Camisole Leotard, Elegant Empire Waist Ballet Style - ZOE PARADISE

The Yumiko ZOE leotard is an elegant camisole adaptation of the beloved Alicia style, combining refined ballet lines with soft colour-block detailing inspired by traditional Japanese kimono design. Created as an homage to Yumiko Takeshima’s heritage and her parents’ work as kimono makers in Japan, the ZOE blends minimalist sophistication with modern studio styling.

Featuring a graceful V-neckline, delicate camisole straps, and a striking empire waistband, this leotard creates beautifully elongated proportions while highlighting the waistline with subtle contrast colour blocking. The soft pastel palette combines luminous velvet-inspired texture across the bust with a smooth supportive body for an elevated and artistic studio look.

The clean open back and sleek silhouette allow complete freedom of movement while maintaining the refined aesthetic Yumiko is known for throughout class, rehearsal, and performance preparation.

How should a camisole ballet leotard fit?

A camisole ballet leotard should fit closely against the body to maintain clean lines while allowing unrestricted movement. The straps should sit securely without digging in, while the torso should feel smooth, supportive, and comfortable throughout movement.
