Gym leotards are designed to fit close to the body, but comfort matters. A quick measure and a size chart check can help.

1. Measure at home: Use a soft tape for chest, waist, hips, and girth (shoulder, through the legs, back to the same shoulder).
2. Compare to each product’s chart: Sizing can vary by style and seller, so reference the specific chart on the product page.
3. Consider the fit you prefer: For practice, a bit more ease can feel comfy; for performance, a snugger fit is common.

• If between sizes, some shoppers choose the larger size for growing room.
• Read fit notes and reviews when available.
• Availability for pickup or delivery may vary by location; check options at checkout.

Both are popular for gymnastics and dance, but they offer different coverage.

• Leotard: A one-piece without attached shorts. Great for layering with separate shorts or leggings and for a classic look in practice or class.
• Biketard: A one-piece with built-in shorts. Many families like the extra coverage for tumbling and active play.
• Sleeve styles: Tank or sleeveless styles keep things cool; cap sleeves add a touch of coverage; long sleeves can feel warmer and offer a sleek look.
• Design details: From foil prints to ombré and keyhole backs, details vary by item. Choose what feels comfortable and meets your program’s dress code.

Checking each product title and photos can clarify the cut and coverage before you buy.

Careful washing can help keep colors and embellishments looking their best, but results may vary with fabrics and use.

1. Turn inside out to protect prints, foil, and rhinestones.
2. Hand wash or gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent. A mesh laundry bag can reduce friction.
3. Skip bleach and fabric softeners, which may break down stretch and shine.
4. Rinse promptly after practice to remove sweat and chalk before washing.
5. Air dry flat away from heat and direct sun; avoid the dryer and ironing.

Store leotards away from rough surfaces (Velcro, zippers) to minimize snags. Always review any care notes on the product page, since materials can differ by style and seller.

Many girls’ gymnastics leotards also work for dance, and some styles are designed specifically for ballet with skirts or cap sleeves.

• Look for keywords like “dance,” “ballet,” or “skirted leotard” in the title or description.
• Match your studio’s dress code: Some require solid colors, specific sleeve lengths, or skirted styles.
• Comfort and movement: Stretchy fabrics and flat seams can feel great through pliés and jumps.
• Seasonal choices: Sleeveless and tank styles breathe in warm studios; long sleeves add warmth.

When in doubt, check with the teacher about color and style requirements. Availability for pickup or delivery varies by location—check the product page for options.

Some girls’ leotards come with a matching scrunchie, while others are sold as the leotard only.

• Scan the product title for phrases like “with Scrunchie” or “Matching Scrunchie.”
• Check the “What’s included” section and the product description for accessory details.
• Look closely at photos: Sets often show the scrunchie alongside the leotard.
• Confirm seller details: Inclusions can vary by seller, so review the listing before adding to cart.

If you prefer a set, use the search bar with terms like “leotard scrunchie” to narrow results. Pickup and delivery options may be available depending on your location.
