Use your body measurements rather than your everyday clothing size. Mara Dancewear uses different sizing across leotards, ballet skirts and warm-up pants, so always check the chart for the garment you are choosing. If your measurements fall between sizes, consider the measurement most important for that garment and your preferred fit.
Mara Dancewear Leotard Size Chart
Use your chest, waist, hips and girth measurements to find your recommended Mara Dancewear leotard size.
| Measurement | XXS | XS | S | M | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | 78–82 cm 30"–32" | 82–86 cm 32"–34" | 86–90 cm 34"–36" | 90–94 cm 36"–38" | 94–98 cm 38"–40" | 98–102 cm 40"–42" |
| Waist | 58–62 cm 22"–23" | 62–66 cm 24"–25" | 66–70 cm 26"–27" | 70–74 cm 28"–29" | 74–78 cm 30"–31" | 78–82 cm 32"–33" |
| Hips | 84–88 cm 32"–34" | 88–92 cm 34"–36" | 92–96 cm 36"–38" | 96–100 cm 38"–40" | 100–104 cm 40"–42" | 104–108 cm 42"–44" |
| Girth | 125–132 cm 49"–52" | 132–139 cm 52"–55" | 139–146 cm 55"–58" | 146–153 cm 58"–61" | 153–160 cm 61"–64" | 167–174 cm 64"–67" |
For Mara leotards, girth is one of the most useful measurements because it reflects the dancer's full torso length. If your measurements fall across different sizes, pay particular attention to girth. Dancers with a longer torso may be more comfortable in the larger size.
Mara Dancewear Skirt Size Chart
Use your waist and hip measurements to find the most suitable Mara Dancewear ballet skirt size.
| Measurement | XS/S | M/L | One Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waist | 62–70 cm 24"–27" | 70–78 cm 28"–31" | 64–76 cm 25"–30" |

How to Measure for Mara 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 the body to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. The dancer should stand naturally while being measured.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body. Keep the tape comfortably against the body 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
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way 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.
Mara Dancewear uses different size structures depending on the garment. For leotards, compare chest, waist, hips and especially girth. For skirts, waist and hips are the most useful measurements. For warm-up pants, use waist and hips together with Mara's height guidance to choose between XS/S and M/L.

Soft Neutrals, Classic Ballet Lines
The Mara Dancewear Alma Soft Brown ballet leotard pairs a scoop neckline and 3/4 sleeves with supportive ribbed fabric and an exceptionally soft front lining. Pale trim outlines the neckline and low scoop back, giving this muted brown studio staple a fresh finish for class and rehearsal.
Mara Dancewear Alma Soft Brown Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
Alma's appeal is in its carefully shaped lines. The scoop neckline opens across the collarbones, framed by pale contrast binding that stands out gently against Soft Brown. A curved seam beneath the bust adds subtle definition to the front, giving the single-colour design shape without gathering, lace or additional decoration.
The 3/4 sleeves offer coverage through the arms while leaving the wrists uncovered, with pale cuff edging continuing the neckline detail. From behind, a low rounded scoop opens across the shoulder blades. The contrast binding follows that curve, while a small metallic Mara Dancewear emblem sits discreetly beneath the opening. It is a classical ballet shape with just enough detail to feel individual.
Made in Spain, Alma uses 78% nylon and 22% elastane ribbed performance fabric. Fine vertical ribbing gives the surface texture, while supportive compression creates a close, gently sculpting feel through the torso. Four-way stretch allows the fabric to follow movement, with shape retention designed to maintain that close fit. A high-cut ballet leg completes the streamlined silhouette.
Inside, the exceptionally soft front lining provides a comfortable contrast to the supportive outer fabric. Its 86% nylon and 14% elastane composition adds a smooth inner layer and additional coverage through the front. The scoop back remains open, balancing the sleeve coverage without enclosing the entire upper body.
Why Dancers Love Mara Dancewear Alma
Just Enough Sleeve
A useful middle ground when a camisole feels too bare but you don't want a full-length sleeve. The 3/4 cut leaves the wrists clear through port de bras.
An Open Neckline
The scoop front keeps the neck and collarbones uncovered. A lovely option for dancers who enjoy ribbed support but prefer a simpler neckline without a collar or zip.
Quietly Defined Lines
The curved underbust seam and pale back edging give Soft Brown its character. Pair it with a simple skirt and let those small details remain the focus.
Comfort Underneath
The exceptionally soft front lining makes the supportive ribbed construction feel inviting against the skin — an important detail when choosing a leotard for regular studio wear.
Mara Dancewear Alma Leotard Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the Mara Dancewear Alma Leotard in Soft Brown specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Alma offers a useful balance for class: sleeve coverage without a collar or wrist-length cuff. The ribbed body gives reassuring hold during movement, while the soft front lining keeps the inner surface comfortable. It is a good option when you want more structure than a lightweight camisole but prefer an open neckline and a straightforward pull-on design.
Mara Dancewear Alma Soft Brown Colour Story
Soft Brown is all about texture and gentle contrast. The muted shade has a taupe-like character rather than the richness of dark chocolate, letting the fine ribbing create subtle light and shadow. Pale edging keeps the neckline and back looking fresh, while the curved seam adds definition without breaking up the colour.
Ballet pink tights make an easy classical pairing, and an ivory mesh skirt can pick up the pale trim without competing with it. Chocolate or burgundy warm-ups introduce a richer contrast; soft grey keeps the palette quieter. Where Alma Black feels crisp and Mist Green brings a cooler freshness, Soft Brown offers an earthy neutral that is easy to build a studio outfit around.
