In Silk White, the eye notices the floral pattern and the leotard feels romantic. In Black, the pattern disappears and the eye follows the curved bodice seam, boat neckline and open back instead. One is about texture; the other is about architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDance World Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The two colourways may not feel identical in the same size. Black mesh offers more flexibility, while Silk White lace has less stretch and can sit closer across the shoulders.
