Care information
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.

DellaLo Milano Minerva Ballet Leotard – Timeless Lace with a Dramatic Open-Back Silhouette
Elegant, and quietly sophisticated, the DellaLo Milano Minerva DI Ballet Leotard in Vigneto celebrates the purity of classical ballet lines through rich colour, intricate lace and refined Italian craftsmanship. Part of DellaLo Milano’s distinguished Iconic Collection, Minerva combines a deep plum body with an exquisite floral lace bodice to create a silhouette that feels polished, feminine and beautifully balanced.
The wide boat neckline follows the collarbones with graceful simplicity, opening the upper body and naturally enhancing the neck and shoulders. Delicate cap sleeves provide just enough coverage to frame the arms, while the softly curved bodice seam creates an elegant transition between the textured lace and smooth matte performance fabric.
At the back, the exceptionally deep rounded opening reveals the shoulder blades and elongates the spine, creating a striking finish that enhances posture, épaulement and every expressive port de bras. Designed for dancers who value refined detail and unrestricted movement, Minerva DI transitions effortlessly from advanced class and auditions to workshops, editorial shoots and stage performance.
Design & Performance Features
Elegant Boat Neckline
The wide neckline follows the natural line of the collarbones, creating a poised and sophisticated frame that visually opens the shoulders and lengthens the neck.
Floral Lace Bodice
Intricate tone-on-tone floral lace wraps the upper torso with rich texture and delicate transparency. The refined pattern adds couture-inspired detail while maintaining a polished professional appearance.
Delicate Cap Sleeves
The short lace sleeves sit gently over the shoulders, creating soft upper-body lines while preserving complete freedom through the arms and shoulder joints.
Curved Bodice Shaping
A softly arched seam beneath the lace bodice follows the natural contours of the body, creating an elegant transition into the smooth Vigneto base and visually lengthening the torso.
Deep Rounded Open Back
The dramatic scoop back descends below the shoulder blades, revealing the upper spine and creating a fluid, elongated line from the neckline through the waist.
Premium Italian Performance Fabric
The smooth matte body offers excellent four-way stretch and dependable shape recovery, following the dancer naturally through pliés, extensions, turns and grand allegro.
Lightweight Professional Construction
Breathable lace and flexible performance fabric keep Minerva comfortable throughout long classes, intensive workshops and demanding rehearsal schedules.
