The Zone gymnastics leotards are designed for a close, flexible fit. Use actual body measurements rather than age alone wherever possible. For leotards, girth is especially important because it reflects the full length of the torso. If measurements fall between two sizes, the larger size is usually the better starting point.

For gymnastics leotards, girth is the key measurement when the numbers point to different sizes. If height or chest suggests one size but girth sits closer to the next, choosing the larger size will usually give a more comfortable torso fit.
How to Measure for The Zone Gymnastics Leotards
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.

Girth
Key MeasurementUsing a flexible tape measure, start at the centre of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. Girth is especially useful when choosing between two leotard sizes.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body. The tape should sit comfortably without compressing the chest.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Hips are not included in this particular The Zone size table, but they can still be useful when checking overall body proportions and leotard coverage.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
The Zone uses numbered gymnastics sizes rather than standard clothing sizes. Current girls' styles commonly progress from size 24 for younger children through sizes 26, 28, 30 and 32, with size 34 moving into Women's Small on many models. Use age only as a guide and prioritise actual body measurements, particularly girth, when choosing a leotard.

A Rainbow with a Twist
The Zone Kaleidoscope Z705 girls’ gymnastics leotard brings a rainbow of colour to a striking sleeveless shape. Long rays of pink, yellow, green and blue taper towards a point above the pale blue lower section, creating a lively Kaleidoscope design with a holo-sheen finish. At the back, broad straps cross in a bold X, framing an open upper back. Made from 87% polyester and 13% elastane, this colourful leotard combines smooth Italian performance fabric with flexible movement for young gymnasts who enjoy a distinctive training outfit.
The Zone Kaleidoscope Z705 Gymnastics Leotard – Design & Performance
The Italian performance fabric combines a smooth feel with four-way stretch for reaching, bending and practising routines. Its 87% polyester and 13% elastane composition gives the close gymnastics shape flexibility through the body. The sleeveless cut leaves the arms uncovered, with a round front neckline completing the simple front outline.
The Kaleidoscope print fans out in long rainbow rays, mixing warm pink, red and yellow with green and pale blue. The rays narrow towards the waist above a pale blue lower section, giving the design a clear focal point. A holo-sheen finish adds light-catching detail, and a small Zone logo sits at the hip.
At the back, two broad straps cross over the upper body, leaving open spaces around the shoulders and between the straps. Warm pink and orange tones continue along the crossed sections. Below them, the rainbow rays meet above the pale blue base, carrying the colourful design around the garment while giving the back its own distinctive shape.

Who Is The Zone Kaleidoscope Z705 Best For?
A colourful choice for young gymnasts who enjoy rainbow designs and a distinctive open back. The broad crossed straps give Kaleidoscope its recognisable shape, while the sleeveless cut and flexible fabric suit active classes and club training. It also works for displays where this style meets the club’s clothing requirements.
Product Highlight
✦ Rainbow Rays, Crossed with Character
The design pairs long rainbow rays with broad straps crossing in a bold X. The colour draws the eye towards the waist at the front, while the open back adds a different shape behind. A pale blue lower section brings the two views together.
How Should a Criss-Cross Back Leotard Fit?
When trying on this style, ask your child to raise both arms and bend gently. The broad straps should lie flat and feel comfortable across the shoulders, with the neckline and edges of the open back sitting neatly. Check for pulling at the shoulders or leg openings as your child moves.
A comfortable back fit starts with the right torso length. Compare girth and body measurements with The Zone size guide, and ask our team for advice if measurements fall between sizes. For club displays or competitions, check that an open-back style meets the clothing requirements.
