balletmum13 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could purchase some pretty long sleeved leotards for my 14 year old dd. They need to be full arm length ,not 3/4. This is due to certain issues that we are faced with. I have found some some but they all tend to be very plain and not flattering which is not the quite the look my dd is going for. Thanks for any help anyone could give.

Moomin Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I've had a nice one from Bloch in the winter before now. Could she wear a small shrug? https://ids.co.uk/bloch-lydia-long-sleeve-shrug.html?sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBallerina Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Grishko's long sleeved leotards are quite nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate_N Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have one a bit like this in black: the lace is pretty solid and covers up my (aging crepey) arms to over my wrists. When I wear it, I get compliments about it (the only design fault is that it's quite difficult to get out of!): Long sleeve lace leotard (Can't find the original, but it's like this one). I also have this one, which is plainer, but elegant, because of the wide line across the shoulder & neck. Although I find the heavy velvet seam at the shoulder can sometimes make it look as though I'm hitching up my shoulders (even more than I actually do): Velvet two-tone leotard This also looks fun, but I haven't worn it: https://www.dancedirect.com/uk/product/lulli-mesh-long-sleeved-leotard It can depend on how much you want to pay: there are lots of custom-design leotards available by mail order from the US: Yumiko is the famous one, I think.

mimi'smom Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Lucky Leo do this beautiful Revolve top. It is designed to be worn with the revolve leotard but watching the 'how to wear it' video on the website, it looks to me like it could be worn over any leotard (maybe with the addition of a couple of loops as shown) quite expensive but if it worked, would transform lots of different sleeveless leotards she may already have. https://www.luckyleodancewear.com/collections/womens-custom-leotards/products/revolve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_emeralds Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yumiko (as KateN has mentioned) and Eleve do custom leotards, so you can add sleeves as per your requirements. Yumiko are based in Spain and Eleve the USA. I've bought many Yumikos and they wash and wear really well so I think they're great value. I've never purchased an Eleve Leo myself but they do some beautiful colours and unusual fabrics so they may be worth a look too. as Eleve are US-based you may be slapped with additional customs charges. http://www.elevedancewear.com http://www.yumiko.com/eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwenlc Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Capezio has a flattering v-neck leotard with mesh long sleeves that look quite opaque and a low mesh v-back http://www.movedancewear.com/en/leotards-capezio_v_back_long_sleeve_leotard_black/2810/?sc=1&gclid=Cj0KEQjw9r7JBRCj37PlltTskaMBEiQAKTzTfHMOByEGcMp8ESjItRN1mA01eIS027XqcCLIvosMU4gaAoRf8P8HAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkin16 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Not a long sleeve leotard but for a short term fix that can be worn with existing leotards, chop up an old pair of tights. You can turn them into a top to wear over a leotard or into a shrug type cardigan that just covers the upper back and arms. Might be lighter than a leotard with full sleeves too as it's pretty hot at the moment! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Energetiks is an Australian company that I think ships internationally. They're one of my go-tos and I noticed this nice long sleeve leotard the other day. http://www.energetiks.com.au/sophie-leotard_2420824/ Might be good if you want to avoid mesh or lace, nice fun colours and I think is pretty for either a younger child or an adult to wear without looking too young or too old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
