Ballet Rosa dancewear is designed for a close, professional ballet fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size. For leotards and unitards, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso. If you are between sizes or have a longer torso, the larger size is often the more comfortable starting point.
Ballet Rosa Ladies Garments Size Chart
Compare bust, waist, hips and girth to find your recommended Ballet Rosa adult size.

For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is the most useful measurement when sizes disagree. A dancer can have a small bust and waist but still need the next size because of torso length. If the girth is close to the upper limit, or the dancer has a longer torso, sizing up usually gives a more comfortable result without losing the close ballet silhouette.
How to Measure for Ballet Rosa 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 Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Bust / Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the bust or chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body and comfortably close 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
Stand with the feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat. Keep the tape straight and level 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.
Ballet Rosa does not use height directly in this women and girls garment chart, but it is useful when considering overall body proportion and whether a longer-torso fit may be needed.
Ballet Rosa adult sizes correspond approximately to 36 = XS/Petite, 38 = Small, 40 = Medium, 42 = Large and 44 = XL. The garments are intended to fit closely, but torso length is particularly important in leotards. If the dancer has a longer torso or the girth sits near the top of a size range, consider the next size up. Ballet Rosa also notes that a Long Torso adjustment of approximately 2 cm / 1" can sometimes be appropriate.

Where Floral Velvet Frames a Ballet Classic
The Ballet Rosa Arlette leotard brings romantic texture to a beautifully shaped cap-sleeve silhouette. Floral velvet flock sweeps across transparent mesh, while a double sweetheart illusion and dramatic open back make every angle feel thoughtfully composed.
Ballet Rosa Arlette Cap Sleeve Leotard – Design & Performance
Arlette begins with a softly rounded crew neckline and delicate stretch-mesh cap sleeves. Two flowing curves create its distinctive double sweetheart effect, layering transparent mesh between the shaped Microfiber bodice and the floral upper yoke.
A velvet flock botanical motif travels across the neckline and shoulders, adding softly raised texture without the weight of an additional lace layer. The floral placement gives this ballet leotard an artistic finish while allowing the clean Microfiber body to remain smooth, streamlined and easy to wear.
The back reveals a large open keyhole framed by transparent stretch mesh and finished with a discreet fastening at the nape. Full front lining provides useful opacity and stability, while the flexible body and refined ballet-cut leg keep Arlette practical for regular training as well as auditions and performance.
Why Dancers Love the Ballet Rosa Arlette Leotard
Ballet Rosa Arlette Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Arlette feels smooth and comfortably held through the lined bodice, while the stretch-mesh neckline and cap sleeves keep the upper body visually light. The shaped front remains composed during barre and centre work, and the open keyhole back becomes especially striking through turns and port de bras. Correct girth helps the double sweetheart lines remain symmetrical and prevents unnecessary tension through the mesh or nape fastening.
The Versailles Collection – Romance with Structure
Ballet Rosa’s Versailles Collection brings ornamental detail to silhouettes shaped with careful precision. In Arlette, floral velvet is arranged across transparent mesh, while the double sweetheart curves give that decoration a clear architectural framework.
The open back continues the same idea from another angle. Instead of simple symmetry, mesh and negative space work together to create a design that feels romantic, unexpected and recognisably Ballet Rosa.
Product Highlight
❦ Versailles in Bloom
Arlette feels like a floral design drawn directly across the dancer’s shoulders. The layered sweetheart curves, softly raised velvet flowers and beautifully framed open back turn a familiar cap-sleeve leotard into something graceful, distinctive and memorable.
Why We Recommend It
Arlette gives dancers the delicacy of a sheer floral leotard with the secure feeling of a fitted, fully lined Microfiber bodice. It is expressive enough for special occasions but remains comfortable and practical for regular studio wear.
