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 Little Sunshine for Every Routine
The Zone Sunbeam girls’ long sleeve gymnastics leotard (Z102GLA8) pairs smooth, shiny stretch fabric with a radiant crystal motif for classes, club training and display routines. The long sleeves and scoop back give it a classic gymnastics shape, while the glossy finish catches the light as your child moves. With rays of sparkle sweeping across the front, Sunbeam is a cheerful choice for young gymnasts who enjoy a brighter look, from practising a new skill to showing a favourite routine.
The Zone Sunbeam Shine Gymnastics Leotard – Design & Performance
Made from 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, Sunbeam combines a smooth fabric feel with flexible stretch through the body and sleeves. The glossy shine finish gives the leotard a luminous look, while the stretch allows the fabric to move with reaching, bending and the changing shapes of gymnastics practice.
The full-length sleeves provide arm coverage from shoulder to wrist. A round front neckline and curved scoop back keep the shape familiar and easy to wear, with solid fabric through the body and arms. The plain back also gives the shiny finish space to stand out.
The Sunbeam crystal motif fans across the front in radiating lines, adding a burst of sparkle to the clean silhouette. Part of The Zone’s Glam Collection, this design pairs an eye-catching finish with a classic cut. Wear it on its own for class or with gymnastics shorts when extra coverage is preferred.

Sunbeam brings a sense of occasion to a familiar long sleeve shape. The combination of glossy fabric and radiating crystal detail makes it a lovely choice for a gymnast who enjoys dressing up for the sport they love.
How Can I Help Keep a Gymnastics Leotard Sparkling?
Shiny fabrics and crystal motifs benefit from a little extra care between classes. Follow the garment’s care label, turn the leotard inside out before washing and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the decorated surface. When packing the gym bag, keep it separate from rough items and exposed hook-and-loop fastenings.
Let it dry fully before putting it away. After washing, hang the leotard promptly on a hanger, away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying, ironing or draping it over a radiator. These simple habits help care for the finish so your gymnast can enjoy its sparkle for longer.
