BLOCH Size & Fit Advice

BLOCH sizing varies between dancewear and footwear styles. For garments, use actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Tip

For BLOCH leotards and other fitted dancewear, girth is particularly useful because it reflects the full length of the torso. For children's garments, use age as a reference only and prioritise actual body measurements whenever possible.

Before Choosing Your Size

Take dancewear measurements over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. For shoes, measure both feet while standing and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

Bust / Chest Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level.

Waist Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso.

Hips Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Girth Start at one shoulder, measure down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

Foot Length Measure from heel to longest toe while standing. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

BLOCH Fit Guidance

BLOCH produces footwear for many different dance disciplines, so there is no single BLOCH shoe conversion that accurately predicts the fit of every model. Ballet, jazz, tap, character, contemporary, dancesport and studio shoes can all use different fitting recommendations. Use the international shoe tables above as a reference only and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Fit Note BLOCH size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit can vary depending on body proportions, garment design, fabric, stretch, foot shape, shoe width, construction and personal preference. Where an individual BLOCH product carries its own sizing recommendation, that model-specific advice should take priority.

Best For: Ballet class • Contemporary training • Rehearsals • Dancers who love a detailed open back

Description

Softly Sculpted in Front, Striking from Behind

Refined from the front and beautifully unexpected from behind, the BLOCH Olivia Cross Back Leotard in Black gives the classical camisole silhouette a much more distinctive personality.

A sweetheart bust line is softened by delicate mesh, while double velvet-bound straps travel over the shoulders into an intricate open cross-back. The result is elegant, feminine and particularly effective in timeless black.

BLOCH Olivia Black Cross Back Ballet Leotard L70012B – Design & Style

Olivia begins with a softly shaped sweetheart neckline, framed by sheer mesh across the upper chest. This creates the appearance of a delicate open neckline while maintaining smooth coverage through the main bust area.

The double camisole straps are finished with velvet binding, adding subtle tonal texture against the smooth black body. From behind, those narrow straps intersect across the open back to create a graphic pattern that is considerably more detailed than a traditional single cross-back.

The stretch body is made from a flexible nylon and elastane blend, with a separate fine mesh fabric used through the contrasting panels. A classical ballet legline keeps the lower silhouette clean and suitable for regular studio wear.

Why Dancers Love Olivia

Sweetheart Definition

A softly shaped bust line creates feminine definition, refined by delicate sheer mesh across the upper chest.

Velvet-Bound Double Straps

Double camisole straps introduce subtle texture and give the neckline a more distinctive, luxurious finish.

Graphic Cross-Back

Multiple intersecting straps transform the open back into Olivia’s most memorable design feature.

Classical Ballet Legline

A traditional ballet cut keeps the lower silhouette clean, balanced and easy to wear for class.

BLOCH Olivia Leotard Wear Profile

Fit Close, body-skimming dancewear fit; use torso girth as well as bust, waist and hip measurements when selecting a size

Feel Smooth and flexible through the body, with fine mesh and softly textured velvet-bound straps

Compression Light – designed to sit close and move easily rather than provide firm sculpting

Support Good – the shaped sweetheart front and close fit gave our model a secure, supported feel

Coverage Solid coverage through the bust and lower body, with sheer neckline detailing and a very open back

Movement Flexible through the torso, with open shoulders and narrow straps allowing easy upper-body movement

Back A dramatic open back framed by multiple crossing straps rather than a simple single X

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights the fit, feel and practical studio characteristics of each design, making it easier to compare dancewear across our collection. This profile reflects the Olivia Black leotard specifically; individual experience may vary with fit and personal preference.

Studio Experience

Olivia feels delicate and open without losing the clean appearance of a classical black leotard. The flexible stretch body follows the torso closely, while the narrow double straps leave the shoulders exposed for port de bras and upper-body expression.

From the front, the sweetheart shape gives the leotard a softly defined, composed appearance. Turn around and the mood changes completely: the intersecting straps frame the shoulder blades and make the back the clear focal point.

Product Highlight

✨ A Camisole with a Graphic Back

Olivia takes the familiar ballet camisole and gives it a much more distinctive personality. Sheer mesh softens the sweetheart neckline, while double velvet-bound straps travel into an intricate open cross-back that looks striking without feeling overworked. A smooth stretch body and classical ballet legline keep the overall silhouette clean, elegant and completely studio-ready.

Dance World Tip: Before class, check that each cross-back strap lies flat and evenly tensioned and that the mesh neckline sits smoothly without pulling.
