The Facette Blue Leotard is by Moreau Sport, a French brand founded in 1984 in the Rhône Valley. Each competition model is designed and developed in France, then manufactured in our long-established workshops in Tunisia, where our teams have for decades mastered the assembly techniques specific to rhinestone-embellished garments. The transition from the sublimated gradient to the fishnet mesh requires precise cutting to ensure that the seam between the two fabrics remains invisible once the leotard is worn. It is this level of finish that distinguishes a competition garment from a standard training model, with every panel undergoing quality control before dispatch.

The Facette Blue Leotard combines a matt sublimated Lycra base with a sequinned and rhinestone-embellished fishnet panel at the centre of the bust. Sublimation printing creates a deep, crisp and long-lasting gradient of blue that does not crack or fade wash after wash, unlike conventional printing. The mesh fabric catches the light under the spotlights, whilst the matt finish of the rest of the leotard maintains a understated, structured look that highlights the design rather than drowning it out with glare. The sleeveless cut leaves the shoulders completely free, a real advantage for wide arm movements during competition. The leotard remains stretchy and breathable, ensuring a reliable fit from the first bow to the final tumbling element. This combination of materials makes the Facette Blue Leotard equally suited to scored routines as it is to galas or club demonstrations – wherever visual appeal matters just as much as technical performance.

Caring for the Facette Blue Leotard follows the standard guidelines for Moreau competition garments, with particular attention paid to the rhinestone-embellished areas. Here’s how to look after it:

• Wash the leotard in cold water, preferably by hand, to preserve the colour gradient and the lustre of the mesh fabric.
• Never use fabric softener: it dulls the fibres and weakens the finishes.
• Avoid rubbing the rhinestone-embellished area directly to prevent the decorative elements from coming loose.
• Leave to air-dry flat; never tumble dry.
• Store the leotard flat, without folding it at the fishnet fabric.

These simple steps, carried out after every competition or gala, will help the Facette design retain its full lustre season after season.
