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.

Where a Clean Line Meets Abstract Expression
The Ballet Rosa Cezanne leotard is elegantly restrained from the front and unmistakably artistic from behind. A sleek V-neckline leads into a sheer mesh back, where sculptural piping traces an abstract portrait across the dancer’s line.
Ballet Rosa Cezanne V-Neck Mesh Back Leotard – Design & Performance
A minimalist V-neckline frames the collarbones and creates a naturally elongated front. The smooth tank construction follows the shoulders with more substance than a camisole strap, giving the upper body a clean and reassuringly settled shape.
The back becomes Cezanne’s focal point. A complete stretch-mesh panel creates a sheer canvas from shoulder to waist, outlined with contrast piping and finished with sculptural loops across the shoulders. A fluid line descends through the centre to form an abstract facial profile, transforming the dancer’s back into a work of moving art.
The Matte Lycra body provides a smooth, streamlined foundation beneath this expressive detailing. Full front lining offers dependable opacity and stability, while the responsive stretch construction and refined ballet-cut leg keep Cezanne practical for professional classes, auditions and performance.
Why Dancers Love Cezanne
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
Cezanne feels smooth and composed through the front, while the flexible mesh back follows the shoulder blades as the arms travel through port de bras and épaulement. Its tank construction provides a more contained sensation than Barrat’s fine crossing straps, yet the sheer panel keeps the upper body visually light. Correct girth helps the V-neckline remain smooth and prevents unnecessary tension through the mesh and sculptural piping.
La Cité – Fine Art Through the Dancer’s Back
Inspired by abstract art, Ballet Rosa’s La Cité Collection explores how line, space and form can transform a dance silhouette. Cezanne uses its mesh panel like a transparent canvas, allowing the dancer’s own back to become part of the finished composition.
The effect is expressive without overwhelming the leotard’s professional character. Paired with a simple ballet skirt or worn alone, Cezanne brings a gallery-like sense of artistry to rehearsals, auditions and the stage.
Product Highlight
✦ Gallery-Back Favourite
Cezanne is designed to reveal itself through movement. Its contrast piping flows across sheer mesh like an abstract drawing, tracing the shoulders before forming an artistic profile through the centre of the back. The simple front gives this exceptional detail exactly the space it needs to stand out.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Cezanne for dancers who love Barrat’s artistic concept but prefer the added stability of tank styling and a complete mesh back. It retains the same expressive La Cité spirit while providing a more contained upper-body feel for regular professional training.
Dance World Tip: Allow the artwork to remain the focus by pairing Cezanne with a simple ballet skirt and minimal warm-up layers. Handle the mesh and sculptural piping carefully when dressing, and avoid pulling directly on the decorative shoulder loops.
