Gymnastics Games for Girls Dress Up Pro

You land on a gymnast standing at center screen against a gym floor, wearing a simple base leotard. The first decision is the leotard itself, since it covers the most area and everything else orbits around it. Tap an option and it appears on her right away, with the sparkle and cut changing per style. The category bar runs across the bottom or side depending on your screen, and each icon opens a horizontal strip of choices. It takes about a minute to get the hang of where everything lives.

The wardrobe is competition gear. Leotards come in long-sleeve, short-sleeve and tank cuts, in metallic fabrics, ombre dyes and rhinestone-heavy styles. You can add grips, warm-up jackets, team jackets for before the meet, and gymnastics slippers or bare feet. Hair options run from a slick competition bun to braids and half-up styles, plus bows, scrunchies and glitter clips. There is light makeup with a stage-ready blush and shimmer, and finishing touches like a chalk bucket, medals and ribbon awards. Layers work the way they do at a real meet, with the jacket zipping over the leotard and coming off for the routine look.

What this character creator does that most others skip is the before-and-after of a meet. You can build a warm-up look and a competition look on the same girl, so the round naturally becomes two outfits that belong together. When you finish, you save the final look as an image, medals and all.

Pick the leotard first and note its main color, then choose a bow or clip that repeats that color in a smaller dose. A slick bun reads as the more serious competition look if that is the vibe you want, while a braid softens the whole outfit. Skip the warm-up jacket if your leotard has heavy rhinestones, because the two compete.
