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.

Description
Description
Architectural Balletwear, Softened by Tulle
The DellaLo Milano Pandia CL Preludio is a high-neck sleeveless ballet leotard in deep navy with blush illusion tulle, layered floral embroidery, sculpted waist panels and an oval open back. Handcrafted in Milan, this extraordinary design combines precise architectural lines with transparency and softness, creating a silhouette that reveals more detail with every look.
DellaLo Milano Pandia CL Preludio, High Neck Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
Pandia’s Preludio palette combines a deep navy body with soft blush tulle and tonal embroidered detailing. The darker foundation gives the leotard strength and definition, while the lighter transparent sections prevent its high neckline and structured design from feeling severe.
Across the upper body, DellaLo’s floral embroidered tulle is softly veiled beneath a second layer of plain tulle. This creates unusual visual depth: the embroidery appears slightly diffused rather than sitting directly on the surface, giving the neckline a subtle, almost atmospheric quality.
Contrasting piped trims intersect around the waist to form two precisely positioned side windows. Embroidered tulle appears through these panels, defining the waist and creating a sculpted effect through clever placement rather than firm compression or rigid internal structure.
From behind, a generously shaped oval opening reveals the upper and middle back while the secure neckline fastening keeps the high-neck silhouette in place. Pandia has no conventional front or back lining, although its layered tulle and overlapping design panels create additional coverage across selected areas.
Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Pandia
Preludio Contrast
Deep navy and soft blush create a sophisticated balance between strength, transparency and femininity.
Veiled Embroidery
Plain tulle rests over floral embroidery, creating depth and a beautifully softened layered effect.
Sculpted Side Windows
Intersecting piped lines reveal embroidered tulle at the waist and visually refine the silhouette.
Oval Open Back
The carefully framed opening introduces lightness behind the composed, high-neck front.
DellaLo Pandia CL Preludio 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
Pandia feels poised and secure from the front, but unexpectedly open and expressive from behind. The sleeveless cut leaves the shoulders completely free, while the high neckline creates a clean, elongated upper line that works beautifully in both classical and contemporary movement.
The layered fabric catches the eye differently as the dancer moves. From a distance, the waist appears clean and sculpted; closer inspection reveals the embroidery beneath the tulle and the precision of the intersecting trims. It is intricate without being visually overwhelming.
Product Highlight
✨ The Double-Take Leotard
There are not many garments that stop our models in the middle of a photo session, but Pandia was one of them :). It is the kind of leotard that makes you look in the mirror twice, first for the striking overall silhouette, and again to take in the veiled embroidery, sculpted waist windows and beautifully framed open back.
Dance World Tip: With a fitted high neckline and secure back fastening, torso length is especially important in Pandia. Check the girth carefully and consider the larger size if you are between sizes or have a longer torso.
