Use your body measurements rather than your everyday clothing size. Mara Dancewear uses different sizing across leotards, ballet skirts and warm-up pants, so always check the chart for the garment you are choosing. If your measurements fall between sizes, consider the measurement most important for that garment and your preferred fit.
Mara Dancewear Leotard Size Chart
Use your chest, waist, hips and girth measurements to find your recommended Mara Dancewear leotard size.
| Measurement | XXS | XS | S | M | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | 78–82 cm 30"–32" | 82–86 cm 32"–34" | 86–90 cm 34"–36" | 90–94 cm 36"–38" | 94–98 cm 38"–40" | 98–102 cm 40"–42" |
| Waist | 58–62 cm 22"–23" | 62–66 cm 24"–25" | 66–70 cm 26"–27" | 70–74 cm 28"–29" | 74–78 cm 30"–31" | 78–82 cm 32"–33" |
| Hips | 84–88 cm 32"–34" | 88–92 cm 34"–36" | 92–96 cm 36"–38" | 96–100 cm 38"–40" | 100–104 cm 40"–42" | 104–108 cm 42"–44" |
| Girth | 125–132 cm 49"–52" | 132–139 cm 52"–55" | 139–146 cm 55"–58" | 146–153 cm 58"–61" | 153–160 cm 61"–64" | 167–174 cm 64"–67" |
For Mara leotards, girth is one of the most useful 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 may be more comfortable in the larger size.

How to Measure for Mara 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 the body to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. The dancer should stand naturally while being measured.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body. Keep the tape comfortably against the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and do not pull it too tightly.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around the body.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Mara Dancewear uses different size structures depending on the garment. For leotards, compare chest, waist, hips and especially girth. For skirts, waist and hips are the most useful measurements. For warm-up pants, use waist and hips together with Mara's height guidance to choose between XS/S and M/L.

A Modern Take on the Ballet Neutral
Soft, earthy and beautifully understated, Mara Dancewear Cala in Light Olive brings a contemporary colour to one of ballet's most timeless silhouettes. The muted olive body is lifted by contrasting off-white straps and piping, creating a fresh studio look that feels distinctive without ever becoming distracting.
Mara Dancewear Cala Light Olive Ballet Leotard - Design & Style
Cala is built around clean lines, and Light Olive gives those lines a softer, more contemporary personality. The muted green tone works almost like a neutral, while the fine vertical ribbing adds texture and subtle definition across the body.
A softly shaped camisole neckline leaves the shoulders beautifully open, with slim contrasting adjustable straps allowing dancers to personalise the upper fit. From behind, the low scoop follows the shoulder blades in one clean curve, outlined by off-white piping that makes the back particularly pretty without adding unnecessary decoration.
Mara Dancewear's signature ribbed performance fabric gives Cala its characteristic balance of delicacy and support. The fabric sits closely against the body with gentle compression, four-way stretch and excellent recovery, creating a secure studio feel beneath the minimal camisole silhouette. A flattering high-cut leg continues the clean line through the lower body.
Inside, Cala is fully lined for comfort and coverage. The lining is exceptionally soft - one of the standout qualities we've noticed throughout the Mara Dancewear collection. Combined with the more substantial ribbed exterior, it gives this pale Light Olive colourway reassuring coverage while keeping the overall look beautifully light.

Studio Experience
Cala Light Olive feels calm and effortless in the studio. The open shoulders and low scoop back allow beautiful freedom through port de bras, while the adjustable straps help create a secure, personalised upper fit.
The ribbed fabric provides more support than the delicate camisole silhouette suggests, and the wonderfully soft full lining makes that close fit comfortable through longer classes. It's an easy style to put on and forget about - exactly what good everyday dancewear should do.
Dance World Notes
- Think of Light Olive as a new kind of ballet neutral. It has enough green to feel different, but the muted tone makes it remarkably easy to wear and style.
- The contrast trim changes everything. Off-white straps and piping sharpen the soft olive body and beautifully define both the neckline and low scoop back.
- Cala's simplicity makes colour important. With no lace, mesh or complicated panels competing for attention, the unusual Light Olive shade and fine ribbed texture become the design.
- There is more support here than meets the eye. The slim straps and open back look delicate, but the ribbed compression fabric gives the body a reassuringly secure feel.
- A lovely alternative to the usual studio palette. For dancers who already own plenty of black, navy and burgundy, Light Olive introduces something fresh without sacrificing the clean professional look of a classical camisole.
Dance World Verdict
🌿 Modern Neutral Favourite
Cala Light Olive feels very current without chasing a trend. The muted colour, crisp contrast trim and beautiful low back give a simple camisole real personality, while Mara Dancewear's supportive ribbed fabric and exceptionally soft lining keep everything grounded in serious studio performance. A particularly lovely choice if you want colour without wanting something bright.
Mara Dancewear Cala Light Olive Colour Story
Light Olive lives in that beautiful space between colour and neutral.
Soft and slightly earthy rather than strongly green, it has a quiet warmth that feels natural in a ballet wardrobe. The fine ribbed texture creates gentle shifts in tone as the body moves, while the contrasting off-white trim adds freshness around the neckline and back.
Pair it with traditional ballet pink tights for a soft classical combination, or lean into its contemporary side with cream, ivory and warm neutral layers. Mocha and chocolate add richer earthy contrast, while black creates a sharper, more graphic studio look.
Among the Cala colours, Light Olive may be the unexpected one - subtle enough to wear like a neutral, but distinctive enough to be remembered.
