    A skating dress shouldn't be too difficult to make after you have mastered the basics of sewing, though you might not want to make anything too elaborate at first until you become more advanced. Here are several skating dress patterns that you can buy: http://skatingdresspatterns.com/

    It might be a bit ambitious unless you have already done a lot of sewing.

    Why don't you buy a cheap plain dress or leotard (ebay is a good place to look, but you'd need to get an adult to do the actual buying for you) and customise it?

    I don't fully make my own but i do customize alter and personalize my own. I often buy normal or theatrical fashions and adapt for skating. Another tip is to buy simple skating clothes on ebay and add sequins rhinestones and ribbons, or even applique designs on them.
