Quick answer
My child's leotard doesn't fit
When the leotard arrived and it doesn't fit right: too short in the torso, too tight in the arms, or pulling at the gusset: and you need to figure out whether to exchange, resize, or switch brands.
Quick read
Check the seller's exchange policy before doing anything else. Leotard fit problems are almost always a sizing or cut issue, not a defect. Measure your child's chest, waist, hip, and torso length (shoulder to crotch) and compare against the brand's chart. If it's short in the torso, size up or switch to a brand with longer torso options. If only the arms are tight but the body fits, try a different sleeve cut in the same size before sizing up.
What to do
- Define the exact purchase constraint first.
- Shortlist two practical buying paths.
- Capture return, shipping, and fit risk before checkout.
Common mistakes
- Don't assume generic category advice beats studio or fitter requirements.
- Don't ignore return-policy constraints under urgency.
