How many leotards/outfits does your daughter have?

[xstitchcarina]

Does your daughter have lots of different outfits, or just a few? When do they get a new one?

My daughter has 2 2nd hand ones, and 1 made one through someone on the internet, cause that wasn't too expensive. Here in Holland they are so expensive in speciality shops.

Now next month she is getting a new one, because we promised her she would get one with out sleeves for Spring, most girls use one without sleeves. She will get a pair of pants/leggins as well. She is quite excited understandably.

My daughter has two uniform practice leotards and one competition leo. She also has one she has that she practices in on optional days. They have to wear the practice uniforms on the regular practice days and the can wear whatever leo they want on the optional day. Their practice leos are no sleeves. Only the competition leo has sleeves.

Oh right. At my daughters club they only have a competition leotard. And for the lessons they can wear what they like. Most girls, except some of the new young girls, have a beautiful selfpicked leotard. I will put up a picture of the one Talitha is getting. She will also get a pair of shorts with it, in dark purple.

that is a gorgeous leotard... wow - i love it. we have collected a few - well I think 7 - some are so cute, I can't resist....+ some have lasted us for over a year. Has anyone purchased from the Leotard crazy shop??? I saw some cute ones there, but I was afraid they would turn out to be a wrong fit for my dd... she fits great into the GK sc right now... has anyone here purchased/compared fits?

I haven´t heard of that shop, want to have a look. Even if I could see what htey have. I think you have so many cute ones. My daughter loves purple. The one I had made, the one you see below, I sent a picture of one I had found online and she made it look sort of like it. But the ones you buy in a shop online, do sort of look a bit more beautiful. We are ordering it next month for her.

That's such a cute leotard! Your daughter is adorable. Mine won't wear long sleeved leos for practice, though obviously she's going to have to wear one for competition next year. She probably has 10 leos for practice, which is a ton, but I figure once summer starts and she's in the gym 4 days a week we will be happy to have that many. We are very lucky in that we live near the Dreamlight factory so we can buy leos for a lot less than you pay at the gym. I bought several at Dreamlight's last sale for $6 each! My son is in gymnastics too but the boys just wear gym shorts and sleeveless undershirts to work out - much cheaper!

Talk to Audra (on this board) about sizing. You can just PM her. We run Leotard Crazy. As long as you haven't taken the tags off you can return/exchange leos. Check out our return policy at LeotardCrazy.com.

Most of our online leos are MotionWear (great brand). At the gym we carry GK, Alpha Factor, MotionWear, Dreamlight, and more.

Thanks Meg. Until Talitha only had long sleeved ones. Except the competition one, but that is not her own, that is the clubs. But man $6 dollars for a leotard. The one we are getting, with the pants, will cost us like $80, including sending costs. I should have a look out to see if I can buy one in the States, if the sending costs are not too much.

She is very picky. I had got her a couple off ebay last year when she made pre-team since she was going to class two times a week. She doesn't care for the higher necklines and doesn't like them tight. A friend had given us some unitards and she hates them and won't wear them either. I also bought 2 from the gym for a rec Beach Bash show and Winter Snowflake show. Cute leos from Snowflake design but they ended up shrinky-dinked after a wash & dry and I ended up giving them away to a friend.

She got a pre-team leo (GK) that was my first real "taste" of the cost of a leo, it was $65 and she's only had it for about 8 months and it's already snug but she HAS to wear it now on Sat for "team" day. It is a blue one and all the other girls have red ones so her & her cousin look a little odd, LOL! Maybe she'll get one after the next order. Oh, and she suckered me into one at Christmas time from when the gym was selling them. And, she got one for her B-Day with her name on it because when she first joined the team nobody knew her name and she was pretty shy about telling people. OK, she is a leo diva at age 6! They are all short sleeved except one old one we bought at Target maybe (that may be too small now too!) and in all she has about 6 or 7.

Let's see. My daughter has her meet leo which has sleeves that only come to the elbows. She can't stand long sleeve leos at all. Then she has the warm up/team leo(tank style) that all the team girls wear for their last practice of the week and at meets with traditional warm up format. She has about 5 or 6 practice leos. I notice most of the girls tend to have a couple of favorite leos. Mine has a blue one that was a hand me down from a coach whose daughter outgrew a bunch. She's had it for 2 years and it still looks good and fits her. She usually ends up wearing it once a week(has practice 4 days/week). I think she also feels there is some "luck" attached to it also!
