The Zone gymnastics leotards are designed for a close, flexible fit. Use actual body measurements rather than age alone wherever possible. For leotards, girth is especially important because it reflects the full length of the torso. If measurements fall between two sizes, the larger size is usually the better starting point.

For gymnastics leotards, girth is the key measurement when the numbers point to different sizes. If height or chest suggests one size but girth sits closer to the next, choosing the larger size will usually give a more comfortable torso fit.
How to Measure for The Zone Gymnastics Leotards
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.

Girth
Key MeasurementUsing a flexible tape measure, start at the centre of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. Girth is especially useful when choosing between two leotard sizes.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body. The tape should sit comfortably without compressing the chest.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Hips are not included in this particular The Zone size table, but they can still be useful when checking overall body proportions and leotard coverage.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
The Zone uses numbered gymnastics sizes rather than standard clothing sizes. Current girls' styles commonly progress from size 24 for younger children through sizes 26, 28, 30 and 32, with size 34 moving into Women's Small on many models. Use age only as a guide and prioritise actual body measurements, particularly girth, when choosing a leotard.

Two Tones, a Whole Lot of Sparkle
The Zone Belle Z554 girls’ gymnastics leotard brings a little sparkle to a striking two-tone design. A glossy coloured body meets contrasting upper panels and sleeves, with shimmering dots carrying the decoration around the shoulders and back. A soft V-neck and crystal detail at the front give Belle its pretty finishing touches. Made from 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, this long-sleeve gymnastics leotard combines flexible stretch with a close shape for young gymnasts who enjoy bold colour, covered arms and a little extra shine in their training wardrobe.
The Zone Belle Z554 Gymnastics Leotard – Design & Performance
The polyamide and elastane fabric has a smooth surface and glossy sheen, with stretch through the body and sleeves. The 80% polyamide and 20% elastane blend follows a close gymnastics fit while allowing reaching and bending. The sleeves extend below the elbows, with the photographed fit finishing above the wrists.
The two-tone panel design creates a pointed shape at the upper front, where the coloured body meets the contrasting shoulder section. Belle foil-print panels bring scattered sparkle across the sleeves and upper body, while crystal detail adds a small decorative accent at the chest. Matching neckline binding follows the gentle V shape.
At the back, a rounded scoop neckline sits above the sparkling upper panel. A straight seam separates this section from the glossy lower body, giving the rear a different outline from the pointed front. The sleeve decoration continues around the arms, and a small Zone logo at the hip completes the design.
For Cooler Gym Days
A useful choice when your gymnast prefers a little more arm coverage during class.
Try a Reach Before Class
Check the fit with both arms raised so the shoulders and sleeves feel comfortable together.
Easy to Coordinate
Plain gymnastics shorts make a simple pairing when your child wants extra leg coverage.
Be Gentle with Sleeves
Ease each sleeve off gradually after class, helping younger gymnasts avoid tugging at the cuffs.

Who Is The Zone Belle Z554 Best For?
Belle suits young gymnasts who enjoy a little more arm coverage and a sparkling, dressed-up look. Its two-tone design makes a colourful choice for regular classes and club training, and it can also suit displays where the style meets the club’s clothing requirements. The sleeve fit is worth checking during an overhead reach.
Product Highlight
✦ Sparkle That Goes All the Way Around
Belle carries its shimmering dot detail across the shoulders, sleeves and upper back, so the decoration is visible from several angles. The glossy body gives the design a bold block of colour, while the pointed front panel adds a neat focal point beneath the neckline.
Should My Child Choose a Leotard with Sleeves?
Sleeve choice often comes down to personal preference and the temperature of the gym. Belle offers more arm coverage, which may appeal during cooler sessions or to children who simply like the feel of sleeves. Consider how warm your child usually feels once class is underway.
Choose the sleeve style your child feels comfortable moving in. Check that the fabric feels comfortable around the elbows and shoulders, and use torso girth alongside the other size-guide measurements. For a display or competition, check whether the club asks for a particular sleeve style.
