05/16/2024I purchase this leotard every year, to have a new one, in this case, for my upcoming ballet exam. It's a good basic, pretty solid bust support (I'm somewhere around 34/36C and I don't wear this leotard with a bra...in Ballet and also like Modern and other classes, comfortably). I just have to keep repurchasing because after washing and rewearing for a year, it gets a bit stinky and washed out (could also be regular wear and tear). I tend to prefer Capezio cotton leotards though, the nylon leotards aren't as supportive, even though i do wish this came in a nylon (shows sweat less, etc). Anyway, this is my favourite Ballet leotard.

03/21/2024I have stupidly sensitive skin and it has been getting harder to find cotton leotards. Mirella makes a few but they still use nylon gussets and linings. This is my go to leotard. It is comfortable, stays in place, washes well, and has held up through countless classes. I have it in all the colors and also a few in black. My oldest black one is about 10 years old and is slightly faded, but still OK. I also like the adjustable straps and have had no issues. I machine wash on delicate and hang dry.
I think this leo does run a bit small, even as compared to the size chart. I wear a Medium and I'm roughly 108 lbs, 25" waist, 35" hips, 33.5 bust, 59.5" girth.
30 to 39 Runs small

San Diego,CAGood style because of bra. Runs about a size smaller than theatrical brand. Side seams in bra area weaken first, so holes always develop there eventually.

Portland,ORI like this Leo because the fabric is a little thicker and the shelf bra is a little more supportive then other Leo's I've had. As a somewhat busty dancer -(34c)- Capezio's have been the best fit for me. At 5' 6" and 135 lb I always order a large.

Chicago,ILBought this for my daughter who takes 4 classes per week. The leotard itself is ok, but the strap adjusters are plastic and break easily. Wouldn't buy it again.

06/10/2015This leotard is great. I bought it because I saw it on clearance and decided to try it since a lot of girls at my studio own this leotard. I got the garnet color and it is a really nice red color. The adjustable straps are awesome. I can't comment on durability since I have only worn it once. The back comes to about mid back so not super low but it's not a high back either. I didn't have to pull at this leotard at all it stayed in place and the front never fell down too low. The leg line isn't very high but it's ok. The garnet color looks great with white and black skirts. Overall this leotard is really great, especially for the price.

05/21/2015As a studio director, I use this leotard as part of our required dress code for classes. Can't beat the quality for the price and they hold up very well.

04/25/2015I followed the sizing chart and I bought accordingly. The leotard fits perfectly and the neck line doesn't move when you dance and stays put. Adjustable straps are great and the fabric feels fine and does stretch quite a bit for me. I bought the burgundy and it was a different color than shown, but it was still a nice hue.

01/15/2015I love the color of this leotard (Hunter), but I was hoping the material would have more stretch in it... I do like the seams in the back though.

10/09/2014I bought this for my daughter who is almost 15, about 5'7'' and right in the middle of all the adult size M measures so we ordered the M. It was so small she could barely get it over her hips and once she did it was too short and too tight. The material seems nice though so we have returned the M for an L and are hoping it will fit. It's just a pain to have to return mail order items...

03/28/2014It's comfortable, but not stretchy because it is cotton.

01/22/2014I purchased this leotard in red. I am around 5'4 and 120 lbs, 34A. I love the adjustable straps! This leo looks good with pink tights and a white skirt, pink tights and a black skirt and black tights with a black skirt. This goes well with everything. But after a while your chest start to sag kind of and it looks weird. But A+ for comfort!!

05/01/2013Bought this in garnet and small (5'2", 90lbs) which is nice bright color and a good fit. Good basic leotard, very soft, stretchy, and comfortable for a cotton leo, because it has a full frontal lining, so you're not directly in contact with the sweaty cotton.
The straps are flimsy though. Makes me feel light I'm about to expose myself when I cambre back, and the plastic adjustable thing broke about 2 years into wearing it (I tied the straps now so I can still wear it, but the leo is on the verge of retirement).

10/17/2012This is a very pretty leotard and it is also very affordable, however I think this leotard looks best on the tall skinny type of girl. Mind me, anyone can wear this, but I think that the type of person who it looks most flattering on would be a tall, thin girl.

04/06/2012This is my favorite leo. I ordered it over a year ago and it holds up great. The adjustable straps are very nice and I've never had a problem with them slipping or anything like that. It's comfortable, flattering, and simple, and the color hasn't faded at all. I have the burgundy and I just ordered the light blue. Can't wait till it comes in!

02/10/2012this is a really nice leotard but it is a bit small but adjusting the dtraps should make it perfect
the back was a bit lower than i thought it would be so i can't wear a bra with it without looking tacky and there is no build in bra :(
other then that very flattering

11/25/2011This is my ballet school's uniform (in black). It is great, it gives adequate suport (im a 34D, 5''2, 110 lbs, I wear this one in medium) and is very comfortable. This leo fits basically EVERYONE, since in my class we all have different body shapes and it literally fits nicely everyone. it is flattering and slimming and the butt line is perfect and not too ''boy cut''.
The straps are good, adjustable and come in handy.
Overall, this is a great bodysuit.

Suburb Of Chicago,It's comfortable, it's slimming, I don't have to pull it up even once during class. I am 5 ft 5 in and 116 lbs and wear a bra size 34A to 36A in bra sizes. A lot of really pretty leotards that I wear tend to fall down and then I dislike wearing them. This one is pretty on my body and it's comfortable. I plan to buy more of these leotards soon.

06/05/2010The leotard is nice, but the adjustable strap is not good, the fabric stripped away from the elastic inside. Totally unusable at this point.

12/12/2009This is a very good leo. The fabric is NOT shiny at all, also it's thick and non-see through. The only thing is that the straps slip off easily, especially because they sometimes adjust themselves to be longer. Otherwise, this leotard does not run larger than when you first got it. I got this leo in black,adult small.I'm 12,5'2 and 100 pounds.

10/07/2009I really like this leotard! I got it to wear to my modern classes(I can't wear it to ballet,we have a uniform)and it is still going strong through the twisting and rolling of modern. Thanks, Discount Dance Supply!

Exeter, Nh,This leotard is great! I got a medium and I'm 5'6" and 130 pounds and I'm not afraid of going to ballet without a bra with a 34C chest. It has really nice coverage.

Wisconsin,I have this leotard in burgundy and black, and I love it! It looks really nice, and so comfy! It's nice and simple, and only $14! I love this leo and I plan on getting more colors in the same style, because I know it will fit.

07/29/2009Gorgeous! I have the black and it makes me look thinner (I'm rather chubby for a dancer!) and I love the straps! They don't fall down at all ever and the neckline is perfect for my 34B bust. Doesn't ever show anything and is perfectly supportive. I love the back too. It's low, but not too low so I worry about my tights showing. I'm ordering hunter, green, navy, burgundy, and two more black ones!

07/09/2009I have trouble finding leotards that look good on me and this one is pretty close to what I want. I have the hunter green and got the royal blue. The green is ok but I gave the blue away. The neckline is high but its not that supportive. I want to get a black one though. Maybe in black my tight line won't show through as much.

07/02/2009This leo is ok. It's not that supportive and I can see the line on my tights. I have the hunter green and it's not very flattering. The v back is better than I thought it would be though.

03/22/2009This is my new favorite leotard! First of all, the adjustable straps are very well built and do not change lengths as you move. The front does not scoop down too low, which is great. There is no picture of the back, so just to let you know it's a scoop back, no V or anything. The material is thick and supportive, not too thin at all! Thank you Capezio!
