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 Detail Finds Its Colour
The DellaLo Milano Mania CL Charleston is a three-quarter sleeve ballet leotard with a dusty-mauve body, sculptural softly squared neckline, floral embroidered tulle and an elegant open back. Handcrafted in Milan, this beautifully balanced Classic Collection colourway allows Mania’s unusual neckline, softly gathered sleeves and delicate embroidery to work together in perfect harmony.
DellaLo Milano Mania CL Charleston, Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
Charleston brings together a soft dusty-mauve body, smoky translucent tulle, tonal floral embroidery and fine lilac piping. There is enough contrast to reveal every part of the construction, yet the closely related shades keep the overall effect romantic and beautifully composed.
The low neckline has a softly squared shape interrupted by a subtle angled detail. Contrasting piping traces this distinctive geometry across the collarbones, creating an upper line that feels contemporary without losing the elegance expected from a classical ballet leotard.
The three-quarter tulle sleeves gather gently close beneath the arms rather than at the shoulders. This unusual placement gives the fabric fluidity without introducing puffed volume, while embroidered cuff panels echo the floral detailing across the upper bodice.
At the back, sheer tulle and fine piping frame the open shape, with embroidery drawing the eye towards the waist. DellaLo’s warp-knit fabric, plain tulle and embroidered tulle remain exceptionally light and breathable without conventional front or back lining.
Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Mania
Perfectly Balanced Colour
Dusty mauve, smoky tulle and lilac accents provide enough contrast to reveal the design without overpowering it.
One-of-a-Kind Neckline
A softly squared shape with a subtle angled break creates a beautiful and immediately recognisable frame.
Underarm-Gathered Sleeves
Carefully placed gathers shape the tulle beneath the arms while leaving the shoulders clean and refined.
Embroidered Continuity
Floral details across the bodice and sleeve cuffs connect every part of the upper silhouette.
DellaLo Mania CL Charleston Leotard Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the DellaLo Mania CL Charleston specifically; individual fit, coverage and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Charleston allows Mania’s complicated upper-body construction to look remarkably effortless. The neckline remains crisp, the embroidery is clearly visible and the smoky sleeves soften the arms without hiding their line from a teacher or coach.
It is particularly beautiful through port de bras. The underarm gathers open gently as the arms rise, while the lilac piping holds the neckline and open back in one continuous, beautifully defined frame.
Product Highlight
💜 The Mania Colourway That Has Everything
Silver makes Mania ethereal and Vesuvio makes it dramatic; Charleston finds the perfect point between them. Its colour contrasts reveal the extraordinary neckline, gathered sleeves and floral embroidery clearly, while the dusty palette keeps the finished look soft, sophisticated and unmistakably Italian. For us, this is the colour combination that completes the design.
Dance World Tip: Mania’s shaped neckline and close sleeves make upper-body fit particularly important. If you are between sizes, have a longer torso, broader shoulders or fuller upper arms, the larger size will usually provide the most comfortable starting point.
