Tips for Sizing
Destira apparel runs fairly true to your athlete's clothing size. Most often, an athlete will wear the same size they wear in street clothes.
For example, a Child Large (10/12) in girls clothing is a Child Large (10) in Destira.
Leotards, shorts, leggings, and tank tops are made to fit tightly so we suggest sizing up for growing room or a more relaxed fit. Metallic fabrics have less stretch and will have a tighter feel when worn. Keep fabric type in mind when choosing size.
Please do not size based on another athletic apparel brand, as each brand runs differently. When in doubt size to your athlete's street clothing size.

The ocean waves come and go on shore with an elegant flow that gymnasts and dancers bring to their routines. 🌊
Feel the elegance pour out of you in Tidal Wave, a split-back tank leotard made from our signature soft fabric. The front and top half of the back of this gymnastics leotard have a watercolor ripple pattern of blues and greens that are accented with gold. A style as classic and distinguished as waves on the shore. The bottom half of the back is a solid navy blue signifying the strength and poise of each athlete who wears Tidal Wave.
- Our buttery soft material is a perfect choice for gymnasts who demand a fabric that is ultra-soft and comfy.
- The split back styling is an especially great fit for athletes with longer torsos.
- Matching scrunchie included.
Our apparel runs true to size as we follow national clothing standards. The size your gymnast wears in street clothing is a great starting point.
We discourage using other leotard brands as a reference point as all brands size differently.
Check out our size chart that has the most up-to-date information regarding fit. We recommend measuring your gymnast and referring to the chart when deciding which size to order to get the best, most accurate suggestion. If you’re deciding between two different sizes, we suggest choosing the size that is closest to your gymnast’s torso measurement as this is the most important one.
Please note: Our Junior (JR) size has recently been renamed to Child X-Large (CXL).
Should your item not fit as expected, we always offer free first time exchanges!
*Exchanges subject to eligibility and availability. Custom items are final sale so we recommend sizing up for extra room to grow.
Our apparel is designed to exceed product lifetime standards for athletic wear. Garments that undergo the demands of sports can expect a life span of about 1.5-2 years if care instructions are adhered to.
The proper way to care for your apparel is to hand wash inside out in cold water using a mild detergent and hang to dry. Do not use Woolite, granular detergent, fabric softener, or bleach. Do not iron.
Embellishments, such as crystals, and graphics are subject to abrasion wear. Velcro on mats and gym equipment can cause damage. Be gentle with mesh, lace and other delicate details. Strappy leotards should be pulled up by the body to minimize stress at the seams.

This was on my bucket list! Such pretty water colors!
9 yo daughter loves it. Super cute.
My daughter loves her new leotard. It fits well. She is 5'3", usually wears XS in women's clothing. This leo fits more comfortably in Women's M size for her.
The color is beautiful and the "gold" (yellow lines) still looks good in person.
She just turned 11 yrs old, but she is short for her age, and very lean, and still wears sizes 7-8 or 8-10 clothing. We got her the youth Large fit her well, with some room to grow.
Great fit, very comfy, and super stylish! This leo is a perfect "10"!
Great looking leo and good quality!
This was exactly what I was expecting it to be from the description and picture. It fits just right, and my gymnastwas very comfortable wearing it to practice.
Leotard was a perfect fit. The colors are beautiful and the quality is great.
This company never told me that the leotard I ordered was on back order when I ordered it; rather they took my money and then sent me the pieces that "matched" the leotard and then advised me on the invoice in a handwritten note that the main piece (the leotard) was on backorder. However, when I looked, it showed that the leotard can be purchased without any notice that it is on back order. I ordered the leotard and 2 extra matching pieces on 12/2/23 for Christmas and was advised that the company ships items within 1-2 days. I still have not received the leotard and it is now 18 days later. So, according to the site, the have the leotard in stock, you order and pay for the item, you order and pay for matching items, you receive the matching items and are advised on the invoice that the leotard is on backorder. However when you go back to the website, the leotard is available and says nothing about it being on backorder. I need the leotard for Christmas for my granddaughter. Additionally, it says I could buy 3 items and I get one item free. I was never provided a free item.
It is stunningly beautiful and modest. Everyone else on the level 5 team got one. AND at an affordable price?! God be praised and may He bless destira for finally inventing this
