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.

Made for That Proud Final Pose
The Zone Inspire Z785 girls’ long sleeve gymnastics leotard combines ombré mesh sleeves, a smooth stretch body and beautifully placed crystals for a polished gymnastics look. Sparkle across the front, waist and cuffs gives it a special sense of occasion, while the round neckline and scoop back keep the shape familiar. It is a lovely choice for young gymnasts who enjoy dressing for a display or performance, with soft colour transitions and delicate detail that make every finished pose feel a little more special.
The Zone Inspire Mesh Gymnastics Leotard – Design & Performance
The 78% recycled nylon and 22% elastane fabric blend gives Inspire a smooth, flexible body that follows the changing shapes of gymnastics practice. The round front neckline and scoop back create a classic outline, with a neat fit that allows the printed design and crystal placement to stand out.
The full-length sublimated mesh sleeves bring a soft ombré colour fade to the arms. Their sheer finish keeps the design visually light, while scattered crystals lead down to sparkling rows at the cuffs. The sleeves are an especially pretty part of the design when the arms are lifted or extended.
A generous scattering of crystals across the bodice highlights the angular front design. Neat crystal rows at the waist continue around the back, bringing the decoration together from every angle. With the main body covered and the sleeves deliberately sheer, Inspire balances a familiar gymnastics shape with finer performance details.

Who Is Inspire Best For?
A beautiful choice for young gymnasts who enjoy detailed leotards and the elegance of long mesh sleeves. Inspire is especially suited to displays, performances and those exciting moments when a gymnast wants their outfit to feel a little more special. It can also bring a dressed-up feel to club training, with competition use guided by the club’s kit requirements.
Product Highlight
✦ Sparkle from Every Angle
Inspire’s charm is in the way the details work together: ombré sleeves, crystals at the wrists and a sparkling waist that continues around the back. The decoration follows the whole design, giving a simple arm line or proud final pose an elegant finishing touch.
Choosing a Leotard for a Display or Competition?
Before choosing an outfit for an event, ask your child’s coach whether the club has a set team leotard or allows gymnasts to choose their own design. This helps you find something that suits the occasion as well as your gymnast’s taste.
Try the complete outfit on before the big day. Ask your child to reach overhead, bend their elbows and move gently through a few familiar stretches. The body and sleeves should sit comfortably without pulling. If they will wear an underlayer or shorts, include those in the fit check too.
