I adore this leotard!! I've been dancing for four years now, and this is my third leo. I spent a while looking for this leotard, with different companies and styles, because I'm 5'6" and 125lbs with a 32" bust (34B) and like to have upper body support. Before this leotard, I've only had the CAPEZIO Adult Economy Short Sleeve Leotard and THEATRICALS Adult Short Sleeve Dance Leotard. I liked both, but they would trap the heat and sweat during class, making it really hot and uncomfortable. The cap sleeves and low back would sag whenever I bent over, and didn't give my upper body the support I like to have while dancing.
So while searching for a new leotard, I knew I wanted a racer back and a higher neckline. This leotard was the closest I could find to what I thought would get me the adequate support for my ballet classes, and I haven't been disappointed!! The fabric is slick and comfortable and very breathable. Heat and sweat don't get trapped and the fabric easily modifies to your body. The sizing is very reliable (I purchased an Adult Medium and it fit perfectly).
I bought the style with the white accents, and I love the way they look, except for the fact that the black bleeds into the white. I've had this leotard for a few months, and just recently I noticed that the white is turning to gray. It really weakens the look of the crisp and sporty leo when the sharp white is no longer sharp. The zipper up the front is really a cute accent, but it can get itchy where the end of it meets my chest. When I'm exercising and working hard, I don't want my sternum to be itching. Also, the seams under the bust could be a little lower. They don't exactly reached the bottom of my chest, so it throws off the line a bit.
Other than those small things, I really adore this leotard. It gives great support and the fabric is breathable and very comfortable to wear. Its easy to move around in and the cut looks really great.

Lena51704/07/2016UNIQUE AND SPORTY
Its not something that I would want to wear everyday because the style is so sporty. It doesn't really flatter some body types because of its distinct style.
The leotard runs a little bit large I would think. I am 5'7 and 115lbs. I got an M just in case but my body build is a bit big on the shoulders and this leotard was still a little bit loose.

Maridancer02/24/2015STYLISH
Loved it! and then I washed it (by hand). No matter how you wash it, the black runs into the white and you end up with grey. I still like the style and fit, but needs to have better fabric selection that does not run. I plan to purchase black with black.

DancerCO1401/30/2015OKAY..... BUT NOT MY FAVORITE
I wore this leotard in olive green with red accents as a costume with red high-waisted booty shorts. The material was shiny and smooth, but very thin and showed sweat very, very easily. It had super, super bad nipple showage when I wore it alone, so nipple covers or a stick-on bra was a must. Also, maybe it is just my personal preference, but I thought that the olive green was a very odd shade, and didn't look super great with the red.
I have very small boobs, am about 5'4", and am very thin, and I wore a size S. Some of the girls with bigger boobs complained about the front, but I didn't mind it. Also, one of my friends has this leotard in the black and white combo and really likes it.
Overall, I probably won't recommend it, and won't buy one for myself. It will work alright for a costume, and in pictures under the stage lights, it looked more vibrant, but I wouldn't ever wear it for class.

Dannie10/03/2014VERY COMFORTABLE!
This is hands down the most comfortable leotard I own! The material is very soft and sleek, almost like a bathing suit...though because of that any type of partnering/pas de deux might be challenging with being slippery. The fabric does pull somewhat easily....it caught the edge of something in my closet and got a tiny pull before I even wore it the first time. I think I'm an in-between size in Natalie, being between a medium and large. I'm 5'4 and 125lbs with hips and a larger bust, so the size large fit comfortably with a little extra room. A sports bra fit invisibly underneath, which is also great for dancers with a larger bust. I'd always rather to have more room then feel squeezed in a leo. Would definitely recommend!

whatsyourpointe05/23/2014COMFORTABLE & STYLISH
What I like:
fabric: nylon, light-weight, easy care
design: racer-back and zippered front
comfort: great!!
fit: true to size (I'm 5'3 tall and 107lbs and ordered SMALL in all black)
One of my favorite leotards! You cannot go wrong with this basic black.
Note:
I have found that the Natalie leotards can be inconsistent in sizing. Tank styles with skinny straps, or 1-inch straps, tend to run small, and the fabric for torso is cut shorter. I found this racer-back to be true to size.

MDdanceteacher04/08/2014BEAUTIFUL BUT RUNS SMALL!
I ordered 25 of these leotards to use for a performance. I followed the sizing chart closely when deciding what size to order for each dancer but when the girls tried the leotards on, they ran way too small. The dancers that measured as a Medium had to wear an X-Large to be comfortable. These leotards are gorgeous but I highly recommend ordering a couple sizes up!

Joannie08/08/2013NICE LEOTARD
I bought this for my 19 year old daughter and she loves this leo. She is 5'8", 130 lbs., average breast size. She is also able to wear her racerback sports bra. The nice part is that it is very slimming and it doesn't ride up. Highly recommend and will be buying more.

Zdancer07/16/2013CUTE, BUT MADE FOR A LONGER TORSO
I love the sporty cut of this leotard a lot! Unfortunately, I am 5'1 (120 lbs.# with a VERY short torso. I ordered a medium #because I am a little larger in the derrière) and I also ordered another Natalie leotard that fit fine. For some reason, this leo was very long and was more of a biketard than a ballet cut leo! The material is great and so is the racerback!

texassamantha07/08/2013VERY FLATTERING & FORM FITTING.
This leotard is "slippery" so don't wear it for partnering class. It does not get too hot to wear during 2-hour class. Very flattering and form fitting.

BLM444407/04/2013SEXY, SPORTY, GREAT SUPPORT
I wore this leotard for the first time in class yesterday. I have never written a review of a leotard before, but this one merits it. This is a stylish leotard with good support in the bust. It felt really comfortable and I love the zipper in the front. I want to order another one!

ZoeA06/13/2013THE BEST BUY
My parents purchased this leotard as a Christmas gift for me 2 years ago and I am so thankful they did. I typically wear a medium (5'3" 112) but I have a very long torso. It fits incredibly well and after hundreds of washes, it still fits perfectly. It never shrank or dulled. This leotard is great for many forms of dance as it compliments the body with great lines but is also transformable from the zipper in the front. I am traditionally a ballerina who does a lot of modern but when I take the occasional hip hop class, I unzip this leo with a colored sports bra underneath and it fits the mood.
I highly recommend this leotard as it is inexpensive yet well worth the money, versatile, and comfortable. Its a leo to wear when you feel your best and when your feeling a little self conscious. Definitely give this one a try.

KateD04/03/2013FINALLY, A LEO THAT DOESN'T RIDE UP!
I'm 5'7, 138lbs and very fit, but my hips are about 37" around and I have trouble finding leos that don't cut into my hips. Because the cut on the legs is so conservative (low), this is the first leo that I have bought that doesn't ride up and create the dreaded double-butt. Thank goodness! I like to wear my tights on the outside, so this is key (you know you get more of the dreaded double-butt that way).
The construction is fine. Just. The seams are pulling around the racing stripe, but it's holding up and the rest of the seams look great.
The shelf lining is good for me (I'm a b-cup at most), but I've seen girls with c-cups doing just fine.
I am so happy, I am ordering another. I got a medium, by the way.

danceteachernumber500003/29/2013IN LOVE!
I am in love with this leotard! My favorite purchase over the past year! I have a large chest, and this offers great support. The material is better than the normal cotton, and is so much more comfortable than I expected!

nycballerina12/25/2012THE BUTT IS A BIT BIG.....
I saw this leotard and instantly fell in love with it. I really wanted to buy it, so I did. When I put it on, I realized it was a bit big. I didn't like how the butt was so big. I prefer the normal or high cut leotards, but this leo was a bit big in the butt. Overall, I think it's wonderful, butI wish it could have higher cut legs, and a better fit.

I am 5ft .1in. so I got this in a size small, which is the size I normally wear, and this leotard was quite big on me so I would recommend going a size down.

Fabrizio10/14/2012ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
I ordered three of these leotards, and have worn just the Olive/Red one. I am 5"7' and 117LB, smaller breast, small waist, small hip, and long thin legs. S is just perfect. I wore it with a pair or camel tights and also wore a red wrap ballet mini skirt for the Center. I got complements. Very comfortable and look different from my regular camisoles. I love this!

Bonkers04/26/2012CUTE, BUT SMALL
This leo is super cute, and I love the details with the piping and the zipper, however it runs VERY small. I was between the M/L sizing and opted for the bigger size, and I'm still going to have to send it back in for an XL.

margaery04/06/2012LOVE!
This is probably one of my favourite leotards in rotation right now. It's sleek and stylish, and very supportive. I get compliments whenever I wear it - it's different enough to be unique without being over the top. The cut of the legs is pretty low; if I pull it down it almost looks like a unitard from the front, but that makes it comfortable leo to wear without a skirt or shorts. Definitely recommend it!

Will this fit someone with a long torso?
My main problem with leotards is finding one that is long enough for me.
Please follow the sizing information and measurement guide on the product page. Use the girth measurements to guide you to the correct size. - DDS Customer Service (06/22/2015)
Yes, I think so. My torso is pretty long. 33" and I have no problem. The shoulders are kind of off to the side a little as in the pic, this I think allows for a better fit. I am 5'7" 145lbs and got a Meduim. Hope this helps! - Elladancer (06/25/2015)
I am petite and large busted. Most of the time I have to get a basic leotard because of it. From some of the comments I wonder it it will accommodate a large bust. I often have to order an extra large.
The size XL in the bust measurement does go up to 41 inches, so I would compare your bust measurement with this.
The material does provide stretch. - DDS Customer Service (08/19/2013)
I am a 34D and the size large on me fit well with some extra room. I could easily wear a sports bra underneath for extra support and the straps didn't show. I'm 5'4 and 125lbs so the large fit comfortably with a little extra room, but not baggy. I would definitely recommend this leotard to a fellow large busted dancer! I hope this helped! - Dannie (10/03/2014)
massballerina 12/29/2012 Age: 17 or under What does the charcoal and yellow look like?
Please see style Natalie Two-Tone Camisole Leotard
Style No: N8626 for an example of the color - DDS Customer Service (01/03/2013)
Please see attached - DDS Customer Service (01/03/2013)
It looks awesome, that's what it looks like. It does show sweat because the "charcoal" color is more of a dark grey and the fabric is shiny, but it doesn't bother me. - Kated (04/03/2013)
I purchased the black and white version of this leotard but the charcoal and yellow were on this dancer I was at a conference with and I found it to be flattering. As with any colored leotard, it changes the way your body looks but it gave her a very muscular appeal. - Zoea (06/13/2013)
I just got the charcoal/yellow leotard last week and it's beautiful! It's not a dark gray or a light gray .. just a perfect medium. The yellow is very bright. I got lots of compliments when I wore it to class for the first time. It's very slippery material, so don't wear it if you are partnering. - Texassamantha (07/08/2013)
