Intermezzo dancewear is designed for a close, streamlined dance fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For leotards and other one-piece garments, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso.
Intermezzo Ladies Garments Size Chart
Compare chest, waist, hips and girth to find your recommended Intermezzo women's dancewear size.
| Size | Chest | Waist | Hips | Girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 76–81 cm 30–32" | 56–63 cm 22–26" | 84–89 cm 33–35" | 132–140 cm 52–55" |
| S | 82–87 cm 32–34" | 62–69 cm 24–27" | 89–94 cm 35–37" | 140–148 cm 55–58" |
| M | 88–91 cm 34–36" | 68–73 cm 26–29" | 94–99 cm 37–39" | 148–155 cm 58–61" |
| L | 92–98 cm 36–38" | 72–79 cm 28–31" | 99–105 cm 39–41" | 156–160 cm 61–63" |
| XL | 99–105 cm 38–42" | 78–87 cm 30–34" | 105–110 cm 41–43" | 159–165 cm 62–65" |
For Intermezzo leotards, prioritise girth if your measurements point to different sizes. A dancer may fit one size through the chest and waist but need the next size for comfortable torso length. If you are between sizes, the larger size is usually the better starting point.
How to Measure for Intermezzo Dancewear
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 to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. For Intermezzo leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is not part of Intermezzo's women's garment size table, but it is useful when considering overall proportions and whether a dancer may need more length through the torso.
Intermezzo women's dancewear runs from XS through XL in the brand's main size guide, although individual styles may be offered in a smaller size range. Leotards should fit closely without restricting movement. Designs using lace, flocked tulle, mesh or structured neckline details can feel slightly different from simpler stretch styles, so use girth as the main reference and follow any product-specific Dance World fit advice where provided.

A Little Colour Before Class Begins
The Intermezzo Heather 2048 long striped legwarmers bring soft bamboo comfort and playful colour to ballet warm-ups and dance rehearsals. Made from 100% bamboo, their lightweight, breathable knit adds a comfortable layer over tights, while asymmetric stripes give a familiar ballet essential a distinctive finish. Choose pink-based or black-based stripes to complement your leotard, with long coverage that can be drawn up or softly gathered to suit your studio style.
Intermezzo Heather 2048 Bamboo Legwarmers – Design & Everyday Use
Heather's character comes from its mix of broad colour bands and finer contrasting stripes. The placement varies between the legs, creating an asymmetric look that feels relaxed and expressive. A simple leotard gives the pattern space to stand out, while a coordinating knit top brings the outfit together.
The fine bamboo knit has a soft, lightweight feel, with flexibility through its knitted construction. The long shape offers coverage above the knee when drawn up, depending on your proportions, and can also be arranged in gentle gathers for a lower fit.
An open-ended design lets the lower edge sit around the ankle, leaving you free to arrange the fabric alongside your dance shoes. Smooth the knit into place before starting your warm-up and adjust the length as your body becomes warmer.
Two Striped Colourways for Your Ballet Wardrobe
Pale Pink combines soft pink and deeper rose bands with cream and pale blue accents for a gentle, colourful look. Black pairs dark bands with grey, white and pale blue, creating a stronger contrast. Both options work with a plain leotard, giving you an easy way to refresh familiar practice outfits.
Dance World Tip: Match the smaller accent stripes to your top for a coordinated look. Pale blue works across both colourways, while a black leotard lets either pattern take the focus.
From the First Tendu to the Rehearsal Pause
Heather adds a little personality to the practical moments around class: preparing at the barre, marking a sequence or waiting between rehearsal runs. Keep the knit comfortably arranged around your legs, then lower or remove the legwarmers as you warm up. Their soft feel makes them an inviting extra layer to keep in your dance bag.
Product Highlight
