A
leotard is a unisex skin-tight one-piece garment that covers the torso but leaves the legs free. It was made famous by the French acrobatic performer Jules Léotard (1842–1870)
By the late 1970s leotards had become common both as exercise and street wear, popularized by the disco
craze, and aerobic fashion craze of the time. These leotards were produced in a variety of nylon and spandex
materials, as well as the more traditional cotton previously used for uni-colored leotards and tights. Exercise videos by celebrities such as Jane Fonda
also did much to popularize the garment.
