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.

One Soft Layer, Two Ways to Wear It
The Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Ballet Top brings gentle warmth to class with long sleeves, a cropped fit and a choice of necklines. Wear the boat neck at the front for more coverage, or turn it around for a deeper scoop that shows the leotard underneath.
Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Ballet Top – Design & Performance
The clever detail is the different neckline on each side. One side has a wide, shallow boat neck; the other has a deeper rounded scoop. Wear either at the front to change both the appearance and placement of coverage. With the boat neck forward, the scoop sits at the back. Turn the top front-to-back and the deeper opening frames your leotard's neckline instead.
The cropped body and long sleeves keep the silhouette neat without the volume of an oversized jumper. Unlike a bolero, this top places fabric across both the front and back of the torso, while the shorter hem avoids the extra length of a full jumper. There are no overlapping wrap panels or waist ties to arrange: simply pull it on over your dancewear.
Made from 48% viscose, 27% polyester, 21% nylon and 4% elastane, the soft rib-knit fabric has a gently textured surface and stretch for comfortable movement. This is the cosy layering knit used in the Studio Collection, not the firmer ribbed compression fabric of Mara Dancewear's leotards. Its role is to add softness and gentle warmth rather than sculpting support.
Made in Spain, it is a useful option when you want more torso coverage than the knit bolero but still prefer a light, cropped layer. The fine knit allows some of the dancewear beneath to remain visible, making it especially suited to layering over a leotard. Top only; the leotard shown is not included.
Why Dancers Love the Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Top
Choose What Shows
Keep the boat neck at the front for a higher neckline, or bring the scoop forward to reveal your leotard. A simple way to make the same layer work with different studio outfits.
No Knot at the Waist
The cropped pull-on shape needs no tying or wrapping. It is a useful alternative when you prefer a clean hem over your leotard rather than a bow or overlapping fabric.
Soft Over a Camisole
The soft knit is particularly welcome over bare arms and shoulders. It brings a cosy feel to a sleeveless class outfit without needing a thick jumper.
More Than Shoulder Coverage
When a bolero feels a little too open, this top adds fabric across the torso as well as the arms. The cropped length keeps that extra coverage compact.
Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Ballet Top Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each warm-up layer fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Ballet Top specifically; individual fit, warmth and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
The neckline choice is especially useful when different leotards call for different layers. Wear the scoop forward to leave a camisole neckline visible, or choose the boat neck when you prefer more coverage across the upper chest. The soft long sleeves add gentle warmth for early barre and rehearsal breaks, while the cropped body keeps the outfit from feeling swallowed by knitwear.
Who Is This Best For?
Choose this if: you enjoy soft knitted warm-ups, want arm and torso coverage without a full-length jumper, or like having a choice of neckline in one piece. It is particularly useful for dancers who prefer a simple pull-on layer rather than a wrap tied around the waist.
Consider a bolero or a heavier warm-up instead if: you want the whole front of your leotard to remain visible, or need substantial insulation for long waits in a cold studio. This top sits between those needs: more covered than an open-front shrug, but still a fine, cropped layer rather than heavy knitwear.
Product Highlight
♡ Two-Way Studio Favourite
The Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Ballet Top gives a simple warm-up an extra styling choice. A boat neck, a deeper scoop, soft knit and long sleeves make it easy to adapt to the leotard underneath, while the cropped pull-on shape keeps everyday layering uncomplicated.
