@PattyHankins Lovely! The skates remind me of the strap-on rollerskates I had when I was a kid.
I've definitely seen people doing casual ice skating in long skirts and I wouldn't mind trying it myself. You'd just have to avoid sit-positions and catch-foot tricks and such, but as long as you keep your blades under your hems and not the other way around you'd be fine... (Probably helps when you're used to wearing long skirts anyway and have the instinct for how they move and how to kick them out of your way as needed.)
