leotard

Hi, An advert for Star leotards popped up on my Facebook the other day so I clicked to have a look. They seemed to have some reasonably priced leos, has anyone had one from their? Just wondering what the quality and sizing is like? Alternatively, does anyone have any other recommendations for...

If you go to gkelite.com they are having a sale on there under armour Leo's are on sale for $20 usually they are $70 ish. But hurry there are not a lot of sizes left.

Where do most of you buy leo's?

I'm about to embark on a little project making my own leotard. I just wondered if anyone had any tips or potential problems I might come across. It would be great to see any pictures of leotards you guys have made to help reassure me it's not as hard as I think :)

I currently have no washing machine (kill me now) and have run out of clean Leo's. I'm embarrassed to admit I have never hand washed anything in my life. I read in the other thread that someone mentioned GK says not to hand wash their Leo's as they bleed? How can I avoid this? Please give me...

My son's the gymnastics guy, but I scored a leo for his 3yo sister at a used kids clothing store for $3.50. It's the fancy kind that goes for $40 at the gym, so score. But....I can't just throw it in the wash can I? Does it need to be handwashed and air dried? I'm totally deficient in laundry...

Hi, everyone! I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in. I usually see the WAG and private forums mainly! Okay, so, my DD entered this contest with Snowflake Designs leotards and she gave them a sketch and description of a couple of her dream leotards. Good news: She is in the top...

My daughter only wears GK leos because I know their sizing and have been afraid to order anything different. I'd like to try some other brands though! Can you guys tell me some other popular brands and how they fit in comparison to GK? (size AXS to be exact & she has tiny hips and butt but...

My youngest DD will only wear spaghetti strap leotards, according to her they're the only comfortable ones. We buy most leos at meets or at her gyms pro-shop, but lately we haven't seen any spaghetti strap ones. She recently hit a growth spurt and definitely needs new leos! I went on the GK...

The thread about finances made me curious-how often does your gym change leo styles? Both gyms we have been to are every other year. I kind of figured this is standard? I have also always wondered, Do the leo companies discontinue the styles every couple of years to force gyms to buy new ones?

Question for all you sewers ... I have found a number of nice leotard patterns on Etsy that are downloadable as pdf's. I have never done this before and am wondering how tedious it is to print them out and piece the patterns together. If you have done this before I would appreciate any...

Hello! This is my first year as a competition parent. My daughter is 7. Of course our comp leos have white sleeves. Hers is very dingy - almost like there's makeup in the fabric, especially along the sleeves. I have washed it per the instructions using the hand wash setting on my machine...

My DD has a rash from her leo that never seems to go away. Mostly on her bottom :oops: Any OTC creams or home remedies that help with this? Thank you!

Just curious, our head coach prefers the girls wear their leos so tight they look painted on. She loathes "baggy butt syndrome", particularly for comp leos. This does not bother my daughter, but there are other kids for whom it's a problem. One girl in particular I'm thinking of: she is the same...

Hi, everyone. I was wondering how leotards fit compared to other brands. The brands I have are Gk, Adidas, (both the old and new ones) Under Armour, Alpha Factor, Christian Moreau, and Milano. I am curious how plum leotards, Ozone, Dreamlight, and even Ivivva fit compared to these brands. Thanks.

What is the difference between the two cuts?

Dd fell in love with a Milano leotard on eBay, I know nothing of their sizing and looked up the manufacturer's website...which wasn't much help. Dd is 44" tall, 44lbs, wears a CM in GK and 6x/7 in Dreamlight (practice), her comp Leo is a 4-6 and seems to run big. She has "muscled up" a bit...

I am hoping some of the members here have been around the block with leotard issues and may have some advice. Background: My dd's optional team got new competitive leotards this year. At the first meet the HC was alerted to the fact that the leotards were cut too high (judges actually...

Could anyone direct me to either links, brands or photos of leotards like the one below that have cut away bits that allow a different colour to show through? Also, are the leotards fully lined so you can't see the material inside? Or can you tell if the material has been trimmed around the cut...

My team just got new leotards this year for competition season and they are gorgeous! The only problem is that they (or at least mine) rides up A LOT! At the mock meet we had several weeks ago, I found that I couldn't do a back walkover without it going up. I'm not talking really about wedgies...
