Care information
When selecting dancewear, the most relevant measurement is the girth (also known as torso length). To measure accurately, start at one shoulder, pass the tape measure through the legs, and bring it back to the same shoulder. This ensures the best fit for leotards and unitards.

Women's Garments Size Chart
| 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 |
Size Up if in Doubt
If you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. A snug fit is essential, but dancewear should allow for flexibility and movement without restriction.
Fabric Differences Affect Fit
- Lace leotards tend to have a smaller fit due to the fabric’s reduced elasticity. If you are considering a lace leotard, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
- Tulle leotards offer a bit more stretch, making them slightly more forgiving in terms of sizing.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure the best fit and comfort for your dancewear. If you need further assistance, reach out for personalized advice.

DellaLo Milano Iris GL Ballet Leotard - Romantic Lace with Refined Italian Precision
Romantic, luminous and exceptionally refined, the DellaLo Milano Iris GL Ballet Leotard in Bordeaux brings couture-inspired texture to a beautifully balanced professional silhouette. Part of the prestigious Golden Label Iconic Collection, Iris combines rich ruby tones, intricate floral lace and delicate embroidered detailing to create a leotard that feels graceful, distinctive and unmistakably Italian.
The satin-finish Bordeaux body is complemented by tone-on-tone floral viscose lace across the bodice, creating depth without interrupting the dancer’s natural lines. A contrasting embroidered tulle waistband introduces soft blush and icy-blue accents, gently defining the waist and adding a refined decorative finish.
Dance World Expert Advice
Iris GL is an excellent choice for dancers who want a statement leotard without relying on dramatic cut-outs or heavy embellishment. The floral lace creates rich texture across the upper body, while the clean tank neckline keeps the overall silhouette polished and beautifully balanced.
The embroidered waistband is one of the model’s strongest design features. It visually defines the waist and creates a graceful transition between the lace bodice and smooth Bordeaux body without adding bulk or restricting the torso.
The teardrop back reveals the shoulder blades and upper spine while maintaining secure coverage through the lace panels and hook fastening. This makes Iris particularly flattering during port de bras, arabesque and expressive upper-body movement.
Design & Performance Features
Elegant Tank Silhouette
The sleeveless tank design creates clean shoulder lines and unrestricted freedom through the arms, making Iris equally suitable for classical ballet technique, contemporary movement and performance work.
Floral Viscose-Lace Bodice
Intricate tone-on-tone floral lace brings depth and romantic texture to the bodice. Its rich ruby finish gives the leotard a luxurious appearance while maintaining a refined, professional aesthetic.
Embroidered Tulle Waistband
The delicate sheer waistband is embroidered with softly contrasting floral motifs, gently defining the waist and creating a couture-inspired transition between the upper bodice and lower body.
Teardrop Open Back
The elongated back opening frames the shoulder blades and spine, introducing lightness while enhancing posture and the expressive quality of every port de bras.
Secure Hook Closure
A discreet metal fastening at the upper back keeps the neckline securely positioned throughout turns, jumps and demanding rehearsal work.
Premium Italian Performance Fabric
The smooth Bordeaux body follows the dancer closely with excellent stretch and recovery, allowing complete freedom through pliés, extensions, pirouettes and grand allegro.
