DellaLo creates balletwear with the discipline of a dance atelier and the eye of Italian fashion. Its designs are recognisable not because they repeat one shape, but because every seam, transparent panel and embroidered detail is placed to work with the dancer’s line.
Handcrafted in Milan
DellaLo garments are individually made and finished in the brand’s Milan atelier. Small variations in embroidery placement are a natural part of this handcrafted process.
Designed Around Movement
Necklines, seams and backs are developed to frame the shoulders, torso and épaulement while preserving the freedom required for ballet class, rehearsal and performance.
Refined Italian Fabrics
Smooth warp-knit performance fabric is combined with plain tulle, embroidered tulle and lace to create contrast, transparency and texture without heavy embellishment.
Light, Expressive Construction
Many DellaLo leotards avoid heavy padding and conventional lining. This creates the light, close-to-the-body feeling dancers associate with the brand, while making fabric, colour and coverage especially important considerations.
