Ballet Rosa dancewear is designed for a close, professional ballet fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size. For leotards and unitards, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso. If you are between sizes or have a longer torso, the larger size is often the more comfortable starting point.

For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is the most useful measurement when sizes disagree. A dancer can have a small bust and waist but still need the next size because of torso length. If the girth is close to the upper limit, or the dancer has a longer torso, sizing up usually gives a more comfortable result without losing the close ballet silhouette.
How to Measure for Ballet Rosa 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 Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Bust / Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the bust or chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body and comfortably close 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
Stand with the feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat. Keep the tape straight and level 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.
Ballet Rosa does not use height directly in this women and girls garment chart, but it is useful when considering overall body proportion and whether a longer-torso fit may be needed.
Ballet Rosa adult sizes correspond approximately to 36 = XS/Petite, 38 = Small, 40 = Medium, 42 = Large and 44 = XL. The garments are intended to fit closely, but torso length is particularly important in leotards. If the dancer has a longer torso or the girth sits near the top of a size range, consider the next size up. Ballet Rosa also notes that a Long Torso adjustment of approximately 2 cm / 1" can sometimes be appropriate.

Where the Back Becomes a Work of Art
The Ballet Rosa Barrat leotard begins with the purity of a classic camisole, then becomes completely unexpected. Delicate straps cross a dramatically open back before flowing into an abstract line-art motif that appears to move with the dancer.
Ballet Rosa Barrat Artistic Cross-Back Camisole Leotard – Design & Performance
A softly scooped front and fine camisole straps create a beautifully understated opening, allowing the neck and collarbones to remain clear. Contrast piping follows the shoulder line and introduces the first hint of the more expressive design waiting at the back.
The low open back is framed by slender crossing straps that travel diagonally across the body. From there, the contrasting line continues into a fluid abstract motif, giving the impression of a drawing created directly across the dancer’s silhouette.
Smooth Matte Lycra keeps the solid body streamlined and responsive, allowing Barrat’s artistic detailing to remain the focal point. Full front lining provides useful opacity and stability, while the refined ballet-cut leg completes its professional studio and performance finish.
Why Dancers Love Barrat
Dance World Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Barrat feels light and beautifully open through the shoulders, allowing the back to remain visible during port de bras, épaulement and expressive contemporary movement. The Matte Lycra body provides a smooth foundation beneath the delicate design, while the crossing straps create a close connection between the leotard and the dancer’s movement. Correct girth is particularly important because excess tension may pull on the fine straps or alter the positioning of the artistic back detail.
La Cité – Movement Drawn in a Single Line
Within Ballet Rosa’s La Cité Collection, Barrat celebrates simplicity, form and abstract expression. Its restrained front creates space for the back to become the creative focus, turning contrast piping into a flowing visual signature.
The design feels equally at home in a professional studio, an audition or a choreographic photoshoot. Paired with a simple ballet skirt, Barrat retains its refined classical character while allowing the line-art back to remain completely unmistakable.
Product Highlight
✦ Wearable Line-Art Statement
Barrat proves that a leotard does not need embellishment or elaborate fabric to make an impression. Its delicate straps appear to draw across the open back before becoming an abstract artwork within the silhouette itself. From one angle it is beautifully minimal; from another, it is impossible to forget.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Barrat for dancers who appreciate artistic construction and want a leotard with genuine individuality. Its simple front keeps the body line clean for professional training, while the sculptural back gives it exceptional presence for auditions, photographs and performance.
Dance World Tip: Step into the leotard and settle the body before carefully lifting the delicate straps into place. Avoid overstretching or twisting the artistic piping, and pair Barrat with a simple skirt when you want its exceptional back design to remain the focus.
