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.

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.

Description
A Lace Back Designed Like a Work of Art
The Ballet Rosa Esther leotard brings refined simplicity to the front before revealing an extraordinarily detailed lace back. Its softly pinched V-neckline creates an elegant classical line, while mirrored floral lace and a central zip give the back its unmistakable couture character.
Ballet Rosa Esther Zip Back Leotard – Design & Performance
Esther begins with a clean V-neckline, gently gathered at the centre to soften and shape the front. Wide tank straps sit securely over the shoulders, while a subtle seam beneath the bust adds definition without interrupting the smooth line of the Matte Lycra body.
The back is the true focus. Hand-cut Austrian-made lace is arranged symmetrically over transparent stretch mesh, allowing the floral pattern to frame the shoulder blades and follow the curve of the low teardrop opening. A concealed central zip runs through the lace panel, keeping the neckline secure while becoming part of the design’s strong vertical line.
Full front lining provides reliable opacity and stability through the bodice. Integrated pockets also allow optional bra pads to be added when preferred, although pads are not included. A traditional ballet-cut leg completes the silhouette, keeping Esther elegant, practical and beautifully proportioned.
Why Dancers Love Esther
Dance World 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
Esther feels smooth, composed and comfortably close through the front, while the sleeveless cut leaves the arms completely free for port de bras. The stretch lace follows the upper back without creating a heavy or restrictive panel, and the central zip helps maintain its beautifully symmetrical position. Correct girth is particularly important because a fit that is too short may pull on the shoulders, raise the neckline or place unnecessary tension around the lace and zip.
The Autriche Collection – Symmetry in Lace
Esther belongs to Ballet Rosa’s Autriche Collection, a range shaped around the refinement of Austrian-made lace. Here, two mirrored sections are carefully positioned to create a balanced floral design rather than a simple decorative insert.
The result feels almost costume-like in its detail, yet the uncluttered front and flexible Matte Lycra keep Esther suitable for regular studio use. It is a particularly beautiful choice when the back of the leotard will be visible in photographs, auditions or choreography.
Product Highlight
✦ Lacework in Perfect Balance
Esther demonstrates how dramatic detail can still feel timeless. Its mirrored Austrian lace transforms the entire back into a symmetrical floral composition, with the central zip creating a beautifully defined finishing line. From the front it is poised and understated; from the back it is unmistakably special.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Esther for dancers who love a statement back but prefer a clean, classical neckline at the front. The wide tank straps, secure zip and full front lining make it feel more composed than many highly decorative open-back designs, while the optional pad pockets add useful versatility.
Dance World Tip: Choose your usual Ballet Rosa size, but consider the larger size if you are between sizes or have a longer torso. Close the zip gently while the leotard is sitting correctly on the shoulders, and avoid pulling directly on the lace when dressing or undressing.
