Size & Fit Advice

Overall Fit: DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close professional ballet fit that gently sculpts the body without restricting movement.

Torso Length: Dancers with a longer torso or those between sizes may find the larger size offers the most comfortable fit.

Sleeves: The lightweight stretch mesh sleeves are soft, flexible and designed to move naturally with the arms while maintaining their elegant shape.

Mania Fit Note: The asymmetric neckline sits beautifully across the collarbones while the illusion back comfortably follows the shoulders. The embroidered mesh provides gentle structure without feeling restrictive, making this one of the most comfortable long-sleeved styles in the collection.

Please note: Our sizing recommendations are intended as a guide. Individual fit depends on body shape, torso length and personal preference.

Size & Fit Advice

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.

Dance World Measuring Guide

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.

Dance World Tip

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 Fit Guidance

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.

Dance World Fit Note DellaLo Milano size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit may vary depending on body proportions, leotard design, fabric, stretch, compression and personal preference.

Description

A Neckline That Makes You Look Twice

The DellaLo Milano Mania CL Vesuvio is a luxury ballet leotard distinguished by its sculptural angled neckline, floral embroidered bodice and softly gathered three-quarter tulle sleeves. Handcrafted in Milan, its smoky Vesuvio palette and unexpected upper-body construction create one of the Classic Collection’s most individual silhouettes.

DellaLo Milano Mania CL Vesuvio, Asymmetric-Neck Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance

Mania begins with a low, geometric neckline outlined in contrasting piping. A subtle angled break interrupts the familiar rounded ballet line, giving the collarbones and upper body a beautifully modern frame without making the silhouette feel harsh.

The three-quarter tulle sleeves are equally distinctive. Rather than creating volume at the shoulder, the fine fabric gathers softly close beneath the arms. This unusual placement gives the sleeves shape and fluidity while allowing the shoulder line to remain clean and refined.

Across the upper bodice, DellaLo’s exclusive floral embroidered tulle introduces cool blue-grey highlights against the deeper Vesuvio tones. The smoky charcoal body grounds the sheer detailing, creating a rich alternative to black that remains polished enough for everyday professional class.

Lightweight warp-knit fabric, plain tulle and embroidered tulle move closely with the body without conventional front or back lining. This preserves DellaLo’s characteristic lightness and breathability, with the strongest coverage found where the bodice fabrics overlap.

Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Mania

Sculptural Angled Neckline

A low geometric line with a subtle angled break creates a neckline unlike the usual scoop, square or bateau.

Underarm-Gathered Sleeves

Soft gathering is positioned beneath the arms rather than at the shoulders, giving the tulle an unexpected flowing shape.

Embroidered Upper Bodice

Delicate floral embroidery adds light-catching texture while the tonal colour treatment keeps it sophisticated.

Deep Vesuvio Palette

Smoky charcoal, dusky tulle and cool embroidered accents create depth without the severity of solid black.

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the DellaLo Mania CL Vesuvio specifically; individual fit, coverage and feel may vary.

Studio Experience

Mania changes the familiar line of a sleeved ballet leotard in a particularly clever way. The neckline opens the collarbones, while the gathers beneath the arms allow the tulle to flow into the sleeves without adding conventional fullness around the shoulders.

The effect becomes most apparent in movement. As the arms lift, the sleeves reveal their softness and shape; when the arms lower, the deep Vesuvio palette and embroidered bodice create a composed, almost architectural silhouette.

Product Highlight

🌋 A Silhouette You Notice Twice

The neckline catches your attention first, but it is the sleeve construction that makes Mania genuinely unusual. Placing the gathers close beneath the arms subtly changes how the tulle falls, creating drama without a puffed shoulder or theatrical volume. It is a small design decision with a remarkably beautiful result.

Dance World Tip: Girth is particularly important in this design. A leotard that is too short through the torso may pull the low neckline and sleeve placement upwards. If you are between sizes or have a longer torso, the larger size is usually the better starting point.
