Hello ballerinas! :) So, I just finished sewing up the straps on my new(ish) leotard. I bought it to wear under my costume, but the straps didn't line up with where the costume's straps lay. So I just snipped them off and sewed them back on about 4cm closer. Leotards are very adjustable with just some safety pins, or a needle and thread. If you have a plain leotard, you can make a pinch front with a safety pin. Take a small safety pin, point it up, and weave it back in forth through the front inside of your leotard (like how you made paper fans as a kid...we all did that, right?). Just make sure it's centered and enough material is bunched up so you can't see the safety pin. I did this on my Capezio BraTek leo, and I love it! Here are some pics for example:
Sorry for the bad pics, I don't know what's wrong with my camera..
There's tons of ways to alter your leotards! Comment below if you have other ideas.
I had no idea you could make a pinch in a leotard with a safety pin! I've been looking for ways to change up my leotard.
