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 Clean Geometry Meets an Open Back
The Ballet Rosa Daphne leotard brings a contemporary edge to the classical tank silhouette. Layered stretch mesh creates precise, architectural lines across the front, before wrapping over the shoulders to frame a beautifully broad and dramatically low back.
Ballet Rosa Daphne Mesh Front Tank Leotard – Design & Performance
Daphne’s solid bodice curves into a structured four-way stretch-mesh yoke, creating a refined balance of opacity and transparency. Diagonal mesh layers sweep inwards from the shoulders and meet a defined central seam, drawing the eye through the dancer’s upper-body line.
The wide tank shape gives the shoulders a secure, streamlined frame without restricting the arms. Fine piping follows the geometric panel work, adding clarity and dimension while preserving the clean, athletic character of the design.
The mesh continues around the shoulders and down the sides of a broad low V-back. A delicate pinch at its lowest point softly gathers the fabric and brings definition to the waist. Smooth Italian microfiber, full front lining and a traditional ballet-cut leg complete a leotard that feels polished, flexible and ready for demanding studio wear.
Why Dancers Love Daphne
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
Daphne feels smooth and secure through the torso, while the flexible mesh yoke moves naturally with the shoulders rather than holding them in a fixed position. Its exceptionally open back gives the shoulder blades and spine complete visual freedom during épaulement, ports de bras and expressive contemporary movement. The front lining keeps the bodice feeling dependable, and the wide shoulder placement provides more stability than a camisole-style strap.
Geometric Seamwork – A Modern Kind of Detail
Rather than relying on floral embroidery or lace, Daphne creates interest through direction and proportion. Overlapping mesh lines guide the eye towards the centre of the body, giving the upper bodice a sense of structure and precision.
The design becomes progressively more open as it moves towards the back. This contrast allows Daphne to look composed and athletic from the front, then unexpectedly dramatic when the dancer turns, an especially effective quality for auditions, photographs and choreography.
Product Highlight
✦ Precision Meets Freedom
Daphne uses its seamwork to celebrate the dancer’s natural geometry. The structured mesh front draws the eye inwards with controlled precision, while the broad ruched V-back opens the silhouette and allows the upper body to move freely. It feels modern, confident and distinctive without becoming overly decorative.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Daphne for dancers who like the security of wider tank shoulders but want something more expressive than a traditional scoop-neck leotard. Its graphic mesh detail feels contemporary and polished, while the low back gives it enough presence for auditions and performance.
Dance World Tip: Choose your usual Ballet Rosa size, but consider the larger size if you are between sizes or have a longer torso. The centre-front line should sit straight, the mesh should lie smoothly across the shoulders and the ruched point at the back should remain centred without tension.
