Size & Fit Advice

Overall Fit
DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close, professional ballet fit that follows the body's natural lines while allowing unrestricted movement.

Torso Length
Dancers with longer torsos or those between sizes may prefer sizing up for additional body length and comfort.

Upper Body
The embroidered stretch tulle provides light support while remaining breathable and flexible. The boat neckline offers elegant coverage across the shoulders, while the square back sits comfortably without restricting movement.

Model Fit Note
Minerva GL offers a beautifully balanced fit with softly structured shoulders and a refined upper body. Its square back gives the style a more contemporary feel than many traditional ballet leotards while maintaining excellent comfort throughout long training sessions.

Please note: Our sizing advice is intended as a guide. Individual fit depends on torso length, body proportions 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

Poetry in Mauve and Blue

The DellaLo Milano Minerva 2020 GL Magnete ballet leotard is a Golden Label Italian design with a nude illusion boat neckline, blue embroidered three-quarter sleeves, a satin-mauve body and a deep square open back. Blush tulle and bright blue floral embroidery create a poised contemporary colourway that frames the shoulders and upper torso while keeping the dancer’s line exceptionally clear.

DellaLo Milano Minerva 2020 GL Magnete, Three-Quarter Sleeve Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance

Minerva begins with a wide illusion neckline that rests lightly across the collarbones. The blush tulle almost disappears against the skin, giving the upper body a beautifully open appearance while preserving the elegant structure of a boat-neck design.

A broad embroidered tulle panel crosses the bodice, with bright blue floral motifs standing out against the softer Magnete palette. Matching embroidered sections finish the lightweight sleeves above the elbow, creating an almost bracelet-like effect around the arms.

The satin-mauve warp-knit body follows the torso in long, uninterrupted lines before opening into a deep square back. The embroidered band continues around the upper back, visually connecting the front and back without interrupting the leotard’s clean proportions.

Like many DellaLo designs, Minerva has no conventional front or back lining. This keeps the leotard exceptionally light and breathable, with the strongest coverage through the Magnete body and embroidered bodice panel and deliberate sheerness across the neckline, sleeves and open back.

Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Minerva

Nude Illusion Neckline

Fine blush tulle creates the appearance of an exceptionally open neckline while gently framing the shoulders.

Blue Floral Embroidery

Bright embroidered details bring definition and character to the sophisticated mauve-grey colour palette.

Above-Elbow Sleeves

Lightweight sleeves finish in embroidered bands above the elbow, leaving the lower arms completely free.

Deep Square Back

The open back reveals the shoulder blades while preserving the clean, architectural character of the design.

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the DellaLo Milano Minerva 2020 GL in Magnete specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.

Studio Experience

Minerva creates an almost strapless visual effect without leaving the shoulders completely bare. The illusion neckline keeps the embroidered bodice and sleeves connected, while the open back and lightweight construction allow the upper body to move freely through port de bras.

The blue embroidery remains clearly visible from the mirror or stage, making this colourway particularly effective for auditions, coaching, editorial work and lyrical or neoclassical repertoire. It feels decorative and memorable without relying on sequins, heavy lace or a bright base colour.

Product Highlight

🩵 The Floating Embroidery Effect

The cleverest part of Minerva is the negative space created by its nude tulle. From a distance, the embroidered bodice band and sleeve finishes appear almost suspended around the dancer, giving the leotard considerably more visual impact than its soft palette initially suggests.

Dance World Tip: The illusion tulle is intentionally sheer, and how closely it blends will vary with skin tone and studio lighting. Its purpose is to create visual lightness rather than disappear completely on every dancer.
