I'say it depends on what program the skater is doing. Ami obviously is going the "cute fairy" way and the dress is a logical choice. A black leather outfit wouldn't really do the trick, would it?It's a very pretty costume, if someone were to wear it at a gala or party I'd say beautiful. But in figure skating I want that rule that forbids light blue-white costumes. They are everywhere and I find them incredibly pale and boring.
