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.

Black Balletwear with a Crimson Pulse
The DellaLo Milano Svetlana DI Nero is a black embroidered ballet leotard with crimson floral tulle, elegant three-quarter sleeves, a sweetheart insert and a deep rounded open back. Handcrafted in Milan, this much-loved Icons Collection design combines the versatility of a black leotard with an upper body that feels altogether more expressive.
DellaLo Milano Svetlana DI Nero, Embroidered Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
Svetlana pairs a sleek Nero body with crimson embroidered tulle that sweeps across the shoulders, décolleté and sleeves. Against the deep black base, the floral embroidery appears particularly luminous, creating definition that remains visible both in the studio and from a distance.
A softly rounded neckline creates a composed classical frame, while the sweetheart-shaped insert underneath brings gentle definition to the front. The sheer three-quarter sleeves finish above the elbow, extending the upper line without making the leotard feel heavy or overly covered.
At the back, a deep rounded opening reveals the shoulder blades and naturally complements posture and port de bras. Flexible Italian stretch fabric keeps the body close and streamlined while allowing complete freedom through the torso and upper body.
Svetlana has no conventional front or back lining, helping it retain DellaLo’s exceptionally light and breathable studio feel. Coverage is strongest through the opaque black body and where the embroidered tulle overlaps the sweetheart insert, becoming intentionally lighter across the shoulders, sleeves and open back.
Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Svetlana
Customer-Favourite Contrast
Crimson floral embroidery brings warmth and dimension to the dependable black base without compromising its versatility.
Sweetheart Definition
The shaped insert gently defines the front beneath the sheer embroidered neckline without rigid construction.
Embroidered ¾ Sleeves
Light stretch tulle creates an elegant extended line while remaining flexible through the shoulders and arms.
Deep Open Back
The rounded back reveals the shoulder blades and gives port de bras a beautifully uninterrupted frame.
DellaLo Svetlana DI Nero Leotard Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile describes how this particular leotard fits, feels and performs in the studio. Individual fit and coverage may vary depending on body shape and preferred sizing.
Studio Experience
Svetlana Nero delivers the polish of a long-sleeved ballet leotard without the weight dancers may expect from a more covered style. The embroidered tulle flexes comfortably through port de bras, while its above-the-elbow length keeps the forearms completely free.
The black body feels secure and familiar in class, but the crimson embroidery prevents the leotard from disappearing into a sea of standard black styles. It is distinctive enough for auditions and performance photography, yet still beautifully practical for regular professional training.
Product Highlight
❤️ A Dance World Customer Favourite
This is one of those colour combinations customers respond to immediately. Svetlana Nero offers the dependability and flattering depth of a black ballet leotard, but the crimson embroidery gives it a richness that feels genuinely special. The contrast remains visible from across the studio and photographs particularly beautifully.
Dance World Tip: DellaLo leotards have a close Italian fit. Check the girth carefully and consider sizing up if you are between sizes or have a longer torso. The embroidered tulle is softer and more flexible than DellaLo’s firmer floral lace styles.
