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.

Minimalism with a Dramatic Twist
The Yumiko Kiki Ballet Leotard reimagines the classic camisole silhouette through one bold design statement. Crafted from smooth Techni Sage performance fabric and finished with luxurious Velvet Safari trim, Kiki pairs understated elegance with a striking exaggerated open-back design that celebrates the dancer's natural lines.
Clean from the front and unforgettable from behind, Kiki proves that simplicity can be every bit as expressive as intricate detailing. The result is a beautifully modern leotard designed for dancers who appreciate contemporary aesthetics with uncompromising studio performance.
Design & Performance
Kiki is built around balance. The softly rounded camisole neckline creates elegant classical lines across the shoulders and collarbone, allowing the body to remain the focus throughout class and performance.
From the side and back, the design transforms completely. The exaggerated open-back cut-out introduces remarkable lightness while visually lengthening the torso and highlighting the movement of the back during port de bras and adagio work. Rather than relying on decorative panels or embroidery, Kiki achieves its impact through precise pattern cutting and beautifully proportioned negative space.
The premium Techni fabric feels exceptionally smooth against the skin, offering excellent recovery and unrestricted movement, while Yumiko's signature high-cut leg line further enhances the illusion of length through the legs. Front lining provides additional confidence from the front without compromising the clean minimalist silhouette.
Why Dancers Love the YUMIKO Kiki
Dramatic Open Back
An exaggerated cut-out beautifully frames the shoulders and spine, creating Kiki’s distinctive contemporary silhouette.
Cool Through Long Sessions
The expansive open back encourages exceptional airflow, making Kiki particularly appealing for intensive rehearsals and warmer studios.
Smooth Sage Techni
Lightweight performance fabric offers silky stretch, dependable recovery and a deeper muted colour with better everyday opacity than paler YUMIKO shades.
Safari Velvet Definition
Rich olive velvet trim adds subtle depth while beautifully outlining the clean neckline and dramatic open-back construction.
YUMIKO Kiki Leotard Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the YUMIKO Kiki Leotard in Sage Techni with Velvet Safari trim specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Kiki feels exceptionally light on the body. The silky Techni fabric offers smooth, responsive stretch with gentle medium compression, allowing complete freedom through every movement without ever feeling restrictive.
The dramatic open back significantly improves airflow, making Kiki one of the coolest Yumiko styles to wear during intensive training. While the front lining provides confidence through the front of the leotard, the open-back construction creates a lighter overall feel that many dancers love during long rehearsals and warmer studio environments.
