Gymnastics Leotards Effect
Who wears leotards?
Leotards are worn by acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, figure skaters, athletes, actors, wrestlers, and circus performers both as practice garments and performance costumes. They are often worn with ballet skirts on top and tights or sometimes bike shorts as underwear.
Leotards are often required by the studio to be worn during practice and in some cases, they require the same outfit when going to a competition. Safety is another reason leotards are required to prevent the child from tripping over loose clothing or avoid the outfit from affecting their balance.
How are leotards supposed to fit?
The leotard should be snug, fitting like a second skin with no excess material. Ensure the leotard has been pulled up properly onto the hip bones. The leotard should not be digging into your child's shoulders. If the seams are stretched, try the next size up.
