I found a beautiful sim for ice skating (don't remember it off-hand, I'm not at the computer SL is on), but alas, have not been able to find clothing/skates yet.
Does anyone know of a store where I can find some cute warm and furry coats, hand muffs (remember those from childhood?), skates, hats with pom-poms, skirts and tights? I don't want to look like a professional ice skater tho, not looking for anything latex and shiny. I guess I could find these in some children's store, but I also do not want to appear like a child. Definately NOT the look I'm after.
Thanks!

Hi Elora Try looking on SL Exchange - Deira Llanfair, Lexi Morgan, Stellina Orbit, Dismay Wilde all have outfits like that you describe. No muffs though... Inc

Thank you, to both  Can't wait to go shopping! Winter is coming! (of course, it's "always" winter somewhere in SL).

Inc I do skating animations - I'm afraid I don't do clothes. There is a lovely Ice Rink in the Scotland SIM and I have a Roller Skating Rink at Llanimations in Alcis - you can ice skate on it if you prefer though.

Thanks for letting me know about the ice skating sim in Scotland Deira. I'm not a fan of roller skating, but love to ice skate, and I have not gotten around to visting the Scotland sim yet - it's a place I'm dying to visit in RL  so I really appreciate that tip!

I like Skoopf ice skates. Go to Inspire beach. They have an ice-rink there where you can buy the skates and then try them out. Then nip upstairs to the planetarium. It's brilliant! The whole place is brilliant

Shameless plug - my wife makes & sells Fantastic skating outfits. Search for "Skate and Date", and check the vendor wall. And they're dirt cheap too, L$150 or less (mostly less).

Mari Have you asked any of the ice-skate creators to downsize their existing skates? I'm sure someone woiuld be more than willing to do it for you. Happy ice-skating.

Mari I guess I can relate, only becase my Av is on the tiny side even tho I'm an adult. That's what my issue is. A lot of people I'm running into have actually asked me if I'm one (adult). I think it very obvious when you look at me, my body/face structure is most definately not a child. But, some of the clothing I've tried on does look somewhat oversized for me, that's why I thought that finding these things in one of the children's stores might be easier. I hope you can find something too Marianne. Perhaps that idea of having skates downsized will work for both of us

Elora, on the clothing front if you were interested maybe in a pullover I can't recommend strongly enough a lovely pullover shop in Meeting Support. It's near some Alpine Centre and is run by a lovely lady Marianna I think I got the name right! The collars of some are modifiable for shaping, sizing, moving

Scotland is lovely (both in RL and SLand so is Wales too!) - you can go skiing as well a skating. You will find that artistic roller skating uses very much the same elements and dances as ice figure skating - and speed skating and hockey are the same for both. I am working on some skating dance animations atm - hopefully for couples to dance if the technical probs can be fixed - so I'm looking forward to a super winter sports season. C U all on the ice

From: Chas Connolly Have you asked any of the ice-skate creators to downsize their existing skates? Haven't had to: I've jes downsized the Moopf skates (the skates themselves are mod: the scripts inside are not). Did it with all the special editions last year, too. But finding outfits beyond skates? A bit more difficult. From: Elora Lunasea I guess I can relate, only becase my Av is on the tiny side even tho I'm an adult. That's what my issue is. A lot of people I'm running into have actually asked me if I'm one (adult). I think it very obvious when you look at me, my body/face structure is most definately not a child. But, some of the clothing I've tried on does look somewhat oversized for me, that's why I thought that finding these things in one of the children's stores might be easier. Ya, I've heard dat from many adult avvies, too. But before dis becomes another thread on *dat* topic, I may indeed ask some of the kid clothing makers abut someting for skating. It would seem like it'd be up Kick The Can's or Bunny Creek's Alley. Mari
