Custom Short-Sleeve Leotards
ZipaSports manufactures custom short-sleeve leotards in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Ordered by ballet and jazz studios wanting more shoulder coverage than a camisole without the warmth of long sleeves.
Sleeves are set in rather than raglan-cut so the shoulder line reads clean in class and on stage, with flatlock seams that sit flat under a warm-up layer. The body is 260 GSM poly-spandex with a lined front and a bound leg line, and the sleeve hem is finished with a covered elastic so it does not ride up during port de bras. Cap, short and elbow-length sleeves all run off the same block.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.
