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.

Rich Velvet, Rose Details & an Open Back
The YUMIKO Kiki Velvet Ballet Leotard in Cerise brings rich colour and soft texture to a beautifully simple camisole shape. A Cerise velvet body meets delicate Rose Techni trim, framing the softly curved neckline and Kiki’s exaggerated back cut-out. Front lining, good fabric opacity and a high-cut leg complete this expressive studio design.
The combination feels romantic yet contemporary, with a light, breathable feel that makes the velvet a pleasure to wear.
YUMIKO Kiki Velvet Leotard – Design & Performance
Slender camisole straps and a gently rounded front neckline give Kiki its clean classical foundation. Rose Techni binding traces these edges with a soft contrast, drawing attention to the neckline and shoulders while keeping the front beautifully uncluttered.
Across the back, a narrow velvet band sits above an exaggerated rounded cut-out that extends towards the sides. The pale trim follows its sweeping outline, making the open shape a defining part of the design. This generous opening leaves the back exposed and allows comfortable freedom through the shoulders during port de bras and contemporary movement.
The stretch velvet body offers a close, comfortably held feel, with moderate-to-good compression and moderate support. In this Cerise colourway, the velvet has good opacity, complemented by front lining for additional confidence. The high-cut leg creates an elongated ballet line, balancing the rich fabric with the lightness of the open silhouette.
