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 Elegant ¾ Sleeve Ballet Leotard with Embroidered Tulle
The DellaLo Milano Mania CL in Charleston is a refined Italian ballet leotard distinguished by its sculptural neckline, sheer three-quarter sleeves and beautifully embroidered bodice. Part of the Classic Collection, Mania combines delicate transparency with carefully placed colour contrasts to create a sophisticated silhouette for ballet class, rehearsals and auditions.
The Charleston colourway brings together a soft dusty mauve body, smoky tulle and tonal floral embroidery. A contrasting lilac trim traces the neckline and open back, adding definition without disturbing the leotard’s understated elegance. The result is romantic, contemporary and unmistakably DellaLo Milano.
Dance World Expert Advice
Mania is an excellent choice for dancers who want the elegance of sleeves without the visual weight of a fully covered upper body. The sheer three-quarter sleeves soften the shoulders and arms, while the squared neckline creates a beautifully open line across the collarbones.
The Charleston colourway is particularly flattering for dancers drawn to muted, refined tones. Its blend of dusty mauve, smoky mesh and delicate embroidery feels more distinctive than a traditional pink leotard while remaining subtle enough for everyday studio wear.
Design & Performance
The Mania silhouette is defined by its delicately structured neckline. A soft square shape frames the collarbones, while a fine sheer panel extends above the embroidered bodice to create lightness across the upper chest. Contrasting piping follows the neckline and helps preserve its clean, sculptural shape.
Three-quarter sleeves are crafted from lightweight stretch tulle, providing graceful coverage while allowing the arms to remain clearly visible to teachers and coaches. Small embroidered panels at the sleeve cuffs echo the floral bodice and give the design a beautifully finished appearance.
The embroidered front panel introduces texture without overpowering the silhouette. Tonal floral motifs flow across the smoky tulle, creating an elegant contrast against the softer Charleston body colour.
At the back, the neckline curves into a deep open shape that highlights the shoulders and upper back. A fine contrasting trim frames the opening, while the embroidered lower panel creates a flattering V-shaped visual line toward the waist.
The smooth stretch body sits close to the dancer and follows movement naturally through pliés, extensions, turns and port de bras. The overall construction feels decorative yet practical, making Mania suitable for both regular training and more formal studio occasions.
Why We Recommend It
The DellaLo Milano Mania CL Charleston offers an elegant alternative to both camisole and long-sleeve ballet leotards. Its three-quarter tulle sleeves provide graceful coverage, while the square neckline and open back keep the silhouette light and expressive.
We particularly recommend the Charleston colourway for dancers who enjoy soft, sophisticated shades with a contemporary edge. The muted mauve body, smoky embroidered tulle and lilac piping work together beautifully, creating a leotard that feels romantic without becoming overly traditional.
