Size & Fit Advice

Evelyn is designed for a close, body-skimming dance fit with classic tank straps and a deeply scooped mesh back.

Use your girth measurement as the main starting point when selecting a BLOCH leotard size. Measure from the centre of one shoulder, down the front of the body, through the crotch and back to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

Compare the girth with your bust, waist and hip measurements on the BLOCH ladies’ apparel size chart. The correct size should sit smoothly through the torso without pulling the scoop neckline down or creating strain through the mesh back.

BLOCH Size & Fit Advice

BLOCH sizing varies between dancewear and footwear styles. For garments, use actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Tip

For BLOCH leotards and other fitted dancewear, girth is particularly useful because it reflects the full length of the torso. For children's garments, use age as a reference only and prioritise actual body measurements whenever possible.

Before Choosing Your Size

Take dancewear measurements over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. For shoes, measure both feet while standing and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

Bust / Chest Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level.

Waist Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso.

Hips Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Girth Start at one shoulder, measure down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

Foot Length Measure from heel to longest toe while standing. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

BLOCH Fit Guidance

BLOCH produces footwear for many different dance disciplines, so there is no single BLOCH shoe conversion that accurately predicts the fit of every model. Ballet, jazz, tap, character, contemporary, dancesport and studio shoes can all use different fitting recommendations. Use the international shoe tables above as a reference only and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Fit Note BLOCH size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit can vary depending on body proportions, garment design, fabric, stretch, foot shape, shoe width, construction and personal preference. Where an individual BLOCH product carries its own sizing recommendation, that model-specific advice should take priority.

Best For: Ballet class • Contemporary class • Rehearsals • Workshops • Refined studio styling

Description

The Classic Ballet Tank, with a Corseted Edge

The BLOCH Evelyn Tank Leotard brings sculpted corset influence to one of dancewear’s most dependable silhouettes. Classic tank straps create a secure, familiar frame, while sheer mesh and tonal velvet-bound seaming transform the black bodice into something far more distinctive.

From the front, Evelyn feels poised and structured. From behind, an expansive mesh scoop reveals the back with unexpected lightness.

BLOCH Evelyn Black Tank Leotard L50013B – Design & Style

Evelyn begins with a softly rounded scoop neckline and classic tank straps, then introduces a sheer mesh panel across the upper chest. Beneath the mesh, the opaque bodice rises into a gently shaped line that gives the front a subtle corset-inspired character.

Vertical velvet-bound seams travel through the torso, drawing the eye towards the waist and giving the smooth black body a more defined, architectural finish. The effect is entirely flexible: the corset influence comes from seaming and texture rather than rigid construction.

Across the back, the opaque body gives way to a broad panel of fine stretch mesh. The deeply scooped shape leaves the shoulder blades beautifully open, while the tank straps and bound edges provide a clean frame around the sheer panel.

The all-black colourway allows every texture to register differently. Smooth stretch fabric forms the base, fine mesh creates lightness and tonal velvet binding adds quiet definition without introducing colour or embellishment.

Why Dancers Love Evelyn

Corset-Inspired Definition

Velvet-bound vertical seaming shapes the bodice and draws the eye towards the waist without introducing rigid structure.

Sheer Mesh Neckline

Fine mesh softens the transition between the scoop neckline and sculpted opaque bodice.

Striking Scoop Back

An expansive mesh panel creates a beautifully open back while retaining the clean frame of classic tank straps.

Secure Tank Silhouette

Wide tank-style straps provide a familiar studio shape around the shoulders while leaving the arms completely open.

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each leotard fits, feels and moves in the studio. This profile reflects the BLOCH Evelyn Tank Leotard in Black specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.

Studio Experience

Evelyn balances the security of a classic tank shape with the visual impact of a much more directional leotard. The wider straps frame the shoulders cleanly, while the scoop neckline and sheer chest panel keep the upper body open and light.

During port de bras, the deeply scooped mesh back leaves the shoulder blades visible and allows the back line to remain a central part of the design. The vertical bodice seams create definition from the front without making the leotard feel overly decorated.

Dance World Notes

Evelyn and Mia share the same corset-inspired BLOCH Opulence language, but their personalities are different. Choose Evelyn for classic tank straps and a more expansive sheer back; choose Mia for mesh cap sleeves and slightly more upper-body coverage.
The back is intentionally sheer and deeply scooped. Any conventional bra band or underlayer may remain visible, so consider what you plan to wear underneath.

Dance World Verdict

🖤 Sculpted Tank Favourite

The BLOCH Evelyn is an excellent choice for dancers who like the reliability of a tank leotard but want considerably more design than a traditional studio basic. Its corset-inspired seaming, tonal velvet binding and dramatic mesh scoop back create a defined, confident silhouette while preserving the flexibility and openness required for movement.
