I love them! As we all know the “A-line” dress/skirt silhouette is narrower at the top, flaring gently wider toward the bottom kind of like a letter “A”. Skater dresses get their name because they resemble the dresses the figure skaters wear; that same “A” silhouette but shorter.

Sometimes, I feel like traditional A-line dresses make me look matronly, so skater dresses will be a fun alternative for me! Thanks to everyone who helped me choose my first skater dress from SimplyBe in December.

Between SimplyBe and ASOS curve, there are lots of cool skater dresses to try, including a leather one that I’ve featured below.

  1. Love your look! … When I was a teenager (circa 1980) my friends mom – a pretty woman, she was – did roller-skating w/ a male partner in competition … when u walked into there home, there was an 8 by 10 framed shot of her mom holding her latest trophy in – ahhh, yes, a skater dress! That’s what I remember them from!

  3. You look fabulous, CeCe! I am a fan of the skater dress. (I even saved this one as a favorite.) I’ve not worn one yet though. I worry that they may be too short for me. I may have to throw caution to the wind, order some tights, and keep it movin’.

  5. I love that dress on you!! I like the skater dress trend and own two myself. I love the shorter, flirty cut (A-lines usually make me feel frumpy)

    I love the way that skater dresses hang and move about as you walk. You look fabulous in the white dress, black girls look great in white.

  9. I find that Asos has some of the cutest (and not so expensive) skater dresses for every size! I also like Dorothy Perkins, but I think my loyalty sticks to Asos, hahaha. 🙂

  13. I would like to express some appreciation to this writer just for bailing me out of such a predicament. After researching through the internet and meeting notions which were not beneficial, I thought my entire life was done. Being alive without the presence of strategies to the issues you’ve resolved by way of this site is a serious case, and the ones which may have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I had not come across your blog. Your own personal expertise and kindness in dealing with everything was important. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a solution like this. I can now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your specialized and results-oriented guide. I won’t think twice to endorse the sites to any person who desires counselling about this area.

  19. I love all things figure skating, and I’ve learned a thing or two about these dainty dresses that make figure skating competitions so much fun for the participant and their audience. I didn’t think of these dresses as having been inspired by the silhouette of the A-line skirt. Thank for this.
