Intermezzo dancewear is designed for a close, streamlined dance fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For leotards and other one-piece garments, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso.
Intermezzo Ladies Garments Size Chart
Compare chest, waist, hips and girth to find your recommended Intermezzo women's dancewear size.
| Size | Chest | Waist | Hips | Girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 76–81 cm 30–32" | 56–63 cm 22–26" | 84–89 cm 33–35" | 132–140 cm 52–55" |
| S | 82–87 cm 32–34" | 62–69 cm 24–27" | 89–94 cm 35–37" | 140–148 cm 55–58" |
| M | 88–91 cm 34–36" | 68–73 cm 26–29" | 94–99 cm 37–39" | 148–155 cm 58–61" |
| L | 92–98 cm 36–38" | 72–79 cm 28–31" | 99–105 cm 39–41" | 156–160 cm 61–63" |
| XL | 99–105 cm 38–42" | 78–87 cm 30–34" | 105–110 cm 41–43" | 159–165 cm 62–65" |
For Intermezzo leotards, prioritise girth if your measurements point to different sizes. A dancer may fit one size through the chest and waist but need the next size for comfortable torso length. If you are between sizes, the larger size is usually the better starting point.
How to Measure for Intermezzo Dancewear
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.

Girth
Key MeasurementUsing a flexible tape measure, start at the centre of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. For Intermezzo leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is not part of Intermezzo's women's garment size table, but it is useful when considering overall proportions and whether a dancer may need more length through the torso.
Intermezzo women's dancewear runs from XS through XL in the brand's main size guide, although individual styles may be offered in a smaller size range. Leotards should fit closely without restricting movement. Designs using lace, flocked tulle, mesh or structured neckline details can feel slightly different from simpler stretch styles, so use girth as the main reference and follow any product-specific Dance World fit advice where provided.

Romantic Lace, a Confident Ballet Silhouette
The Intermezzo Hope 31729 high neck lace leotard brings floral detail to a clean, fitted ballet shape. Contrast lace travels across the upper bodice, sleeves and back, framed by a plain collar and smooth Meryl body. Soft front lining and good support make it a comfortable choice for class and rehearsal, with enough detail to become the centrepiece of a performance outfit.
Intermezzo Hope Lace Leotard – Design & Performance
A high Meryl neckline neatly frames the sheer floral lace across the shoulders and upper chest. The pattern continues over the covered bust, creating depth within the front panel before meeting the plain lower body. Three-quarter sleeves carry the same floral detail below the elbows, leaving the wrists and hands free.
The sheer lace upper back gives the design an elegant finish from every angle. A central back zip runs down from the collar, opening the neckline for dressing and fastening it securely for wear. With a continuous lace panel across the upper back, Hope offers a framed, covered silhouette while keeping the fabric visibly sheer.
The Meryl® body contains 92% polyamide and 8% elastane, combining a soft touch with comfortable stretch and quick-drying properties. It gives the familiar gently compressive feel and good support of Intermezzo’s Meryl styles. Soft front lining adds comfort beneath the bodice, while the lace keeps the sleeves and upper panels light.
Why Dancers Love the Intermezzo Hope Leotard
Dance World Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Individual fit and feel may vary.
Hope Leotard – Studio Experience
Hope is easy to build an outfit around because the floral detail already gives the upper body a finished look. Pair it with a plain wrap skirt for class, or a tutu when you want a more formal ballet silhouette. Its soft Meryl body provides the familiar comfortable hold, while the three-quarter sleeves leave the wrists clear. When checking the fit, raise the arms, bend the elbows and turn the head to make sure the collar and lace sit comfortably throughout your movement.
Intermezzo Hope – Contrast Floral Lace in Black
The Black colourway gives Hope a versatile base, with contrast floral lace adding depth across the bodice, sleeves and back. The plain collar and lower body frame the pattern without extra embellishment. A simple black skirt creates a coordinated look, while a lighter ballet skirt brings out the romantic character of the lace.
Product Highlight – Floral Detail from Studio to Stage
✦ Lace That Completes the Look
A high neckline and floral sleeves can make even a simple rehearsal outfit feel special. Hope brings those details together in one leotard, with a smooth lower body that layers neatly beneath a skirt. From a quiet barre session to a carefully styled performance, its lace remains the defining detail.
A neat high collar, three-quarter floral sleeves and a sheer lace back give Hope its distinctive ballet elegance.
