Astra Competition Leotard

The Astra Moreau 3/4-sleeve leotard is a replica of the Romanian team’s outfit, the one in which they won the gold medal. A top-of-the-range competition piece from the 26-27 collection, it combines a deep green with light turquoise sleeves and straps, entirely covered in Rainbow rhinestones. The design starts at the neckline, fans out across the bust, accentuates the waist and extends to the cuffs: the sparkle follows every movement under the spotlights. Its highly feminine cut flatters the figure and elongates the silhouette, creating an elegant look from the curtain call right through to the final performance.

Manufacturing

The Astra 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 garments heavily embellished with rhinestones. Rainbow rhinestones are set on the front, the waistband, the back and both sleeves, and a line of rhinestones runs along the crossed straps at the back. Such precision in the placement of the rhinestones is what distinguishes a competition piece from a standard training model.

Material and benefits

The Astra leotard is a high-quality garment that moulds to the body and flatters the figure. It is covered in a profusion of Rainbow rhinestones, distributed across the front, waistband, back and sleeves, for maximum sparkle under the spotlights. The three-quarter sleeves frame the movements without hindering them, whilst the criss-cross back lends an elegant and very feminine look. It retains its shape from the first bow to the final routine. These features make the Astra leotard the perfect choice for major events, where every visual detail counts just as much as technical performance.

Care instructions

Caring for the Astra Leotard follows the standard guidelines for Moreau competition garments, with particular attention paid to the rhinestone-embellished areas, which are extensive on this model. Here’s how to look after it:

• Wash the leotard in cold water, preferably by hand, to preserve the colours and the sparkle of the rhinestones.
• Never use fabric softener: it dulls the fibres and weakens the finishes.
• Avoid rubbing the rhinestone areas directly to prevent the decorative elements from coming loose.
• Leave to air dry flat; never tumble dry.
• Store the leotard flat, without folding it where the rhinestones are.

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