Size & Fit Advice

Ilizia GL has a close, professional DellaLo fit with a softly gathered upper bodice and open front and back necklines. Select your size using body measurements and pay particular attention to girth.

Choose your regular size for a refined second-skin silhouette. If between sizes, longer through the torso or preferring less tension through the shoulders and sleeves, select the larger size.

The centre pleating should lie softly against the body without pulling sharply towards either side, while the low back should remain smooth and securely framed.

Care information

Hand wash separately in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not soak, bleach, tumble dry or iron.

Do not wring or twist the gathered tulle. Reshape the pleats carefully while damp and dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight. Handle the embroidery gently and avoid contact with jewellery or rough surfaces.

Wash separately from strong or dark colours to help preserve the delicate Vapore palette.

Size & Fit Advice

DellaLo Milano leotards are designed with a close, professional ballet fit. Use your body measurements rather than your everyday clothing size. If your measurements fall between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for greater comfort and freedom of movement.

Dance World Measuring Guide

How to Measure for a DellaLo Milano Leotard

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.

Dance World Tip

For DellaLo Milano leotards, girth is one of the most important 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 will often be more comfortable in the larger size.

DellaLo Milano Fit Guidance

DellaLo Milano is designed for a refined, close-to-the-body ballet silhouette. Lace styles can feel slightly firmer because lace generally offers less stretch than embroidered mesh or microfibre constructions. If you are between sizes, have a longer torso, or prefer a little more room through the body, choosing the larger size is usually the better starting point.

Dance World Fit Note DellaLo Milano size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit may vary depending on body proportions, leotard design, fabric, stretch, compression and personal preference.

Best For: Classical ballet • Rehearsals • Auditions • Coaching • Lyrical repertoire • Photoshoots • Stage performance

Description

A Pastel Leotard with 1950s Ballet-Film Charm

The DellaLo Milano Ilizia GL Vapore V-neck ballet leotard combines a misty blue-grey performance body with pale aqua tulle, delicate lavender floral embroidery and softly gathered short sleeves. Its ruched bodice and low open back give this Golden Label design the refined femininity of vintage balletwear within an exceptionally light professional silhouette.

DellaLo Milano Ilizia GL Vapore, V-Neck Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance

A softly open V-neckline is outlined in pale aqua binding before flowing into the pleated upper bodice. Layers of embroidered tulle gather towards the centre, creating gentle definition through the bust without padding or rigid internal structure. Tiny lavender floral motifs appear across the surface like hand-finished vintage embroidery.

The short transparent sleeves are gathered lightly at the shoulder and cuff, creating a delicate puffed shape that remains completely clear of the arms. From behind, the neckline descends into a low V-back that reveals the shoulder blades and lengthens the upper body, giving the pastel front an unexpectedly elegant finishing view.

Why Dancers Love the DellaLo Ilizia

Soft V-Neckline

The open neckline lengthens the neck while pale aqua binding gives the pastel upper bodice a clean frame.

Hand-Smocked Effect

Fine tulle pleats gather at the centre, creating the delicately shaped appearance of a vintage smocked bodice.

Embroidered Puff Sleeves

Transparent short sleeves combine soft volume with tiny floral motifs and unrestricted arm movement.

Low V-Back

The open back exposes the shoulder blades and balances the softly detailed front with one beautifully clean line.

DellaLo Ilizia GL Wear Profile

Fit

Close and elongated through the body, with a softly ruched upper bodice, lightly gathered sleeves and open V-shaped back

Feel

Exceptionally light and smooth, combining a flexible performance body with airy embroidered tulle and softly layered pleats

Compression

Good through the main body and lighter through the gathered upper section, creating gentle rather than rigid shaping

Support

Good – the close body and ruched front offer gentle security, without cups, padding or bra-style internal support

Coverage

Light – the pale Vapore body may reveal more definition than a dark colour, while the sleeves are sheer and the back intentionally open

Movement

Excellent – short sleeves leave the arms free, while the low back allows unrestricted movement through the shoulders and upper spine

Lining

None – designed without conventional front or back lining to maintain DellaLo’s signature lightweight Golden Label feel

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Vapore is a pale, intentionally delicate colourway; the layered embroidery adds visual coverage across the bust, but the construction remains exceptionally light.

Product Highlight

🪡 The Hand-Smocked Illusion

Ilizia Vapore looks almost as though its bodice has been shaped by hand using traditional dressmaking techniques. Fine pleats travel towards the centre like vintage smocking, while tiny scattered flowers resemble individual embroidery stitches. The effect is nostalgic and beautifully detailed without feeling like a costume.
