Care information
When selecting dancewear, the most relevant measurement is the girth (also known as torso length). To measure accurately, start at one shoulder, pass the tape measure through the legs, and bring it back to the same shoulder. This ensures the best fit for leotards and unitards.

Women's Garments Size Chart
| Size | Bust (cm) | Waist (cm) | Hips (cm) | Girth (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 72 - 82 | 58 - 62 | 80 - 86 | 136 - 143 |
| S | 82 - 86 | 62 - 66 | 86 - 90 | 141 - 147 |
| M | 86 - 90 | 66 - 70 | 90 - 94 | 145 - 151 |
| L | 90 - 94 | 70 - 74 | 94 - 98 | 149 - 155 |
Size Up if in Doubt
If you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. A snug fit is essential, but dancewear should allow for flexibility and movement without restriction.
Fabric Differences Affect Fit
- Lace leotards tend to have a smaller fit due to the fabric’s reduced elasticity. If you are considering a lace leotard, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
- Tulle leotards offer a bit more stretch, making them slightly more forgiving in terms of sizing.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure the best fit and comfort for your dancewear. If you need further assistance, reach out for personalized advice.
