DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close, professional ballet fit. Use your body measurements rather than your everyday clothing size. If your measurements fall between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for greater comfort and freedom of movement.
DellaLo Milano Women's Size Chart
Use your bust, waist, hips and girth measurements as a starting point to find your recommended DellaLo Milano size.
| Size | Bust cm | Waist cm | Hips cm | Girth cm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 72 – 82 | 58 – 62 | 80 – 86 | 136 – 143 |
| S | 82 – 86 | 62 – 66 | 86 – 90 | 141 – 147 |
| M | 86 – 90 | 66 – 70 | 90 – 94 | 145 – 151 |
| L | 90 – 94 | 70 – 74 | 94 – 98 | 149 – 155 |
How to Measure for a DellaLo Milano Leotard
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.
For DellaLo Milano leotards, girth is one of the most important measurements because it reflects the dancer's full torso length. If your measurements fall across different sizes, pay particular attention to girth. Dancers with a longer torso will often be more comfortable in the larger size.
DellaLo Milano is designed for a refined, close-to-the-body ballet silhouette. Lace styles can feel slightly firmer because lace generally offers less stretch than embroidered mesh or microfibre constructions. If you are between sizes, have a longer torso, or prefer a little more room through the body, choosing the larger size is usually the better starting point.

When Every Line Comes Into Focus
The DellaLo Milano Minerva CL Vesuvio ballet leotard is a premium sleeveless Italian design defined by a high embroidered boat neckline, sculpting curved seams and a dramatic V-shaped open back. Graphite-grey performance fabric and smoky taupe tulle bring greater contrast to the Minerva silhouette, making each architectural line beautifully clear while preserving the exceptionally light, breathable feel associated with DellaLo.
DellaLo Milano Minerva CL Vesuvio, Boat Neckline Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
Minerva begins with a graceful boat neckline that travels widely across the collarbones, creating a poised and beautifully balanced upper line. Exclusive floral embroidered tulle softens the neckline without hiding its structure, bringing delicate Italian detail to an otherwise clean sleeveless silhouette.
Across the main body, curved vertical seams guide the eye through the torso and give the leotard its gently sculpted appearance. The dark graphite Vesuvio fabric makes these lines particularly effective: the construction creates definition without relying on heavy embellishment, shine or firm corsetry.
From behind, the neckline descends into a deep V that frames the shoulder blades and continues the pointed geometry established through the front panels. The open shape adds drama while allowing the back and shoulders to remain completely expressive through port de bras.
DellaLo combines premium warp-knit performance fabric with plain tulle and exclusive embroidered tulle. There is no conventional front or back lining, keeping the leotard exceptionally light and breathable. The dark main body provides more reassuring coverage than paler DellaLo colourways, while the neckline and open back remain intentionally sheer.
Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Minerva
Graphite Meets Smoke
Deep Vesuvio grey and smoky embroidered tulle create dimension while remaining sophisticated and easy to style.
Embroidery in Focus
The floral tulle introduces softness and Italian artistry without adding unnecessary weight to the upper body.
Sculpting Seamwork
Curved front panels visually lengthen and define the torso through thoughtful cut rather than rigid structure.
Dramatic V Back
The deeply shaped back frames the shoulder blades and gives the refined front silhouette an unexpected finish.
DellaLo Minerva CL Vesuvio Leotard Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the DellaLo Minerva CL Vesuvio specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Minerva feels refined without becoming precious or impractical. The wide neckline opens the collarbones, the sleeveless cut leaves the arms unrestricted and the close stretch body provides a flexible sense of support without the weight of additional lining.
Vesuvio is especially effective in professional class and coaching, where its dark base remains polished but the contrasting embroidery and seam placement offer considerably more definition than a plain studio leotard. The result feels distinctive at the mirror without distracting from the dancer’s own line.
Product Highlight
🩶 The Colourway That Reveals Minerva’s Architecture
Elisir makes Minerva feel rich and romantic; Vesuvio makes it beautifully architectural. The graphite body, smoky tulle and soft taupe embroidery separate every curved seam and neckline edge, allowing the construction to become part of the colour story. It offers the versatility of a dark studio leotard with far more dimension than traditional black.
Dance World Tip: Girth is particularly important in Minerva because it determines how comfortably the high front and deep V-back sit together. If you are between sizes or have a longer torso, the larger size will usually provide the better starting point.
