A decision on plans to ban nude bathing at Harrogate's Turkish Baths has been delayed to allow council chiefs more time to mull it over.
The 124-year-old spa, run by Harrogate council, has previously had swimwear-free options at single-sex sessions.
However, covering up could be made compulsory because the authority said it would reflect greater "equality" in the modern world.
Meanwhile a planned move to mixed-sex sessions only has been reversed.
The changes to end single-sex sessions were revealed last year but customers criticised it and said people would stop visiting if it went ahead, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
