Ballet Rosa dancewear is designed for a close, professional ballet fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size. For leotards and unitards, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso. If you are between sizes or have a longer torso, the larger size is often the more comfortable starting point.

For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is the most useful measurement when sizes disagree. A dancer can have a small bust and waist but still need the next size because of torso length. If the girth is close to the upper limit, or the dancer has a longer torso, sizing up usually gives a more comfortable result without losing the close ballet silhouette.
How to Measure for Ballet Rosa Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Girth
Key MeasurementUsing a flexible tape measure, start at the centre of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Bust / Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the bust or chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body and comfortably close without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and do not pull it too tightly.
Hips
Stand with the feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat. Keep the tape straight and level around the body.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Ballet Rosa does not use height directly in this women and girls garment chart, but it is useful when considering overall body proportion and whether a longer-torso fit may be needed.
Ballet Rosa adult sizes correspond approximately to 36 = XS/Petite, 38 = Small, 40 = Medium, 42 = Large and 44 = XL. The garments are intended to fit closely, but torso length is particularly important in leotards. If the dancer has a longer torso or the girth sits near the top of a size range, consider the next size up. Ballet Rosa also notes that a Long Torso adjustment of approximately 2 cm / 1" can sometimes be appropriate.

Where Embroidery Frames a Dramatic Back
The Ballet Rosa Aly leotard balances romantic softness with an arrestingly open silhouette. Floral embroidery drifts across sheer half sleeves, while a softly shaped front turns to reveal an exceptionally deep V-back finished with delicate ruching.
Ballet Rosa Aly Embroidered Half Sleeve Leotard – Design & Performance
Aly begins with a gently curved sweetheart neckline that creates an elegant, open line across the collarbones. Sheer stretch mesh continues over the shoulders and into elbow-length sleeves, framing the arms without the heavier appearance of a solid half sleeve.
Floral embroidery is placed across the transparent sleeves to introduce texture and romantic detail while preserving their airy quality. The decorative motifs give the design dimension without distracting from the dancer’s natural line.
At the back, the silhouette falls into an exceptionally deep V that leaves the shoulder blades and spine beautifully exposed. A subtle pinched detail defines the lowest point of the back, while the smooth Matte Lycra body, full front lining and refined ballet-cut leg keep Aly practical and composed for studio wear.
Why Dancers Love Aly
Dance World Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Aly feels smooth and close through the bodice, while the stretch-mesh sleeves move lightly with the arms rather than creating the heavier sensation of a solid half sleeve. The extremely low back leaves the shoulder blades and spine open for épaulement and expressive movement, yet the sleeve line keeps the overall silhouette composed. Correct girth is especially important: a fit that is too short may pull at the neckline, sleeves or lowest point of the back.
Embroidered Transparency – Softness Around a Dramatic Line
Aly uses transparency with restraint. Delicate floral motifs sit over sheer mesh, bringing romantic detail to the upper body while leaving the solid torso clean and uninterrupted.
The dramatic low back provides a striking contrast to the sleeve coverage. This balance makes Aly distinctive enough for auditions, photographs and performance while its full front lining and comfortable stretch keep it ready for regular studio training.
Product Highlight
✦ Romantic Detail, Striking Back
Aly’s defining strength is the contrast between delicacy and openness. Its embroidered half sleeves frame the shoulders with romantic detail before the silhouette falls away into one of Ballet Rosa’s most dramatic low backs. It feels graceful from the front and unforgettable in motion.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Aly for dancers who want the elegance and arm coverage of a sleeved leotard without concealing the upper back. Its combination of floral embroidery, a soft sweetheart neckline and a plunging V-back feels distinctive without relying on a high neckline or elaborate fastening.
Dance World Tip: Choose your usual Ballet Rosa size, but consider the larger size if you are between sizes or have a longer torso. The sleeve seams should sit smoothly beneath the arms, the neckline should remain relaxed and the lowest point of the back should lie without tension. Handle the leotard by its solid body when dressing rather than pulling on the embroidered mesh sleeves.
