*I also found this website All About Dance to be very reasonably priced and they also offer free shipping both ways to be sure you have a good fit.

Leotards
Pink Short Sleeve, For ages s 3-6
Lavender Short Sleeve, For ages 7-10
Black Short Sleeve or Cap Sleeve
For ages 11 and up

Pink Tights

Shoes
I really like the Bloch ballet slipper or the Theatricals Economy ballet slipper
For split soled I like the Capezio

Optional: Wrap Around Black Skirts or Pull On Skirt

*Sizing note for ballet slippers. Shoes should fit securely around foot, not too tight but not too loose.
Child sizes go up to about 2 and child size ballet slippers are real close to their street shoe size. Above 2.5 they would purchase in the adult section. Please see child conversion chart

Suggested Fitting:
Women order 2½-3 sizes smaller than street size
This information is shown as a guide only and not a guarantee. Actual fitting may vary.

Converting Child to Adult Sizes
First increase the child street shoe size by two. Then follow the suggested fitting for the adult shoe you are purchasing.
Child Street Size	Adult Street Size
1.0	3.0
1.5	3.5
2.0	4.0
2.5	4.5
3.0	5.0
3.5	5.5
4.0	6.0
4.5	6.5

*An example for sizing the child to adult. Your daughter wears a size 3 in big kids size so you would first convert that to adult women's street size making it a 5, then you would convert it down 2.5-3 sizes for the ballet sizing. So you would buy a a size 2 or 2 1/2 in women's ballet shoes.
