Intermezzo dancewear is designed for a close, streamlined dance fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For leotards and other one-piece garments, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso.
Intermezzo Ladies Garments Size Chart
Compare chest, waist, hips and girth to find your recommended Intermezzo women's dancewear size.
| Size | Chest | Waist | Hips | Girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 76–81 cm 30–32" | 56–63 cm 22–26" | 84–89 cm 33–35" | 132–140 cm 52–55" |
| S | 82–87 cm 32–34" | 62–69 cm 24–27" | 89–94 cm 35–37" | 140–148 cm 55–58" |
| M | 88–91 cm 34–36" | 68–73 cm 26–29" | 94–99 cm 37–39" | 148–155 cm 58–61" |
| L | 92–98 cm 36–38" | 72–79 cm 28–31" | 99–105 cm 39–41" | 156–160 cm 61–63" |
| XL | 99–105 cm 38–42" | 78–87 cm 30–34" | 105–110 cm 41–43" | 159–165 cm 62–65" |
For Intermezzo leotards, prioritise girth if your measurements point to different sizes. A dancer may fit one size through the chest and waist but need the next size for comfortable torso length. If you are between sizes, the larger size is usually the better starting point.
How to Measure for Intermezzo 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 Intermezzo leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is not part of Intermezzo's women's garment size table, but it is useful when considering overall proportions and whether a dancer may need more length through the torso.
Intermezzo women's dancewear runs from XS through XL in the brand's main size guide, although individual styles may be offered in a smaller size range. Leotards should fit closely without restricting movement. Designs using lace, flocked tulle, mesh or structured neckline details can feel slightly different from simpler stretch styles, so use girth as the main reference and follow any product-specific Dance World fit advice where provided.

Rich Burgundy, Soft Velvet, Beautiful Ballet Lines
The Intermezzo Idris 31746 short sleeve ballet leotard pairs a burgundy Meryl body with curved velvet side panels and softly trimmed boat necklines. Part of the Velour Collection, it brings subtle texture, a flattering waistline and full front soft lining to a comfortable design for ballet class and rehearsal.
Intermezzo Idris Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
The curved velvet side panels give Idris its distinctive shape. Sweeping from beneath the arms towards the waist, they frame the smooth centre of the bodice and draw the eye inwards. The contrast in texture creates a flattering, visually streamlined line through the torso, with a waist seam completing the outline.
Short sleeves and boat necklines at the front and back give the upper body a clean, classical frame. The back neckline sits lower, opening the line across the upper back. Velvet trim along the neckline and sleeve edges ties the details together, adding a soft finish that catches the light as you move.
A soft Meryl stretch body and full front soft lining make Idris comfortable against the skin. The smooth fabric follows the body closely, while the lined front offers reassuring coverage. Velvet is concentrated at the sides and edges, giving the leotard its rich texture while keeping the central bodice simple.
Why Dancers Love the Intermezzo Idris Leotard
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.
Idris Short Sleeve Leotard – Studio Experience
At Dance World, we particularly like how the velvet placement brings definition to this design. The curved panels give the waist a beautifully framed appearance, while the broad neckline balances the close fit through the torso. It feels soft, supportive and easy to wear, making Idris a lovely choice for dancers who want a polished studio look with everyday comfort.
Intermezzo Velour Collection – Burgundy with Depth
The Velour Collection revisits classic ballet silhouettes through soft velvet textures and the warmth of burgundy. In Idris, the smooth Meryl and plush side panels give the same colour different depths as they catch the light. The effect is understated and autumnal, pairing beautifully with pale pink ballet tights or a simple black skirt.
