BODILE is an Australian ballet dancewear brand founded by Rebecca Morrice Williams, with its design studio in Perth. Its name combines “body” with Odile from Swan Lake, reflecting a connection to ballet that runs through the collection.
At Dance World, we were drawn to the way Bodile brings colour, texture and considered detailing into everyday studio dressing. Mesh introduces transparency, velvet adds depth, and contrasting panels give familiar ballet silhouettes a distinctive character.
Our selection brings together leotards and skirts that can be coordinated or mixed in your own way. Whether you prefer a softly tonal outfit or a more expressive combination, Bodile offers a fresh way to build your ballet wardrobe.
Bodile is known for ballet leotards and dancewear combining expressive colours, distinctive silhouettes and details such as sheer mesh, velvet and corset-style panelling.
Yes. Bodile was founded by Rebecca Morrice Williams and operates from a design studio in Perth, Western Australia. Manufacturing locations vary, so check individual product information for country-of-origin details.
Yes. Choose the neckline, coverage and skirt length you feel comfortable wearing. Check your ballet school’s dress code if your class requires a particular uniform.
Not automatically. Begin with current body measurements and pay particular attention to girth. The larger size may be more suitable if you fall between sizes, have a longer torso, are broader through the shoulders or are choosing a firmer lace or compression design.
Leotards and skirts are sold separately at Dance World. This allows you to choose the size and colour of each piece and combine different silhouettes.
Follow the garment’s care label. Bodile generally recommends a cool hand wash with mild detergent and drying in the shade. Avoid tumble drying, protect mesh from fingernail snags and avoid pulling on delicate panels when dressing.
