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.

Quiet Luxury for the Ballet Studio
Soft, understated and beautifully refined, Mara Dancewear Cala in Light Cream turns a simple camisole leotard into something rather special. Its warm neutral ribbed body is edged with crisp white straps and piping, creating a clean tonal contrast that feels modern, sophisticated and unmistakably ballet.
Mara Dancewear Cala Light Cream Ballet Leotard - Design & Style
Cala proves just how much can be achieved with a beautifully cut silhouette and a few carefully considered details. Light Cream puts the fabric itself at the centre of the design. The fine vertical ribbing is particularly visible in this pale neutral, giving the surface subtle depth while keeping the overall look exceptionally clean.
The softly shaped camisole neckline opens the shoulders and collarbones, while slim white adjustable straps allow the upper fit to be personalised. From behind, the neckline falls into a beautifully low scoop across the shoulder blades, outlined by white piping that gives the back definition without making it feel decorative. Small rose-gold adjusters and the discreet Mara Dancewear emblem add a polished finishing touch.
Underneath that delicate appearance is Mara Dancewear's signature ribbed performance fabric. It provides supportive compression through the body, four-way stretch for unrestricted movement and excellent recovery to help the leotard retain its shape. The high-cut leg continues the clean vertical line of the design and creates an elegant, elongated silhouette.
Light colours can sometimes feel less reassuring in the studio, which makes Cala's construction particularly important here. It is fully lined with Mara Dancewear's exceptionally soft lining, providing strong coverage and a beautifully smooth feel against the skin. The result is a pale ballet leotard that looks delicate but feels considerably more secure and substantial once worn.

Studio Experience
Light Cream looks delicate; Cala doesn't feel delicate. The open camisole shape and low back provide beautiful freedom through the shoulders, while the ribbed fabric gives the torso a supportive, gently held feeling.
For us, the full lining is especially important in this colourway. It gives a pale neutral leotard the confidence needed for everyday class, while its exceptionally soft feel keeps the compression comfortable through longer studio sessions.
Dance World Notes
- Don't call it beige. Light Cream has a beautifully soft, warm quality that sits somewhere between oat, ivory and pale stone - understated, but far from boring.
- The ribbing really shines here. On this pale colour, every fine vertical line becomes part of the design, giving the fabric depth and making the simple camisole silhouette feel much more considered.
- The back is beautifully judged. A low scoop exposes the shoulder blades without becoming dramatic, while the white piping draws one uninterrupted line around the opening.
- Pale doesn't mean impractical. The full lining and substantial ribbed construction give Light Cream reassuring coverage, one of the reasons this colour works so well as real studio dancewear rather than simply a fashion shade.
- Look closely at the finishing touches. White straps, warm rose-gold adjusters and the tiny Mara emblem create a subtle mix of tones that feels unexpectedly luxurious on such a minimalist leotard.
Dance World Verdict
🤍 Understated Favourite
Cala Light Cream is minimalism at its best. There is almost nothing unnecessary here, which makes the proportion, texture and finishing details even more important. The warm neutral colour feels sophisticated, the low back is beautifully framed and Mara Dancewear's supportive ribbing and wonderfully soft lining give this delicate-looking leotard genuine studio substance.
Mara Dancewear Cala Light Cream Colour Story
Light Cream sits beautifully between classical ballet and the modern neutral wardrobe.
Rather than a flat beige or traditional nude, this is a soft warm neutral with an almost oat-like quality. The ribbed surface creates tiny shifts between light and shadow, while crisp white piping keeps the colour looking fresh rather than muted.
With ballet pink tights, it becomes wonderfully soft and classical. Ivory and cream warm-ups create a tonal, almost monochromatic look, while chocolate, mocha or deep burgundy layers introduce a richer contrast. For something cooler, soft grey works beautifully too.
And beyond class, there is something distinctly modern about this palette. It's ballet-core without needing to announce itself - quiet, clean and very easy to style.
