Child’s Size Chart

Note: Garland Activewear leotards run true to the garment industry’s standard. When try on for size garments are not used, we recommend using clothing size as outlined below as the best indicator of size. The size chart below is based on a snug/sleek fitting garment. Gymnasts that prefer a looser fitting garment should size up.

Adult Sizing

Boys Sizing

Torso measurement is taken from the top of the shoulder down through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder.

Sizing:

All measurements are a guideline. Sizing is affected by fabric stretch, garment construction, and athlete fit preferences. Garland Activewear leotards run true to the garment industry’s standard thus may be smaller than the brand of leotards you are currently using.
If measurements fall between sizes, use the smaller size for a tighter, competition fit or the larger size for growing room.

Metallic and hologram fabrics and layered sheer mesh will fit tighter than plain nylons or sublimation. We strongly recommend the use of our sizing leotards to ensure you are getting the perfect fit.

All hologram, foil, and “effects” fabrics are subject to loss of shine with wear and repeated washings.  These fabrics will lose shine in wear areas such as the seat, under the arms, and at the abdomen.  Avoid abrasion.  Light colors combined with black or dark colors are subject to color transference or bleeding and must be laundered carefully to lessen the possibility of this occurring.

Follow these directions carefully to avoid these problems on all “effects” fabrics (including those with rhinestones).  Turn the garment inside out.  Hand wash only, with a mild liquid detergent in large quantities of cold water.  DO NOT use Woolite or detergents containing bleach.  DO NOT use fabric softener.   Remove quickly, do not soak.  Roll in a towel to remove excess water, and hang to dry.

For all other fabrics, machine wash gentle cycle in cold water.  Do not use bleach or fabric softener.  Tumble dry low heat, remove promptly.

Hair spray and deodorants may cause staining to delicate fabrics.  Wash carefully after each wearing.  Damp leotards that are left in gym bags are subject to color transference or bleeding.
