Capezio Girls' Classic Long Sleeve Leotard

I ordered both the Capezio Long Sleeve Leotard and Low Rise Ankle Pant in Intermediate (6-8) for my 4 1/2 yr. old daughter, who is 43.5 in. tall (about 85th percentile) and 42 lbs. (about 75th percentile). (So, she's tall and has an average to slim build.) The sleeves on the leotard are a little long (just over her wrists) and the pants are just a little long as well, but both are wearable now and will probably fit for the next year or more. I washed both according to directions (cold, delicate cycle with like colors, line dry) and didn't notice any shrinkage. Both are made of a substantial weight fabric, and the pink leotard had a nude fabric lining in the front. My daughter wore both to her gymnastics class and was comfortable and happy in them. The black pants seem to pick up a lot of lint, but that's easy to remove with a sticky roller.

My daughter REFUSED to take this (and her tights) off for her nap after her first dance class. She's at about the 97th% percentile height-wise and 50th percentile weight-wise so I thought it might be a bit snug, but she was very comfortable and was able to cause multiple levels of mischief. She's only 95% potty-trained so I was worried that a pull-up might be too uncomfortable or interfering but it worked out perfectly with pull-ups or underwear. My daughter's only three so this was more for fashion than form, but the quality is great and the sizing recommendations from other reviewers were very helpful.

I would definitely recommend this product!! I have a dance background and now my 6 year old daughter dances--and I can tell you--cannot go wrong with Capezio brand. They are a nice weight and have the right amount of lycra to hold their shape. Cheaper brands stretch out and don't look nearly as nice. My daughter wear size 6/7 and this leotard fits her perfectly--I can tell it will last for 2 years-just like our other Capezio leotards! You will not be disappointed if you get this brand!!!

The fabric is high quality and the fit is great. Very happy with the order!

As others have mentioned, the fit on this is a bit off. After reading the other reviews, I bought my almost five year old average sized daughter an Intermediate 6-8. It's a bit baggy on her and the arms are too long making the overall look a bit messy, but the leg openings are comfortable for her and the waist does smooth out and seem to fit nicely so I am reluctant to go down a size. It's September now and I bought this for her dance class for the winter months ahead. I'm hoping she grows into it and it eventually fits her well overall rather than fitting in some areas and looking baggy in others. Fit aside, it does seem well made and I do like that the front is lined.

My daughter always gets cold at the beginning of dance class for the long sleeves are great for winter. It is comfortable, stretchy, and durable.

This leotard is great for my daughters dance class. It washes well and is true to size. I would definitely buy again.

We gave this leotard to our 3 year old granddaughter for Christmas and she wanted to wear it for 3 days in a row! It’s definitely all cotton, so comfortable , and the quality is excellent.

Bien
