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.

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.

Your Everyday Black, with a Softer Finish
A black leotard with just enough detail to feel special. Mara Dancewear Brisa in Black pairs a gently pinched V neckline with blush-toned contrast trim and a beautifully low scoop back. Smooth stretch fabric and an exceptionally soft front lining make the appeal as much about comfort as clean ballet lines.
Mara Dancewear Brisa Black Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
Brisa keeps the silhouette uncomplicated, allowing a few thoughtful details to do the work. The V neckline is softened by a small centre pinch, giving the front a distinctly classical finish. Wide, fixed shoulder straps frame the upper body without the fine straps or adjustment hardware of a camisole.
Against the black body, the pale contrast trim gently outlines the neckline, shoulders and back. From behind, it follows a deep rounded scoop, leaving the shoulder blades visible and drawing attention to the back's clean curve. A small metallic Mara Dancewear emblem adds a discreet finishing touch beneath the opening.
Made in Spain, Brisa uses 80% nylon and 20% elastane in a smooth soft-touch fabric rather than the textured rib of styles such as Aura and Cala. Breathable four-way stretch follows the body with moderate compression, offering a comfortable, gently held feel rather than firm sculpting. The high-cut leg completes the streamlined ballet silhouette.
The full front lining is exceptionally soft against the skin, with an 86% nylon and 14% elastane composition. It adds comfort and reassuring coverage through the front without lining the entire garment. Together with the black outer fabric, it makes Brisa a dependable choice for dancers who value both a soft interior and strong fabric opacity.
Why Dancers Love Mara Dancewear Brisa
Softly Pinched V Neck
A small centre gather gives Brisa its classical ballet finish, while the pale trim softens the neckline against Black.
Comfortable Wide Straps
The fixed tank straps offer more shoulder coverage than a fine camisole, keeping the upper fit simple without sliders to adjust.
Beautifully Open Back
The low rounded scoop makes the back just as considered as the front. Contrast edging highlights the curve without adding extra decoration.
Softness Against the Skin
The exceptionally soft front lining is the detail you won't see from across the studio, but will appreciate when getting dressed for class.
Mara Dancewear Brisa 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 Brisa Leotard in Black specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
For longer studio days, Brisa's appeal is the balance of comfortable hold and easy movement. The smooth fabric follows the torso without the firmer sensation of the ribbed collection, while the wide straps keep the upper fit uncomplicated. The exceptionally soft front lining is particularly welcome when class runs into coaching or rehearsal — a small comfort detail that matters more the longer you wear it.
Mara Dancewear Brisa Black Colour Story
Black gives Brisa its everyday versatility; the blush-toned trim gives it a softer edge. Rather than introducing a print or a contrasting panel, the pale binding quietly traces the silhouette, making the V neckline and deep back the focus.
Pair it with ballet pink tights for a classical studio look, or add a sheer black skirt to keep the palette simple. Cream, blush and soft grey warm-ups pick up the gentler side of the detailing, while darker layers let the trim stand out. It is an easy foundation for a dance wardrobe without looking like an entirely plain black leotard.
