Why Gymnasts Love The Zone Zodiac

• Soft velour feel: A plush surface and gentle sheen bring a tactile finish to everyday gymnastics wear.
• Coordinated sparkle: Crystals decorate the front, back and lower sleeves, adding detail as your gymnast moves.
• Long sleeve coverage: Stretch fabric covers the arms while allowing comfortable reaching and bending when correctly fitted.
• Easy to complete the outfit: Pair with plain gymnastics shorts for extra leg coverage while keeping the ombré design in focus.

The Zone Zodiac Velour Leotard – Fabric & Fit

Made from 90% polyester and 10% elastane, the stretch velour combines a soft, velvet-like surface with flexibility through the body and sleeves. The close gymnastics fit follows the torso, with a rounded neckline at the front and a deeper scoop at the back.

The sublimated blue ombré continues down the sleeves, creating a coordinated colour fade. A broad V-shaped crystal arrangement decorates the front, with a smaller motif above the white waist line at the back. Scattered crystals on the lower sleeves and a small Zone logo at the hip complete the finish.

Compare your gymnast’s measurements with The Zone size chart, paying particular attention to torso length and sleeve fit. Check that the neckline and leg openings sit comfortably during a reach and bend. The velour appears opaque in the product photographs; individual fit, stretch and lighting may affect coverage.

Getting Ready for Gymnastics Class

Zodiac is a lovely option for gymnasts who enjoy blue shades, plush fabrics and a little sparkle. Add a zip-front warm-up jacket for the journey to the gym, then ease each sleeve into position without tugging on the decorated areas. For competitions and team displays, check your club’s kit requirements before choosing an individual design.

Dance World Tip: Pack the leotard in a smooth fabric pouch to keep the velour and crystals separate from rough grips and exposed hook-and-loop fastenings.

The Zone sizing: Choose using The Zone size options and the size guide on this page. Compare your child’s body measurements with the chart, using age as a guide. Pay particular attention to torso girth when choosing a gymnastics leotard.
Fit: A close gymnastics shape with long sleeves and a scoop back. The neckline should sit neatly without gaping, and the shoulders, underarms and leg openings should feel comfortable. Individual fit can vary with body proportions and style.
Check torso length: Measure from the centre of one shoulder, down the front of the body, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

To ensure that your garment maintains maximum performance and style, we recommend that all leotards are turned inside out and machine washed on a 30 degrees short cycle. Immediately hang the item out to dry on a coat hanger and keep away from heat.
