Bodile women's sizing uses overlapping size ranges from XXS/XS through L/XL. For the most reliable fit, compare your bust, waist, hip and torso-length measurements rather than converting directly from everyday clothing size. For leotards, torso length is particularly useful when deciding between two overlapping sizes.
Bodile Ladies Dancewear Size Chart
Compare bust, waist, hips and torso length to find your best starting size. Bodile sizes intentionally overlap, so more than one size may suit some body measurements.
| Bodile Size | Bust | Waist | Hips | Torso Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XXS/XS | 70–80 cm 27.5–31.5" | 55–65 cm 21.5–25.5" | 75–85 cm 29.5–33.5" | 52.5–57.5 cm Approx. 20.5–22.5" |
| XS/S | 75–85 cm 29.5–33.5" | 60–70 cm 23.5–27.5" | 80–90 cm 31.5–35.5" | 55–60 cm 21.5–23.5" |
| S/M | 80–90 cm 31.5–35.5" | 65–75 cm 25.5–29.5" | 85–95 cm 33.5–37.5" | 57.5–62.5 cm 22.5–24.5" |
| M/L | 85–95 cm 33.5–37.5" | 70–80 cm 27.5–31.5" | 90–100 cm 35.5–39.5" | 60–65 cm 23.5–25.5" |
| L/XL | 90–100 cm 35.5–39.5" | 75–85 cm 29.5–33.5" | 95–105 cm 37.5–41.5" | 62.5–67.5 cm 24.5–26.5" |
Bodile's size ranges intentionally overlap. If your bust, waist or hips comfortably fit two sizes, use torso length as an important deciding measurement for leotards. A longer torso may feel more comfortable in the larger overlapping size, while a shorter torso may suit the smaller option.
How to Measure for Bodile Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting dancewear using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Torso Length
Key Leotard MeasurementFollow Bodile's measuring diagram and measure the length of the torso vertically down the body. Keep the tape straight and close to the body without pulling it tight.
Bodile calls this measurement Torso Length. It should not be substituted with the full shoulder-through-crotch girth loop commonly used by some other dancewear brands.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape straight and level around the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is not included in Bodile's women's size table, but it can be useful when considering overall body proportions alongside torso length.
Bodile women's sizes are intentionally grouped into overlapping ranges: XXS/XS, XS/S, S/M, M/L and L/XL. This gives dancers flexibility when choosing their preferred fit. Use all four published body measurements together, with torso length particularly useful for fitted leotards. Where two sizes overlap, consider both body length and how close you prefer your dancewear to feel.

Classic Black, Beautifully Composed
The Bodile Saskia Black 3/4 sleeve ballet leotard from the Signature collection brings a refined feel to a familiar studio colour. Its square neckline, softly sheer sleeves and open back create an elegant silhouette that needs little styling. Wear it simply with ballet tights to let the design speak for itself.
Bodile Saskia Black Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
A square neckline and smooth front keep the shape clearly defined. Black BODILE elastic frames the shoulders and large open back, while smoky sheer SUPRABLIME® mesh sleeves finish at three-quarter length. A gold metal neck clasp and small back emblem add subtle finishing details.
The main body uses LEOPREME® - 80% nylon and 20% Lycra, with a soft-touch, demi-matte finish. Four-way stretch, shape retention, pilling resistance and moisture-wicking properties make it a practical choice for regular studio wear.
The body is unlined for a lightweight feel. A separate built-in underbust panel has supportive elastic and self-fabric lining, adding support beneath the bust without lining the whole body.
Australian-designed Saskia is finished with a classic ballet leg line and 100% cotton gusset. The contrast between its smooth body, sheer sleeves and open back gives this black ballet leotard its distinctive character.
Why Dancers Love Bodile Saskia
A Complete Look on Its Own
The square front and open back provide enough interest to keep the outfit simple. Ballet tights are all you need to complete the look.
Black With Soft Contrast
Smoky sheer sleeves bring a lighter texture to the smooth black body, creating depth within an understated palette.
A Considered Audition Option
Classic black and a clearly framed neckline make an elegant choice for auditions where sheer sleeves and open backs are permitted.
Lightness With Support
An unlined body keeps the construction light, with support concentrated in the separate self-lined underbust panel and elastic.
Bodile Saskia Leotard Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the Bodile Saskia Leotard in Black specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
For a composed class or coaching outfit, pair Saskia Black with your usual ballet tights and a neat bun. Leaving the waist free of a skirt keeps the silhouette uninterrupted, while the sleeves and back provide the detail. A plain wrap layer is an easy addition for the journey into the studio or between sessions.
Bodile Saskia Black Colour Story
Smooth Black LEOPREME® Body
A demi-matte finish gives the black body a soft appearance. The clean front lets the square neckline and shape remain the focus.
Smoky Sheer Mesh
The sleeves appear lighter where skin shows through, introducing a gentle charcoal effect alongside the deeper body. This tonal contrast makes an all-black design feel considered.
Black Elastic & Gold Accents
Branded elastic continues the dark palette around the shoulders and back. The small gold clasp and emblem add a warm accent, easy to coordinate with cream, grey or black warm-up layers.
Explore Similar Bodile Styles
