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 Svetlana Ballet Leotard - Ethereal Colour with a Dramatic Ballet Silhouette
Romantic and beautifully refined, the DellaLo Milano Svetlana DI Ballet Leotard in Violetta captures the delicacy of light through softly layered colour, intricate floral embroidery and graceful Italian design. Part of DellaLo Milano’s celebrated Iconic Collection, Svetlana combines a cool ice-lilac body with sheer embroidered tulle to create a luminous silhouette for studio, audition and stage.
The softly rounded neckline frames the collarbones with classical simplicity, while the shaped sweetheart insert introduces gentle definition beneath the transparent upper bodice. Delicate floral embroidery flows across the shoulders, bodice and sleeves, adding texture and movement without overwhelming the dancer’s natural lines.
From the back, an exceptionally deep scoop opening reveals the shoulder blades and elongates the spine, creating a striking contrast with the refined coverage of the front. Designed for dancers who appreciate poetic detail as much as technical performance, Svetlana DI moves effortlessly through class, intensives, competitions and expressive repertoire.
Design & Performance Features
Refined Round Neckline
The softly rounded neckline creates a clean classical frame across the collarbones, balancing the intricate embroidery with a simple and elegant front silhouette.
Sculpted Sweetheart Insert
A shaped sweetheart panel sits beneath the sheer embroidered bodice, providing graceful coverage and feminine definition while allowing the floral tulle to remain the visual focus.
Embroidered Sheer Sleeves
The lightweight stretch-tulle sleeves finish around the elbow, extending the arm line while allowing unrestricted movement through the shoulders and elbows. Fine embroidered vines catch the light beautifully throughout every port de bras.
Floral Stretch-Tulle Bodice
Delicate tone-on-tone embroidery flows across the upper body, adding depth and luminosity to the Violetta palette without compromising flexibility or breathability.
Dramatic Deep Open Back
The exceptionally low scoop back follows the natural curve of the body, revealing the shoulder blades and elongating the spine for an elegant, stage-ready finish.
Premium Italian Performance Fabric
The smooth ice-lilac body offers excellent stretch and shape recovery, following the dancer closely through pliés, développés, turns and grand allegro without restricting movement.
Lightweight Studio Construction
Flexible mesh and performance fabrics help Svetlana remain breathable and comfortable during long classes, intensive workshops and extended rehearsal schedules.
