Size & Fit Advice

Overall Fit
DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close, professional ballet fit that beautifully follows the body's natural lines. The premium Italian stretch fabrics create a smooth, sculpted silhouette while allowing complete freedom of movement throughout class, rehearsal and performance.

Torso Length
Dancers with a longer torso or those between sizes may prefer sizing up for additional body length and everyday comfort. This allows the leotard to maintain its elegant proportions while providing a little extra length through the body.

Upper Body
The embroidered stretch tulle across the shoulders and neckline creates a supportive couture-inspired feel while remaining flexible enough for unrestricted movement. The premium construction provides gentle structure without limiting mobility, allowing dancers to move naturally through every exercise.

Dafne GL Fit Note
The embroidered floral tulle offers a beautifully refined silhouette with a slightly more structured feel than plain stretch mesh styles. It comfortably follows the body's movement while maintaining the elegant shape of the neckline and sleeves. If you have broader shoulders, a fuller bust or a longer torso, choosing the larger size may provide a more comfortable fit when between sizes.

Please Note: Our sizing advice is intended as a guide. Individual fit depends on torso length, body proportions and personal preference. If you're unsure which size to choose, our Dance World fitting specialists are always happy to help.

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.

Description

Soft Colour, Atelier Detail

DellaLo Milano Dafne GL Charleston feels like a beautifully softened interpretation of a classical ballet leotard. Dusty rose, muted mauve and ivory embroidery create a romantic layered palette that is delicate without disappearing in the studio.

DellaLo Milano Dafne GL Charleston, Cap Sleeve Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance

Dafne combines a satin-finish dusty rose body with sheer mauve tulle embroidered in refined ivory floral motifs. The closely related tones blend softly together, while the lighter embroidery brings definition to the deep V-neckline and upper body.

Short sheer sleeves delicately frame the shoulders without covering the full arm. From behind, the deep open back finishes in a softly pinched V, drawing attention to the shoulder blades and creating an elongated line through the upper body.

The front uses two lightweight fabric layers rather than a separate conventional lining. This provides better opacity and gentle security through the main body while preserving the light, breathable feeling dancers value in DellaLo leotards.

Flexible stretch fabric follows the dancer naturally through class and rehearsal, while the embroidered tulle maintains the refined shape of the neckline and sleeves. Handcrafted in Milan, Dafne Charleston brings DellaLo’s Golden Label detailing into a silhouette that remains beautifully movement-focused.

Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Dafne

Layered Charleston Colour

Dusty rose, mauve and ivory create a sophisticated tonal palette with more depth than a single pale colour.

Beautifully Framed Shoulders

Soft embroidered cap sleeves add polish while keeping the arms freer than a long-sleeved design.

Light but Reassuring

The double-layer front improves coverage and provides gentle security without creating a heavy lined feeling.

Studio-to-Stage Presence

Intricate embroidery and a sculpted open back make Dafne distinctive enough for auditions, repertoire and performance-led rehearsals.

The Dance World Wear Profile describes how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the DellaLo Dafne GL Charleston specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.

Studio Experience

Dafne Charleston feels refined but never overly formal. Its lightweight body moves easily through class, while the short embroidered sleeves introduce the polished appearance of a sleeved leotard without enclosing the arms.

The double-layer front is especially valuable in this lighter colourway, providing reassuring coverage where it matters most. The open back and sheer upper details keep the overall effect airy, delicate and true to DellaLo’s beautifully light studio feel.

Product Highlight

🌸 A Colour Story Built in Layers

Charleston is not simply pale pink. The dusty rose body, mauve tulle and ivory floral embroidery sit closely together, allowing each tone to appear gradually as the dancer moves. It is romantic, but the muted palette keeps it sophisticated rather than overly sweet.

Dance World Tip: Use girth as the deciding measurement. The embroidered upper section feels slightly more structured than plain stretch mesh, so dancers between sizes, longer through the torso or broader through the shoulders may prefer the larger size.
