@cepivon I think it is a matter of taste then, because I wouldn't describe Tessa's outfit as manly. Their previous costumes were more gaudy and colorful, fitting better with the hippie era of the music, but they were concerned with it distracting from their skating. These are visually more plain, but in my opinion, they are more effective in showing off their skating skills.

Tessa has had surgery again. Is she OK? Will they be able to compete this season?

@jchang365

They may have been "strategically" made. Aren't ALL their decisions made in a thoughtful manner? I would gues.....I just disagree respectfully.  I didn't like the "manly' outfit on such a feminine woman. That's all.

@cepivon I thought it was extremely innovative and more interesting than the usual hearttrending, overly dramatic movie-music selections, anyway.

Tights over the skates creates the illusion of a longer leg line and emphasizes Tessa's good toe point and extension. The costumes were deliberately simple and black to focus the attention to the quality of their skating skills and the choreography. These choices were most likely strategically made as they were vastly underprepared that year due to Tessa's injury.

@cucumbermey

its not about the outfit, its about the skate

[cucumbermey]

she could have at least tucked her tights inside her skates....

I just didn't like Tessa's outfit. It was not sexy and should have been. Good dance though. Liked Scott's outfit. Also, not crazy about the music selection for a FD.
