The latest addition to K's dance wardrobe: leotards that are shorts. Firstly, sleeveless for the summer, and second, one-piece dressing. I am very pleased with the slight changes that I've made to jalie 3138... added 2 inches to the leg length to make them more like shorts, and a snap-closure for quick bathroom runs.
The first one, in a lycra swimsuit-type fabric; no changes except longer legs and snaps.

| Lycra stretch , with self-binding and snaps. |
The second one, with a little double ruffle and color-blocking in cotton knit... a little fancier!
 |
| Purple floral with a little skirtie. |
The shorts part fits great! I might redraft a little because they bag around the armhole, or maybe that's just me and finishing the armholes on a regular sewing machine rather than a serger. These are great because no elastic is needed.
Since she's dancing every day this summer, these will get a lot of use!
