How to Measure for a Leotard
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 close to the body without pulling it tight. The dancer should stand naturally while being measured.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Do not pull the tape too tightly.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.
Height
Stand straight without shoes and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
For leotards, girth is one of the most important 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 will often be more comfortable in the larger size.

Minimalist Design Meets Luxurious Texture
The Yumiko Denise Ballet Leotard perfectly balances contemporary ballet design with refined luxury. Crafted from smooth Silver nylon, Denise is elevated by a beautifully textured Silver crushed velvet bodice and finished with delicate Magic nylon trim, creating a sophisticated silhouette that feels both modern and timeless.
Elegant princess seams and a softly curved empire waist sculpt the body's natural lines, while the open camisole back keeps the design beautifully clean and lightweight. Finished with Yumiko's signature high-cut leg line, Denise is designed for dancers who appreciate understated elegance with couture-inspired detailing.
Yumiko Denise Design & Performance
Denise showcases one of Yumiko's most elegant constructions. Carefully positioned princess seams work alongside the softly shaped empire waist to create a beautifully sculpted silhouette that enhances natural ballet lines without unnecessary embellishment.
The luxurious Silver crushed velvet bodice introduces rich texture and subtle depth, while the delicate Magic trim softly frames the neckline and straps to balance the cool silver palette with gentle warmth.
The open camisole back creates unrestricted shoulder movement while maintaining an elegant classical profile. Combined with Yumiko's signature high-cut leg line and front lining, Denise offers graceful freedom of movement throughout class, rehearsal and performance.
