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" |
| Hips | 88–96 cm 34"–38" | 96–104 cm 38"–42" | 90–102 cm 35"–40" |

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.

Clean, Strong and Entirely Studio Ready
The Mara Dancewear Aura Long Sleeve Total Black ballet leotard combines supportive ribbed fabric, a zip-front high neckline and a rounded open back. Matching black trim and zip keep the silhouette clean, while exceptionally soft full front lining adds comfort for everyday ballet class and rehearsal.
Mara Dancewear Aura Long Sleeve Total Black Ballet Leotard - Design & Performance
Designed for cooler studio days, rehearsals and focused technical work, the Aura Long Sleeve brings together sleeve coverage, supportive ribbed structure and a refined ballet fit. The long sleeves create a sleek, uninterrupted silhouette, while the close cut helps the leotard sit smoothly and securely through class.
The practical front zip makes the style especially versatile. Wear it fully closed for a crisp, high-neck finish, or open it slightly when you want a softer neckline and a little extra airflow. This flexibility helps Aura Long Sleeve move easily between warm-up, centre work and longer rehearsal sessions.
Made from Mara’s signature ribbed performance fabric, the outer layer combines 78% nylon and 22% elastane for a compressive, supportive feel with four-way stretch. The rib texture gives the leotard gentle structure and shape retention, helping it feel secure on the body while still allowing freedom to move.
Inside, the full front lining is exceptionally soft, adding comfort against the skin and extra confidence in class. The lining is made from 86% nylon and 14% elastane, balancing the firmer feel of the ribbed exterior. At the back, the rounded cut-out keeps the silhouette unmistakably Aura, while the all-black finish gives the entire design a more minimal, uninterrupted look. Made in Spain.
