Re: How do you wash dance leotards etc?
I wash their leotards and tights in cold water, dry on low/med with their regular clothes. Sometimes I'll hang to dry but it doesn't really seem to make a difference. The elastic is fine, nothing seems to be stretched out or faded, to the extent that we can hand down leotards if needed. (I have three in ballet - they wear specific uniforms depending on their level. I can't tell the difference between this year's hot pink leotard and the one from three years ago except that this year's Pink Dancer needed a different size.) Tights fade from their original pink, but looking around the studio, that seems pretty inevitable because nobody is wearing "new" pink tights.
