leotard

Does anyone else have a leotard problem? As in buying too many leos for your DD's? My DD is only 6 and leos take up at least 1/3 of her closet. She does not need that many, not even close! She has more leos than actual outfits, most likely. If I see a cute leo, new or used, I tend to go ahead...

Does anyone know what the leos look like for nationals this year? I believe Region colors changed as well.

I am wearing GK As and Alpha factor ASM. please tell me if I should order size 32 or 34 Zone leotard. I don't want to tight but not too big either. Thank you.

I guess this may be answered mostly by coaches, but parents feel free to jump in with info & opinions too. We are changing our team leos & warm ups this next season. It makes me sad because I LOVE our current leo! It's our second year with that one though so it's time for a change. So my...

So, we are at a meet right now that says that each competitor is to receive a leotard. DD competed yesterday and this did not happen. Am I missing something? We have never been to a meet that has Leos as a gymnast gift. Do they ship them to your gym?Should we ask our coaches. Would a meet host...

A few questions re competition leotards: 1. Experience with Dreamlight leos? How well do they hold up, how is sizing compared to GK? Any recommendations or experiences with their variety of fabrics? 2. Experience with mesh sleeves and (and shoulders?) Is the mesh harder to care for and does it...

Does anyone know - if hand sanitizer touches a foil/mystique leo, would the alcohol take the color off and leave a silver spot? Anyone have any experience???

Are there any Canadian leotard companies? Or some American ones with reasonable shipping to Canada? Every time I try to order one from plum, gk, etc the shipping end up being almost as much as the leotard!

Hi, this is my first post after using as a guest for almost a year! I'm a 14 year old gymnast who is in the need of new leos. I like many of gk's designs but they are very pricey. I typically prefer a plain leo like the gymtek and branded basics from gk. I've looked everywhere and can't find...

I wasn't sure how to title this, and hopefully I'm worrying about something that won't turn out to be an issue, but I'm curious about meets that have a giveaway leo that they have all the girls wear for the meet itself. We are heading to one in a few weeks and I'm wondering, has anyone run into...

I need to wash my DD's competition leo and warm ups and looking for the best way to do that without ruining them. I know not to put them in the washing machine or dryer. Is there a special soap, like woolite, that you use when you hand wash them or is there another type of soap that anyone would...

We get new leos every two years, so next year we will get a new one. What do you guys usually do with old comp. leos? Mine are long sleeve so not very fun to work out in! :D

An old leotard of mine has a hole in the side. Normally I would sew holes like these, but the leotard is small enough on me that it's probably time to toss it or sew the hole and give it away. However, it's a beautiful leotard. The material is very thin, and the leotard has colored...

So my cute lil' 9 yo gymmie was super stinky after our meet this past Friday. I walked into my room where she was hanging out watching her ipad (and still in full leo attire) and couldn't figure out what the smell was.... So I made her immediately get up and shower and put her uniform in the...

Anyone tried using the new rinse-free detergents (such as Soak or Eucalan) to wash leos? They are advertised as being safe for delicates so it sounds like they could be a good alternative, but wondering if anyone has experience.

Does anyone have any tips for sewing their own gymnastics leotards? I have decent sewing skills and a good machine, but I've never tried sewing spandex/Lycra before. I recently bought some spandex that would make a beautiful leotard! P.S. This is my first post, not sure if it's in the right...

I love GK leotards, but they run around $60 on the website and I just can't pay that much for a practice leotard. So, is there anywhere I can find them cheaper? Thanks

Does anyone know a retailer that sells them in the US? Just found out today my DD has an exhibition in 2.5 weeks and she doesn't have a leotard. We do not have time to order from overseas or do a custom leo.. Barring being able to find one anywhere, I read somewhere that skating dresses are so...

Anyone know anywhere (preferably in the UK) that sell new adidas leos? I know gk-elite sportswear used to but they are no longer stockists.

Hi all- I am embarking yet again on a leo-making project. Before, I really struggled with adding the elastic to the leg holes. I just saw a blog post where someone had used foldover elastic to bind the edges, which looked really cute when done in a contrasting color. I think that this would work...
