Leotards

Here are a few guidelines on choosing competition leotards just so you don't buy something "illegal":

1. Narrow straps are not permitted.  Clover leaf and "strappy backs" are also not permitted
2. The cut of the leg must not go above the iliac crest (hip bone) and must not drift there during the routine - not must they start or drift between the buttocks.
3. The back of the leotard must not go below the scapulae (shoulder blades) and the front must not be lower than half way down the sternum. 
4. The back must not be exposed and flesh colour material giving the appearance of large areas of nakedness (eg the trunk) are forbidden
5. Design or transparency must not allow undergarments, trunk, navel or other private parts to be seen.
6. Theatrical and religious themes, cabaret, bikini and swimsuit styles are not allowed.  Pictures in the design and character outfits (eg waiters, sailors) are forbidden

I would avoid the new "Valentino" design of Milano as the holes down the sleeves could be deemed dangerous for acro (fingers/toes can get caught).  It would be OK for tumbling.

I hope the above helps when choosing competition leotards.

A few other competition pointers:

Jewellery, including earrings and studs, necklaces, rings, nose and naval studs are not allowed - they cannot be taped either. 

Hairclips, slides, bands and ribbons (if worn) must be secure: they lose marks if they fall out.  Character hair accessors, eg tiaras, feathers and flowers, are not allowed.

Face painting is not allowed and make-up, whilst not forbidden, must be modest.  There's nothing worse than "painted dolls" on the competition floor.  One would expect adults and teenagers to have a certain amount of make-up but little girls plastered in it does not look good.  They're gymnasts after all.
