Buying a leotard can be just like buying any other piece of clothing that you purchase. Using basic clothes-buying tips, you can purchase a leotard for yourself for yoga, the gym or a dance class. Use the same techniques to find a leotard for a child who is beginning a dance or tumbling class.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine what your needs are in buying a leotard. This might be for a dance class, dance performance, yoga class or even for work-out attire. Once you have determined your purpose, you can move on to deciding what type of fabric or material your leotard should be made of. There are many selections to pick from, such as cotton, lycra and spandex. Also, consider if your leotard selection needs to have a built in bra or extra lining. Consider the style of leotard you will purchase to make sure that it has the support and style for the type of activity it will be worn for.

  2. Step 2

    Check with dancewear or fitness retailers. These are found in malls, shopping centers, work-out facilities, dance studios and booths set up at dance workshops and conventions. These retailers will have large selections of basic leotards and are more than willing to work with you to order a leotard for you from one of their catalogs.

  3. Step 3

    Ask your dance instructor to help you select a leotard to order from one of their dancewear catalogs. These can usually be shipped anywhere from overnight to several weeks, depending upon how much you want to spend and how soon you will need the leotard. If you are buying leotards for an entire group, ordering through your dance director is usually the best way to handle a large purchase.

  4. Step 4

    Order leotards directly from the manufacturer by way of the information listed in the back of dance magazines and periodicals.

  5. Step 5

    Search online or the Internet to find dancewear or fitness retailers to order online and have your leotard purchase shipped directly to your door step.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep all your receipts and shipping information for your leotard purchases that were online or mail-ordered in the event the wrong item is shipped, you receive the wrong size or should the item not hold up as advertised.
