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 Sculpting Support Follows the Dancer’s Line
The Ballet Rosa Esme leotard transforms a feminine V-front tank through sweeping compression panels that trace and define the torso. A low ruched V-back keeps the upper line beautifully open while the Vitalité construction creates a firm, supported feeling through the core.
Ballet Rosa Esme V-Back Compression Tank Leotard – Design & Performance
A softly gathered V-neckline creates gentle shape through the front, framed by fine contrast edging and supportive tank straps. The structured shoulder line feels more substantial than a camisole while still allowing the neck, collarbones and arms to remain visually open.
Curved side panels sweep inward through the waist, creating a sculpted silhouette while the active compression fabric provides targeted support around the torso and core. The colour-blocked construction follows the dancer’s natural proportions, giving Esme a clean technical identity without overwhelming its classical lines.
At the back, the straps flow into a low V finished with subtle ruching at its lowest point. This beautifully exposes the shoulder blades while adding softness to the dramatic back line. Full front lining provides reliable opacity, while the resilient stretch fabric and refined ballet-cut leg keep the design practical for demanding studio wear.
Why Dancers Love Esme
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
Esme feels smooth and firmly held through the waist and core, with the substantial tank straps settling comfortably across the shoulders as the arms move through port de bras. The sweeping side panels create a clear visual guide through the torso, while the low V-back allows the shoulder blades to remain beautifully visible. Correct girth is especially important because a fit that is too short may pull at the neckline or cause the lowest point of the back to sit higher than intended.
Vitalité – Compression with a Classical Point of View
Ballet Rosa developed the Vitalité Collection around active compression designed for the specific movement demands of ballet. Its targeted torso support is intended to help dancers feel securely held through the core while maintaining the stretch and mobility required for expansive choreography.
Ballet Rosa also positions the technical fabric as supporting warm-up, circulation and active recovery, with antibacterial and odour-control properties for demanding training schedules. Esme balances those performance-led qualities with soft ruching and graceful V-lines, making the collection’s technology feel distinctly elegant.
Product Highlight
⚡ Sculpted Core Favourite
Esme is an especially flattering introduction to the firmly supported feeling of the Vitalité Collection. Its gathered V-front, stable tank straps and sweeping compression panels shape the torso before flowing into a beautifully low V-back. It feels technical and reassuring without losing the softness dancers expect from an elegant ballet leotard.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Esme for dancers who want stronger torso support without choosing a high neckline or enclosed back. Its substantial straps feel secure during long rehearsals, while the contoured panels and low V-back give the silhouette enough presence for auditions and performance preparation.
Dance World Tip: Choose your usual Ballet Rosa size for the intended firm compression fit. If you are between sizes, have a longer torso or prefer gentler compression, consider the larger size. The front neckline should remain smooth, the straps should lie flat and the gathered V-back should sit naturally without pulling upwards.
