  • Question
    How do you make a long sleeve leotard?

    Community Answer
    Fold a leotard in half lengthwise and trace the pattern on paper. Then, measure the length of one of your arms and add it to the outline you traced so you can incorporate it into your design.

  • Question
    Can you use a swimsuit as a leotard?
    Drew Hawkins1
    Community Answer
    No, a swimsuit won't work as well as a leotard. Even though a swimsuit and a leotard may look and feel similar, a swimsuit will not stretch or perform as well as a leotard if used for sports such as gymnastics. It is designed for swimming, the other for stretching exercise and dance.

    This guide to make a leotard requires a pattern using an existing leotard. What if I have no existing leotard?
    Community Answer
    Go to a craft store like JOANN or Michael's and purchase a paper pattern. You can also buy one online (e.g., Amazon). They're inexpensive!
