My first leotard experience was about 10 years ago, when I bought my first black lycra/cotton leotard in a local dance shop after continuous searching for it.
But, as I love a look of 80's style and didn't ever try pantyhose/tights, I tried it over my black shiny leggings. That gave me feeling of lycra that covered almost entire my body: what a fantastic feeling that combo gave to me!
After discovering such a beautiful and affordable leotard models which Leohex offers, I ordered a one for a test, just to feel a 'true'-spandex (without any cotton) leotard on myself.
It is shiny-blue with the gray stripes and three red lines on each of its sides of body and sleeves (I think, it's just a replica of one of the Realise models).
Just after I received my parcel with it, I tried it, and it was almost impossible to get in due to its back zipper (at that time it was very unusual to me, but I have enough trained flexibility though).
For now, it's one of my favourite leotards which I have in my little collection of lycra stuff.
