Use your body measurements rather than your everyday clothing size. Mara Dancewear uses different sizing across leotards, ballet skirts and warm-up pants, so always check the chart for the garment you are choosing. If your measurements fall between sizes, consider the measurement most important for that garment and your preferred fit.
Mara Dancewear Leotard Size Chart
Use your chest, waist, hips and girth measurements to find your recommended Mara Dancewear leotard size.
| Measurement | XXS | XS | S | M | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | 78–82 cm 30"–32" | 82–86 cm 32"–34" | 86–90 cm 34"–36" | 90–94 cm 36"–38" | 94–98 cm 38"–40" | 98–102 cm 40"–42" |
| Waist | 58–62 cm 22"–23" | 62–66 cm 24"–25" | 66–70 cm 26"–27" | 70–74 cm 28"–29" | 74–78 cm 30"–31" | 78–82 cm 32"–33" |
| Hips | 84–88 cm 32"–34" | 88–92 cm 34"–36" | 92–96 cm 36"–38" | 96–100 cm 38"–40" | 100–104 cm 40"–42" | 104–108 cm 42"–44" |
| Girth | 125–132 cm 49"–52" | 132–139 cm 52"–55" | 139–146 cm 55"–58" | 146–153 cm 58"–61" | 153–160 cm 61"–64" | 167–174 cm 64"–67" |
For Mara leotards, girth is one of the most useful 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 may be more comfortable in the larger size.
Mara Dancewear Skirt Size Chart
Use your waist and hip measurements to find the most suitable Mara Dancewear ballet skirt size.
| Measurement | XS/S | M/L | One Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waist | 62–70 cm 24"–27" | 70–78 cm 28"–31" | 64–76 cm 25"–30" |
| Hips | 88–96 cm 34"–38" | 96–104 cm 38"–42" | 90–102 cm 35"–40" |

How to Measure for Mara 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 the body to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. The dancer should stand naturally while being measured.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body. Keep the tape comfortably against the body 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
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way 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.
Mara Dancewear uses different size structures depending on the garment. For leotards, compare chest, waist, hips and especially girth. For skirts, waist and hips are the most useful measurements. For warm-up pants, use waist and hips together with Mara's height guidance to choose between XS/S and M/L.

Ballet Pink, Beyond the Basics
The Mara Dancewear Alma Short Sleeve ballet leotard in Ballet Pink combines delicate cap sleeves, a scoop neckline and a deep scoop back with supportive ribbed fabric. Pale contrast trim and a curved underbust seam add definition, while exceptionally soft full front lining brings comfort to class and rehearsal.
Mara Dancewear Alma Short Sleeve Ballet Pink Leotard – Design & Performance
Alma Short Sleeve keeps the familiar curved lines of the Alma family in a lighter-looking cap-sleeve silhouette. The scoop neckline opens across the collarbones, while the sleeves sit gently over the tops of the shoulders. Pale binding follows the neckline and sleeve edges, giving the pink body a softly defined outline without adding decorative panels.
A curved underbust seam shapes the upper bodice, allowing the fine vertical ribbing to remain the focus through the torso. From behind, a deep rounded scoop leaves the shoulder blades visible, with pale trim tracing the opening and a small metallic Mara Dancewear emblem beneath it. The high-cut ballet leg completes the clean silhouette.
Made in Spain, the 78% nylon and 22% elastane ribbed fabric offers good compression and support with four-way stretch. It sits closely against the body with a reassuring held-in feel, giving the delicate-looking design a more structured character than its soft colour might suggest. The shorter sleeves leave most of the arms uncovered while retaining a little shoulder coverage.
Inside, the full front lining is exceptionally soft against the skin. Made from 86% nylon and 14% elastane, it balances the textured outer fabric with a comfortable inner surface and adds coverage beneath the pale Ballet Pink body. The lining covers the front rather than the entire garment; the deep scoop back remains open.
Why Dancers Love Mara Dancewear Alma Short Sleeve
Just a Little Sleeve
A lovely middle ground when you prefer your shoulders lightly covered but don't want fabric around the elbows or wrists. The cap sleeves keep the overall look delicate.
An Easy Ballet Palette
Pair Ballet Pink with tights and a simple skirt for a softly coordinated studio outfit. The pale edging adds a finishing detail without needing lace or embellishment.
Simple to Get Ready
The pull-on silhouette keeps dressing for class uncomplicated, with no zip to position or straps to adjust. The scoop neckline gives the neck and collarbones plenty of openness.
Soft Where It Counts
The exceptionally soft front lining is the detail you appreciate once the leotard is on, bringing comfort beneath the supportive ribbed exterior during regular studio wear.

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the Mara Dancewear Alma Short Sleeve Leotard in Ballet Pink specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Alma Short Sleeve offers a little shoulder coverage without the longer sleeves of the original Alma. It is a useful option for dancers who enjoy an open neckline and a simple pull-on fit, with good ribbed hold through the torso. The exceptionally soft front lining keeps the inner surface comfortable, making the combination as much about everyday wear as its classical appearance.
Mara Dancewear Alma Short Sleeve Ballet Pink Colour Story
This is balletcore through colour and shape rather than decoration. Pale pink, small cap sleeves and a softly curved neckline give Alma a particularly classical feel. The fine ribbing adds texture, while the light contrast edging keeps the neckline and back clearly defined without creating a strong colour break.
For a softly coordinated class outfit, pair it with ballet pink tights and an ivory or pale pink mesh skirt. Cream knitwear continues the gentle palette, while burgundy or charcoal warm-ups introduce a deeper contrast. The beauty of this colourway is how little styling it needs: the cap sleeves, curved seam and scoop back already give it a finished look.
