Use your body measurements rather than your everyday clothing size. Mara Dancewear uses different sizing across leotards, ballet skirts and warm-up pants, so always check the chart for the garment you are choosing. If your measurements fall between sizes, consider the measurement most important for that garment and your preferred fit.
Mara Dancewear Leotard Size Chart
Use your chest, waist, hips and girth measurements to find your recommended Mara Dancewear leotard size.
| Measurement | XXS | XS | S | M | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | 78–82 cm 30"–32" | 82–86 cm 32"–34" | 86–90 cm 34"–36" | 90–94 cm 36"–38" | 94–98 cm 38"–40" | 98–102 cm 40"–42" |
| Waist | 58–62 cm 22"–23" | 62–66 cm 24"–25" | 66–70 cm 26"–27" | 70–74 cm 28"–29" | 74–78 cm 30"–31" | 78–82 cm 32"–33" |
| Hips | 84–88 cm 32"–34" | 88–92 cm 34"–36" | 92–96 cm 36"–38" | 96–100 cm 38"–40" | 100–104 cm 40"–42" | 104–108 cm 42"–44" |
| Girth | 125–132 cm 49"–52" | 132–139 cm 52"–55" | 139–146 cm 55"–58" | 146–153 cm 58"–61" | 153–160 cm 61"–64" | 167–174 cm 64"–67" |
For Mara leotards, girth is one of the most useful 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 may be more comfortable in the larger size.

How to Measure for Mara 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 the body to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. The dancer should stand naturally while being measured.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body. Keep the tape comfortably against the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and do not pull it too tightly.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around the body.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Mara Dancewear uses different size structures depending on the garment. For leotards, compare chest, waist, hips and especially girth. For skirts, waist and hips are the most useful measurements. For warm-up pants, use waist and hips together with Mara's height guidance to choose between XS/S and M/L.

Quiet Colour, Strong Silhouette
Soft, modern and beautifully understated, Mara Dancewear Aura in Light Nude lets the silhouette do the talking. The tonal shade brings out Aura's clean high neckline, functional front zip and ribbed texture, creating an almost second-skin look that feels refined, contemporary and distinctly different from traditional ballet pink.
Mara Dancewear Aura Light Nude Ballet Leotard - Design & Style
Aura is one of Mara Dancewear's defining designs, and Light Nude strips the silhouette back to its most beautifully understated form. Without a strong colour competing for attention, the ribbed texture, neckline and sculpted proportions become the focus.
The high neckline creates a clean line across the upper body, while the functional front zip gives dancers genuine flexibility in how Aura is worn. Zip it higher for a sharper, more streamlined silhouette or open it slightly to soften the neckline and reveal more of the collarbones.
Mara Dancewear's signature ribbed performance fabric sits closely against the body with supportive compression, excellent four-way stretch and strong shape recovery. The high-cut leg visually lengthens the lower body, while the open back brings lightness to the more structured front and beautifully reveals the shoulders and upper back.
Inside, Aura is fully lined for secure coverage and confidence - particularly important in a lighter colourway. The lining is exceptionally soft against the skin, while the combination of lining and substantial ribbed fabric gives Light Nude reassuring coverage despite its pale shade.

The Dance World Performance Profile compares the technical characteristics of our leotards, making it easier to compare styles across our collection. Ratings may vary depending on fabric, lining, construction and colourway. The profile shown reflects this specific Aura Light Nude leotard.
Studio Experience
Light Nude makes Aura feel almost sculptural in the studio. The neutral colour lets the body's line remain the focus, while the fine ribbed texture adds just enough definition to stop the leotard from disappearing against the skin.
More importantly, the pale colour doesn't make Aura feel delicate to wear. The full lining and substantial ribbed fabric provide reassuring coverage, while the soft interior and four-way stretch keep it comfortable through longer training sessions.
Dance World Notes
- The coverage impressed us. Light Nude may look delicate, but the full lining and substantial ribbed fabric give this pale colourway reassuring coverage on the body.
- The ribbing matters even more here. In such a quiet colour, the fine texture becomes part of the design and gives the surface subtle depth and definition.
- It's neutral without feeling basic. The high neckline, front zip and open back give Light Nude enough structure to make the understated colour feel intentional.
- The zip changes the mood instantly. Worn high it feels clean and architectural; slightly open, the same leotard becomes softer and more relaxed through the neckline.
- Soft doesn't only describe the colour. Mara Dancewear's exceptionally soft lining makes Aura surprisingly comfortable against the skin despite its supportive, compressive exterior.
Dance World Verdict
🤍 Modern Neutral Favourite
Aura Light Nude proves that a neutral leotard doesn't have to disappear. The tonal colour lets Aura's ribbing, zip and strong silhouette take centre stage, while excellent coverage and that beautifully soft lining make it far more practical for everyday studio wear than its delicate appearance might suggest.
Mara Dancewear Aura Light Nude Colour Story
Light Nude is Aura at its quietest - and perhaps its most contemporary.
Warm and understated, the shade sits closer to a modern ballet neutral than traditional pink. Against the clean lines of Aura, it creates a beautifully tonal effect where texture, shape and movement become more important than colour itself.
Traditional pink tights create a subtle tonal transition through the leg, while cream, ivory and soft neutral warm-ups keep the palette beautifully calm. For contrast, black layers transform Light Nude completely, bringing out the graphic high neckline and front zip.
Where Black feels strong and Deep Green feels rich, Light Nude is the Aura we'd choose for a softer, minimalist studio look that still has plenty of character.
