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.

A Sheer Dance Layer with Beautiful Freedom to Move
The Ballet Rosa Laetitia Mesh Footless Dance Leggings offer a lighter, more expressive alternative to traditional opaque leggings. Made entirely from four-way stretch mesh, they follow the dancer’s lines while creating a softly transparent finish from waist to ankle.
Wear them over a leotard, briefs or fitted dance shorts to experiment with coverage and contrast. Their rich Encre Blue colour brings depth to studio outfits while remaining easy to coordinate with classic ballet shades.
Ballet Rosa Laetitia Mesh Footless Dance Leggings – Design & Movement
Laetitia is constructed from four-way stretch mesh, allowing the fabric to extend both vertically and horizontally as the dancer bends, stretches and travels. The close silhouette follows the legs without the substantial feel of conventional dance leggings.
A simple elastic waistband keeps the design smooth and uncomplicated around the waist. The slim fit continues to the ankle, creating an elongated line while leaving the feet uncovered for ballet shoes, contemporary footwork or barefoot movement.
The mesh is intentionally semi-sheer. The colour and shape of the dancewear worn underneath will remain visible, making Laetitia ideal for creative layering rather than providing the opacity of standard leggings or tights.
Why You’ll Love the Ballet Rosa Laetitia Leggings
Sheer by Design – How to Wear Ballet Rosa Laetitia
Over a leotard: Layer Laetitia over a coordinating leotard for a continuous dancewear look. Choosing similar colours creates a tonal silhouette, while a contrasting leotard makes the transparency of the mesh more noticeable.
With dance briefs or fitted shorts: Add discreet coverage beneath the mesh while allowing the shape and movement of the leggings to remain visible. This works particularly well for contemporary choreography and styled rehearsal outfits.
With skirts and warm-up layers: The close ankle-length shape can sit beneath a short ballet skirt, knitted shorts or cropped warm-up piece without adding the visual weight of standard opaque leggings.
Product Highlight
💙 One Mesh Layer, Countless Studio Looks
Laetitia can transform familiar dancewear simply through layering. Wear the leggings over tonal pieces for a softly continuous silhouette or introduce contrast beneath the mesh to emphasise their transparency and movement. The footless ankle length keeps styling flexible from ballet shoes to barefoot contemporary work.
