How to Measure for a 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.
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 close to the body without pulling it tight. The dancer should stand naturally while being measured.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Do not pull the tape too tightly.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.
Height
Stand straight without shoes and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
For 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.

Deep Eggplant, White Velvet & Softly Shaped Lines
The YUMIKO Denise Camisole Ballet Leotard in Eggplant pairs a rich, dark body with a softly luminous White velvet upper section. Princess seams and a curved empire waist give the front its tailored shape, while Opera nylon trim outlines the neckline and slender straps. A simple scoop back, front lining and a high-cut leg complete this contrasting colourway.
YUMIKO Denise Camisole Ballet Leotard – Design & Performance
Denise begins with a shallow, softly curved front neckline and slim camisole straps. The dark Opera edging frames the White velvet, keeping the upper silhouette clearly defined without adding a deep neckline or decorative overlay.
The princess seams through the front bodice meet a shaped empire seam beneath the bust. This seam rises gently towards the centre and curves down towards the sides, creating an arched transition from White velvet to Eggplant nylon. It is the joining line between the upper and lower panels, rather than a separate waistband.
The White velvet continues around the upper back, forming a broad contrasting section beneath the scoop neckline. Opera nylon outlines the back edge and straps, connecting the pale upper section visually with the darker body. The back remains uncomplicated, without mesh, crossed straps or additional cut-outs.
This version offers moderate–light compression and support, giving the body a gentle sense of hold rather than firm compression. Good coverage through the body is complemented by front lining, while the high-cut leg sits higher at the hip. The tailored appearance comes from the seaming and colour placement, not from a heavily compressive construction.
Why Dancers Love the YUMIKO Denise
A Change from Black
Eggplant brings a little depth of colour to a dark studio wardrobe. It is a lovely alternative when you want something richer than plain Black without choosing a bright body colour.
Shape Without a Firm Hold
Enjoy a clearly defined silhouette without choosing strong compression. Denise's seam lines create the tailored look, making this version appealing when you prefer a gentler sense of hold.
Style Around the Contrast
Pick out the White upper section with a pale rehearsal skirt, or pair the darker body with plum or charcoal warm-ups. The two-tone design gives you more than one starting point for an outfit.
Keep the Back Simple
A good option when you enjoy distinctive dancewear but prefer a familiar scoop back. The interest comes from colour, texture and seaming rather than intricate strap arrangements.
YUMIKO Denise Camisole Ballet Leotard Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the YUMIKO Denise in Eggplant Nylon with White Velvet upper panels and Opera Nylon trim specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Denise offers a tailored appearance without a strongly held-in sensation. The smooth body and softly textured upper panels create a gentle contrast in feel as well as colour, while the simple scoop back keeps the silhouette familiar. In the right size, the shaped bodice should sit comfortably rather than pull through the straps or underbust seam. Good body coverage and moderate–light support make this version appealing for dancers who enjoy a defined class outfit but prefer a gentler fit.
Who Is This Best For?
Choose this if: you enjoy camisole leotards with shaped seaming, prefer moderate–light compression and support, and want good body coverage with a contrasting velvet upper section. Denise is especially appealing when you want a more tailored front while keeping the back simple.
Consider a different style instead if: you need firm compression, substantial bust support or broader shoulder straps. Denise's fitted appearance should not be mistaken for a high-support construction. Its smaller sizing also means choosing by your usual YUMIKO size alone may not give the intended fit.
Product Highlight
♡ Soft Contrast, Tailored Lines
The YUMIKO Denise combines princess seams, a curved empire waist and White velvet with the depth of Eggplant nylon. Opera trim neatly connects the pale upper section to the dark body, creating a distinctive camisole leotard with good coverage and a gentler sense of hold.
Yumiko Denise Colour Story
Nylon Eggplant
A deep aubergine shade with a smooth, even finish. Eggplant gives the leotard a rich foundation, offering a subtle alternative to Black while allowing the pale upper panels to stand out.
Velvet White
A bright, pale velvet with a soft sheen. Its gently reflective surface brings light to the upper silhouette and makes the princess seams and curved empire line more noticeable against the dark body.
Nylon Opera
A dark wine-purple accent that outlines the neckline, arm openings and straps. Its smooth finish keeps the edging neat, adding a slightly warmer note between the White velvet and deep Eggplant body.
