Size & Fit Advice

Overall Fit
DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close, professional ballet fit that beautifully follows the body's natural lines. The premium Italian stretch fabrics create a smooth, sculpted silhouette while allowing complete freedom of movement throughout class, rehearsal and performance.

Torso Length
Dancers with a longer torso or those between sizes may prefer sizing up for additional body length and everyday comfort. This allows the leotard to maintain its elegant proportions while providing a little extra length through the body.

Upper Body
The embroidered stretch tulle across the shoulders and neckline creates a supportive couture-inspired feel while remaining flexible enough for unrestricted movement. The premium construction provides gentle structure without limiting mobility, allowing dancers to move naturally through every exercise.

Dafne GL Fit Note
The embroidered floral tulle offers a beautifully refined silhouette with a slightly more structured feel than plain stretch mesh styles. It comfortably follows the body's movement while maintaining the elegant shape of the neckline and sleeves. If you have broader shoulders, a fuller bust or a longer torso, choosing the larger size may provide a more comfortable fit when between sizes.

Please Note: Our sizing advice is intended as a guide. Individual fit depends on torso length, body proportions and personal preference. If you're unsure which size to choose, our Dance World fitting specialists are always happy to help.

Care information

Hand wash cold with a mild detergent.
Do not bleach, tumble dry or iron.
Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
Handle the embroidered tulle with care to preserve its delicate finish.

When selecting dancewear, the most relevant measurement is the girth (also known as torso length). To measure accurately, start at one shoulder, pass the tape measure through the legs, and bring it back to the same shoulder. This ensures the best fit for leotards and unitards.

Women's Garments Size Chart

Size	Bust (cm)	Waist (cm)	Hips (cm)	Girth (cm)
XS	72 - 82	58 - 62	80 - 86	136 - 143
S	82 - 86	62 - 66	86 - 90	141 - 147
M	86 - 90	66 - 70	90 - 94	145 - 151
L	90 - 94	70 - 74	94 - 98	149 - 155

Size Up if in Doubt
If you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. A snug fit is essential, but dancewear should allow for flexibility and movement without restriction.

Fabric Differences Affect Fit

Lace leotards tend to have a smaller fit due to the fabric’s reduced elasticity. If you are considering a lace leotard, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
Tulle leotards offer a bit more stretch, making them slightly more forgiving in terms of sizing.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure the best fit and comfort for your dancewear. If you need further assistance, reach out for personalized advice.

Description

DellaLo Milano Dafne Ballet Leotard | Luxury Embroidered Dancewear

DellaLo Milano Dafne GL in Charleston is a celebration of timeless ballet elegance, where delicate Italian craftsmanship meets contemporary performance design. Part of the prestigious Golden Label Collection, this exquisite women's ballet leotard combines luxurious stretch fabrics with beautifully embroidered floral tulle to create a silhouette that feels effortlessly graceful from every angle.

The romantic Charleston colourway pairs a soft dusty rose body with sheer mauve embroidered mesh, delicately decorated with ivory floral motifs inspired by the beauty of classical ballet. The result is an understated yet distinctive palette that catches the light beautifully while maintaining the refined aesthetic DellaLo Milano is renowned for.

Design & Performance

At the front, the elegant deep V-neckline naturally elongates the neck and upper body, framing the dancer without appearing overly revealing. Fine contrast piping highlights the clean architectural lines of the neckline, while the carefully positioned embroidered tulle introduces texture and dimension that changes beautifully under both natural light and stage lighting. The result is a refined look that photographs exceptionally well while remaining perfectly suited to everyday studio training.

The embroidered cap sleeves are one of Dafne GL's defining features. Crafted from lightweight stretch tulle, they gently soften the shoulder line while maintaining complete freedom through the arms. Unlike heavier decorative fabrics, the premium embroidered mesh moves naturally with every port de bras, cambré and extension, allowing dancers to perform without restriction while adding an unmistakably romantic finish.

Beyond its visual beauty, Dafne GL Charleston has been engineered for performance. The premium Italian microfiber offers exceptional four-way stretch with excellent shape recovery, allowing the leotard to move effortlessly with the dancer through demanding choreography. The embroidered stretch tulle maintains flexibility despite its intricate floral detailing, ensuring that every movement feels unrestricted while preserving the luxurious appearance that defines the Golden Label Collection.
