Can anyone tell me if there is a company that make leotards suitable for plus sized kids? We have been through a number of brands in AL/AXL and they are all still pulling up in DDs hips/crotch area. It doesn't help that she is extremely sensitive and doesn't function well when things are too tight/constricting or itchy, and she won't wear open backs (that was my first idea). We have had luck until this point with the silky material Destira AL leos. They are soft, stretchy, and cut nicely. Their size chart lists an XL, which would be perfect, but a chat with customer service reveals they don't actually stock them. My DD can't be the only girl to need a leo which is cut more generously... I know most gymnasts are tiny, but there has to be other kids who aren't. Or even older teens/adults who still do gym. We typically buy only used leotards, which has meant no returns and a lot of leos being donated unworn. I would be happy to pay for brand new in a few leos if they fit perfectly. She practices 3 days a week, so really doesn't need too many. Any advice on brands, or should I just resign myself to custom made? Thanks!
