Size & Fit Advice

Overall Fit: DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close professional ballet fit that beautifully follows the body's natural lines.

Torso Length: Dancers with a longer torso or those between sizes may prefer sizing up for additional body length and comfort.

Upper Body: The embroidered stretch-tulle bodice and softly gathered front provide a supportive yet flexible fit, allowing complete freedom of movement while maintaining Ilizia GL's elegant, sculpted silhouette.

Ilizia GL Fit Note: The embroidered stretch tulle is soft, lightweight and offers more natural flexibility than DellaLo's floral lace styles, making Ilizia particularly comfortable through the shoulders and upper body. Dancers with broader shoulders, a fuller bust or a longer torso may still prefer sizing up when between sizes for additional comfort and body length.

Please note: Our sizing advice is intended as a guide. Individual fit depends on torso length, body proportions and personal preference.

Size & Fit Advice

DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close, professional ballet fit. Use your body measurements rather than your everyday clothing size. If your measurements fall between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for greater comfort and freedom of movement.

Dance World Measuring Guide

How to Measure for a DellaLo Milano Leotard

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.

Dance World Tip

For DellaLo Milano leotards, girth is one of the most important 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 will often be more comfortable in the larger size.

DellaLo Milano Fit Guidance

DellaLo Milano is designed for a refined, close-to-the-body ballet silhouette. Lace styles can feel slightly firmer because lace generally offers less stretch than embroidered mesh or microfibre constructions. If you are between sizes, have a longer torso, or prefer a little more room through the body, choosing the larger size is usually the better starting point.

Dance World Fit Note DellaLo Milano size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit may vary depending on body proportions, leotard design, fabric, stretch, compression and personal preference.

Description

Softly Gathered, Beautifully Expressive

The DellaLo Milano Ilizia GL Abano is a V-neck ballet leotard with a softly ruched front, embroidered puff sleeves and a deep V-shaped open back. Its mauve body, plum tulle and blush floral embroidery give this Golden Label design a romantic Italian character without compromising its light professional feel.

DellaLo Milano Ilizia GL Abano, Puff Sleeves Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance

Ilizia begins with a satin-finish mauve body, layered at the upper section with sheer plum-toned tulle embroidered in delicate blush floral motifs. The closely related colours create depth and softness without interrupting the dancer’s natural line.

Gentle ruching draws the V-neckline towards the centre of the bodice, introducing subtle shaping through the front. Short embroidered puff sleeves frame the shoulders with controlled volume, bringing a romantic finish while leaving the arms comfortably free.

From behind, the neckline falls into a deep V-shaped opening that reveals the shoulder blades and visually lengthens the upper body. The matching front and back shapes give Ilizia a beautifully balanced silhouette from every angle.

The lightweight stretch body follows the dancer closely with excellent flexibility and recovery. Ilizia has no conventional front or back lining; coverage and gentle structure are strongest through the ruched bodice and areas where embroidered tulle overlaps the main fabric.

Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Ilizia

Soft Front Shaping

Delicate ruching brings definition to the V-neckline without creating a rigid or heavily structured bodice.

Romantic Puff Sleeves

Light embroidered sleeves frame the shoulders with gentle volume while preserving freedom through the arms.

Deep V-Shaped Back

The open back highlights posture, épaulement and the expressive quality of every port de bras.

Layered Abano Colour

Mauve, plum and blush sit closely together, creating a rich tonal palette that remains soft and sophisticated.

The Dance World Wear Profile describes how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the DellaLo Ilizia GL Abano specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.

Studio Experience

Ilizia Abano has a romantic presence without feeling costume-like. The softly gathered neckline shapes the front, while the embroidered puff sleeves add just enough volume to make the shoulder line distinctive without interfering with movement.

The flexible stretch tulle feels more forgiving than firm floral lace, and the open V-back allows beautiful freedom through the upper body. Its mid-tone mauve base offers more visual reassurance than DellaLo’s palest colourways while retaining the lightness dancers value in the brand.

Product Highlight

🌸 A Puff Sleeve Made for the Studio

The volume is deliberately controlled rather than theatrical. Sheer embroidered tulle keeps the sleeve light, allowing it to soften the shoulder line and bring movement to the design without overwhelming the dancer’s proportions.

Dance World Tip: The embroidered tulle is flexible, but girth remains the most important measurement. Dancers between sizes, longer through the torso or fuller through the bust may prefer the larger size so the front ruching and deep V-back sit naturally.
