Size & Fit Advice

Overall Fit: DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close professional ballet fit that gently follows the body's natural lines while allowing complete freedom of movement.

Torso Length: Dancers with a longer torso or those who fall between sizes may find the larger size offers the most comfortable fit and additional body length.

Upper Body: The elegant high neckline creates a secure, refined fit across the shoulders and collarbones, while the lightweight stretch mesh sleeves move naturally with the arms without feeling restrictive.

Selene Fit Note: The embroidered high neckline and dramatic open back create a beautifully elongated upper-body silhouette while maintaining exceptional comfort throughout class and rehearsal. The lightweight embroidered mesh offers gentle structure without restricting movement, making Selene one of DellaLo Milano's most comfortable high-neck styles.

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

Description

A Study in Beautiful Proportion

The DellaLo Milano Selene CL Elisir is a high-neck ballet leotard with a rich Bordeaux body, black embroidered tulle, crimson floral detailing, three-quarter sleeves and a deep triangular open back. Handcrafted in Milan, this beautifully balanced design uses colour, transparency and carefully controlled proportions to create presence without excess.


DellaLo Milano Selene CL Elisir, High Neck Ballet Leotard  – Design & Performance

Elisir combines a deep wine-Bordeaux body with darker tulle and vivid crimson floral accents. The close relationship between these rich shades creates dimension rather than sharp contrast, allowing the embroidery to catch the light while the main body remains smooth and visually grounded.

The high neckline brings length and poise to the front of the leotard, framing the neck and shoulders with a clean, contemporary line. Embroidered tulle continues across the upper bodice and through the semi-sheer three-quarter sleeves, extending the silhouette without adding visual weight.

From behind, the fabric falls away into a deep triangular opening. Its strong geometric point draws the eye down the spine, while the secure neck fastening holds the upper line neatly in position through port de bras, turns and more expansive choreography.

Selene has no conventional front or back lining, preserving the light and breathable feel characteristic of DellaLo leotards. Coverage is strongest through the deep Bordeaux body and layered upper bodice, becoming intentionally lighter across the sheer sleeves and open back.


Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Selene

Beautifully Balanced Lines

The high front, extended sleeves and deep open back divide the silhouette into exceptionally pleasing proportions.

Rich Elisir Colour

Bordeaux fabric, dark tulle and crimson embroidery create depth with a confident theatrical edge.

Embroidered ¾ Sleeves

Light stretch tulle extends the arm line while allowing fluid, unrestricted movement through the shoulders.

Statement Triangle Back

The precisely shaped opening highlights the spine and creates a strong, memorable finish from behind.

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

Selene feels secure and composed through the neckline while remaining surprisingly light across the arms. The stretch-tulle sleeves move naturally through port de bras, avoiding the restrictive feeling sometimes associated with a more covered upper silhouette.

The proportions become especially effective in motion. The high front keeps the dancer’s line controlled and elongated, while the triangular back introduces openness exactly where it has the greatest visual impact. Elisir’s deep colour ensures those lines remain clear from across the studio.


Product Highlight

🔺 The Geometry Is the Design

Selene’s beauty comes from how carefully its visual weight is distributed. The high neckline balances the deep back, the three-quarter sleeves extend the upper line and the triangular point draws the eye down the spine. Nothing feels accidental, and the rich Elisir palette makes every proportion read particularly clearly.


Dance World Tip: The neck fastening and deep open back make torso length especially important. Check the girth carefully and consider the larger size if you are between sizes or have a longer torso.
