Size & Fit Advice

Diana CL has a close, professional DellaLo fit. Select your size using body measurements and pay particular attention to girth, as the deep back and wide upper panels need the correct torso length to remain securely positioned.

Choose your regular size for a precise second-skin fit. If between sizes, longer through the torso or preferring less tension through the shoulders, select the larger size.

The bateau neckline should lie smoothly across the upper chest, while the point of the V-back should remain flat against the body without pulling upwards or gaping.

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.

Best For: Classical ballet • Company class • Rehearsals • Auditions • Masterclasses • Competitions • Stage performance

Description

Bordeaux After Dark

The DellaLo Milano Diana CL Bordeaux bateau-neck ballet leotard layers a rich wine-red body beneath sheer black tulle and vivid crimson floral embroidery. Its composed sleeveless front opens into an exceptionally deep V-back, creating a sophisticated Italian silhouette with the drama of an evening gown.

DellaLo Milano Diana CL, Bateau-Neck Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance

A wide black bateau neckline runs cleanly across the collarbones, framed by broad shoulder panels that feel more architectural than conventional camisole straps. Fine sheer tulle reveals the upper chest before meeting a curved embroidered bodice, where crimson floral threads emerge against the dark base.

The smooth Bordeaux body begins beneath a softly angled upper seam, drawing the eye diagonally across the torso. From behind, broad black tulle panels sweep inwards from the shoulders and meet in an exceptionally deep V. A narrow embroidered section anchors the point above the waist, completing the transition from transparent black to opaque wine red.

Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Diana

Sheer Bateau Yoke

The wide neckline frames the collarbones while transparent black tulle introduces depth without adding visual weight.

Crimson Embroidery

Fine red floral motifs emerge from the dark bodice, connecting the black upper section with the Bordeaux body below.

Broad Shoulder Frame

Wide sleeveless panels create a confident upper line while leaving the arms completely free for port de bras.

Dramatic V-Back

Sweeping tulle panels plunge towards the waist, revealing the shoulder blades and creating Diana’s defining silhouette.

DellaLo Diana CL Wear Profile

Fit

Close and elongated through the body, with broad shoulder panels, a wide front neckline and an exceptionally open V-back

Feel

Smooth and flexible through the Bordeaux body, with airy black tulle and lightly textured embroidery across the upper section

Compression

Good through the opaque lower body and lighter through the tulle yoke, creating flexible rather than firm shaping

Support

Good – broad shoulder panels and the close embroidered bodice add stability, but the deep back is not intended to provide bra-style support

Coverage

Good through the dark Bordeaux body and embroidered bust, with an intentionally sheer upper chest and dramatically open back

Movement

Excellent – the sleeveless cut leaves the arms free, while the deep V-back allows unrestricted movement through the shoulders and upper spine

Lining

None – designed without conventional front or back lining to preserve DellaLo’s signature light, breathable construction

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Diana’s front coverage comes from the dark embroidered bodice and carefully positioned fabric layers rather than conventional internal lining.

Product Highlight

🍷 The Evening-Gown Back

Diana uses broad black tulle panels rather than fine straps to frame the open back. As they sweep towards the waist, they resemble the draped neckline of an evening dress, giving the leotard a genuine sense of occasion without crystals, shimmer or heavy decoration.
