Washington,DCIf you already love capezio leos, this one won't disappoint. It fits perfectly and the open, strappy back keeps you cool during class. The straps extend far into your sides, which feels a bit revealing at first, but everything surprisingly sits where it needs to.

04/20/2023I am female, 5'9" tall and about 160lbs. I ordered the large. This leotard was way too tight on the shoulders, and I could barely get the straps up. I have a slightly longer torso than others I suppose, and this style just did not work for me. I'd recommend avoiding this style if you have a longer torso or broad shoulders. Cute style though! The Hunter green is a really nice color.

Granger,INI first bought this style when I was a lot younger, and I keep coming back and buying a new one when I grow out of them! I enjoy that it has a simple camisole front and the detail on the back, as well as it being a comfortable leotard!

11/26/2022I SO excited to finally have this leotard! I was really disappointed when I tried it on that it was too small. I ended up returning it. It's disappointing that it didn't fit because it looks so great in the picture and based on other reviews it sounds great as well. At risk of disputing what other reviewers have said, it runs small. the other leotards I've gotten in the same size have fit as expected. This one was disappointing.

Denver,COLeotard fit perfectly, the sizing was correct. The fabric is nice to the skin, the shelf lining bra not too tight nor too loose. I liked the simple design and the multi straps in the back, which were easy to place well after trying the leotard on (they rolled and some twisted when putting it on). All in all great simple class leotard.

07/30/2021Okay, so I like to wear bras under my leotard (I'm between 34B and 36C, and I like to be extra secure). I'm trying to break out of that, because I always want the fun leotards but can't usually find bras that go with them. I ordered the Medium, which is the size I usually get my Capezio leotards in, and I. Was. Shook!
I felt pretty supported in this, even with the low back and I have good coverage and my boobs aren't popping up over the top when I bend over...just....shook!
I'll try to write an update after I've tried it out in class, but I'm really excited to wear this!

Reno,NVThis is easily one of my favorite leotards, it fits well and is elegant but not too flashy. The maroon color I ordered is beautiful and subtle. Unfortunately, mine is getting a little small, but i like the leo so much I'll probably reorder in the next size up.

04/09/2016I've worn this a couple times now, and it's really comfortable. The fabric isn't quite as heavy a cotton as other leos I have. I only wear cotton & sometimes regret it when the studio's warm, but this seems to give you the best of both worlds. I have another princess seam cami (small) from capez and the straps dig into my shoulders a bit, so decided to size up to med for this. Mistake. Like one other reviewer noticed, It was too big in the hips & rear (baggy butt). If the small had been too small I'd have had to take in quite a bit along both side seams & center rear seam to make the med fit. The small is perfect for me, though. Just know there's quite a big jump in size in that area from sm to med.

01/18/2016This leotard is super cute, the material is soft, and it seems pretty durable. The fit was a little weird though. I am 5'4 and weigh 115 Lbs. After reading reviews about how this leo runs small, I decided to order a medium. The leo fit a little tight in the straps, but was really really baggy in butt (I have a pretty tiny butt though). So I returned it for a small, hoping that as I wear it the straps will stretch out slightly.

12/01/2015I was extremely happy with this leotard. It is extremely comfortable and flattering and it fits well. I am 5'6, 130 lbs, B cup and I ordered a large. I often have issues with the butt being too tight but this leotard is perfect- provides full coverage without sacrificing the leg line. It is simple enough that it is not distracting in class but the strappy back adds just a little bit extra. The cotton is soft and stretchy and the shelf lining is perfect.

10/20/2015This leotard is beautiful, however despite the fact that we measured and my girth was the smallest number for adult petite, that size was way to small. We had to return it and get the adult small, which fits perfectly! My advice, order a size bigger!

08/25/2015So I ordered this leotard and it came in 10 days. I was very happy with the material and the back detailing. However, this leotard runs very small. I am 4' 11", 82 pounds, and in my early teens. I usually wear a child large, but I ordered the adult xs instead after reading some reviews. When the leotard came, it was so tight that it became see-through. I measured the leotard and compared the inch measurements to the ones listed in the sizing section of the product. It seems that to get a proper fit, add 5-8 inches to your measurement and then choose the size according to that.

08/03/2015This leotard runs really small. My 11-year-old daughter usually wears a Child Large, and we had to order an Adult Small for her -- that's 2 sizes larger than what she usually wears! The leotard seems to be well made. Since it is an Adult size, there is a built in bralette.

07/23/2015My daughter asked me to purchase this leotard for both school (attends a performing arts high school for dance) and her dance studio. I followed the advice of other reviews and ordered a size up and the fit was perfect. She needs both hunter and burgundy and the colors are very flattering. I would not hesitate to order her more in other colors as well. The price is very good and I don't think you need to spend a fortunate on a leotard. Especially when my daughter dances every day and needs several leotards in different colors.

01/06/2015I bought this leotard in light blue. It looks very pretty on my pale skin and the back is shaped really nice. I am 5'4" with a slender build and the small was just a little to snug - mostly in the straps and they are not adjustable. I am returning for a medium. The fabric felt soft and wasn't see through. I would definitely recommend this but you may want to get a size bigger.

10/16/2014I purchased this leotard for my summer intensive since I bought a couple of expensive leotards already, and my mother was looking for a cheap buy. I knew exactly where to look for a cheap leo (Discount Dance!). Found this, and honestly, I was expecting much worse for the price. Extremely comfortable, fits great, love the back pattern, and an amazing investment. I wanted to wear this nonstop; I loved it more than one of my more expensive leos! Buy this if you're looking for a good cheap buy, or just a good quality simple leotard!

08/25/2014this is a beautiful leotard, and is great quality. just be careful if, like me, you're new to ballet and not in "ballerina shape." i'm not big by any means, 5'1 105 lbs, and got a small (i'm a 0/XS normally but went up a size). it kind of fits, but is uncomfortably tight around the chest and armpits (this might be in part because i'm a 32C, which seems big for this design) and creates little bulges of skin between the straps in the back. i'd recommend going up two sizes if you're a beginnner

08/05/2014I received this leotard in white as a gift. Normally, I wear size x-small/petite, but the leotard was a size medium. I was definitely expecting it to be huge, but it actually fit quite well. So, order a size or two up for sure.
The back detail is very pretty, and I like the slightly v-cut of the neck. It is very, very comfortable and stands up to washing well. My only other complaint is that the back of the white is see through. The front is lined, so I didn't have anything show, but I was wearing black and white striped underwear when I first tried it on, and the pattern was entirely visible through the back. This probably wouldn't happen with a darker color. Other than the fact that I will need to wear a nude thong under this leo, I have no complaints.
The simple elegance, comfort and durability mean that I would suggest this leotard to anybody!

07/17/2014I am 5'4", 110 lbs, with a D cup chest. Finding a leotard that is supportive and looks pretty is not easy. This one is both. I'm glad I read the reviews first because the leotard does run small. I ended up getting a medium in black and in burgundy. The shoulder straps dig in a little but I've only worn each a couple of times. It fits perfectly everywhere else. The neckline is modest so I have no fear of the girls falling out at inopportune times. As with any cotton leotards, I expect that the straps won't be as tight with time. All in all a good buy.

I always order it when I need new ones.
Very soft and comfortable. Doesn't ride up and the front doesn't fall down.
I'm 5'4 and 107 lbs and get a medium to allow for some shrinking from all the washing and drying.
Overall my favorite leotard.

I have the navy color and it didn't fade or bleed when I washed it. I'm hoping to get the burgundy color so I can have two so I don't wear on my leotards so much, but this leotard can take the wear! I would buy every color if I could!

04/25/2014This is my go-to leotard when I want to wear a camisole. I have had it for over two years and it has held up extremely well. I wear it about twice a month and it still looks brand new! It does not shrink in the wash either, but I do usually hang-dry it. Although I have definitely grown over the past two year, it still fits perfectly and is stretchy, but not super revealing, like other leotards with a lot of stretch! I usually prefer non-cotton leotards, but I love this one. For reference, I am about 5'1" and 100 lbs. and wear a small, which has fit for two years even after growing. My only small complaint is that for the first year I had it, the straps dug into my shoulders quite a bit. However, over time, they have stretched out and are now perfect! Overall, this is a fabulous and gorgeous leotard that I highly recommend.

04/08/2014This is a high quality, beautiful, well made leotard. The only problem is just way too small. My measurement falls into a adult medium, but I ordered a large just in case since most of the reviews indicated it runs small. But it is still very small when I got it. I had to return it. It almost made me suspect that the product is meant to be for children, not adult. I had quite a few Capezio leotards, but none of them run this small.

03/10/2014All of the bust/waist/hip measurements fit perfectly the the girth was all wrong! I can't wear this leotard because the straps dig in. This is for someone with a short torso so be sure to size up if you don't have a short torso...

02/21/2014I bought this leotard about a year ago, and i loved it instantly! It might be a little low-ish cut, but I don't think i would let that be the only thing to stop me. It is SUPER comfy, and isn't hot, especially since the back is open. I DO wear a sports bra with it, but I could probably go without. The shelf bra isn't uncomfortable, and doesn't go down too far. The main thing that bugs me is i get a minor wedgie from time to time, but I think it is because I lost some weight since when I bought it. It also runs small. I am a medium or large typically, and I was an XL, luckily I tried it on in-store!!

02/18/2014I've had to exchange this TWICE! (so far-STILL working on it!) This leotard runs WAY to small. I measured myself, and got a child's large. It was WAY to small i could hardly put it on! I am twelve years old. I got the adults XS, and that to was WAY WAY to small! I could barely breath in it. The straps in the back dug into my back and left marks after only wearing it for a few minutes! I am now going to exchange it-AGAIN-for a adults S and see if it FINALLY fits. I am very disappointed with the sizing. Otherwise though, the cut is very stylish and cute. I would suggest getting a size two sizes larger then you usually are-believe me you are saving yourself much trouble. Though the leotard does come fast-it took way longer to actually wear this to classes then expected because i had to return and exchange this.

12/09/2013I absolutely love this leotard, and I find myself wanting to wear it every week. I definitely wear it more than my others, but that is ok because the material has a great durability that has sustained my many wears. I tend to prefer cotton leotards and this made me love them even more. The fabric does not feel suffocating and I don't feel as sweaty and sticky during class. It has a really nice fit. I'm 5' 4" with a little bit of a shorter torso, and it fit perfectly. I also really like the leg cut and find it to be very flattering. The back design is an added bonus that even got a compliment from my teacher. Three girls in my class have this leotard, so I know I am not the only one who loves it. Overall, a great leotard-definitely fashionable, yet functional.

09/17/2013I love this leotard! It is very classic with a simple elegant design. I wore this in navy last year. I don't wear it anymore, but when I move up again I will buy it in burgundy. I love how this leotard will go up through all levels in the dress code. I moved up this year and I currently wear lavender, so it can't be worn right now. A medium in any leotard works for me. I have a long torso, am tall for my age, and I have a slender frame. One thing I would suggest is to first try going a size up if you are unsure. Capezio's leotards often run small. Over all, it's a beautiful leotard if you are looking for a simple, but elegant leotard.

08/31/2013Great leotard! I'm 5'3", about 125 lbs., 61" girth, and 34B/C cup. I ordered a medium, and for the most part, it fits great. The straps were initially pretty tight and left indentations on my shoulders/back, but after wearing the leotard to class several times, they have stretched out a little bit and it is now very comfortable. The shelf lining provides great support, which is my number one criteria when choosing leotards. I didn't rate durability because I've only had it for about two weeks.

08/14/2013My daughter is 5'3" 106 lbs and according to the sizing chart for bust, waist & hips, she should wear a small. Unfortunately when she tried the small on it was too tight at the shoulders, so I measured her girth and she is definitely a medium. The leotard is very pretty so we will be exchanging. Just thought I'd pass it on... Don't forget to measure girth.

06/21/2013This leotard has always worked since I got it. I have had for several months and love it. It looks lovely on me and it doesn't bug me. I love the design on the back and it is very classical as well as very comfortable. I wear leotards a lot of the time! It supports your chest, whether you are small or large. I got this leotard in navy and it looks very beautiful and elegant. I am tall, thin, and small chested, but it might work for curvier people or short people too. This leotard looks good on anyone!

06/04/2013I've had the red one for about a year and I have to say, it's really serving me well and it's still in perfect condition. It looks great on, the color is beautiful and the cross straps in the back are very elegant and modern-looking, which I think is a nicer look than the classic trestle-back. A little bit tight, but I personally am not bothered by that. My only slight complaint is that I cannot really wear a bra with it because the back is so low, but because it fits snugly, it actually does a pretty good job at holding the girls in place with just the shelf bra - and I have a bigger bust than most dancers (DD) so that's pretty impressive! Definitely worth every penny, you'll get a lot of good use out of it.

03/18/2013I've had this leo for quite a while and really like it! It's a very simple, but flattering, leotard. I got it in black and have used it under costumes, when it's needed to wear black leotards to a class/audition, etc. As I have used it quite a lot, there is actually a small hole in the leo! I'm kind of upset, but it's time for some new leotards anyways! Overall, very good!

02/20/2013I am a very small girl (size 0, regular busted, 5'6") and this leotard fits me awfully. I am an XS in every piece of clothing I wear and this leotard is way too small on me in a S. The straps are EXTREMELY short and dig in to my shoulders so much that I cant even wear it for more than an hour. Its beautiful and durable but you might want to consider ordering a size up if you're going to buy it.

02/08/2013A great leotard if you're looking for something classic and simple. Even though it's kind of backless, it offers enough support. I also like how the bottom doesn't ride up. However, it runs small and the straps feel like they are digging in to my shoulders. If you're a kid or short teenager and are wondering whether you should get the adult or kid version - go for the adult, will most probably fit better.

01/24/2013I ordered this leo in XS for my 7yr old dtr who is VERY tall for her age. It fits, but it is snug. I believe the adult small would be too big though. It has a very pretty back, but the straps are set wide and fall down on her shoulders (maybe because it is also a little snug fit?) My dtr does like the leo. It is very soft and stays put on her bottom when she moves. Overall, I would recommend it, just be aware the sizes are small. Btw, my dtr wears a size 10/12 in girls clothing, if that helps.

01/06/2013Ok I'm sorry, but I can't stand this leotard! Everyone has it! In fact I even have this leotard and I don't like it! It is ok for class, but NEVER WEAR THIS LEOTARD TO AN AUDITION OR A WORKSHOP/ INTENSIVE!!! You will blend in with every other dancer! Even if you are good I swear this leotard will make you look worse! Don't waste your money on an ugly leo that makes you look worse! In fact most capezio leos are ugly and plain. You should buy a mirella, greshiko, or a natalie leo! They are just so much prettier!!!

12/29/2012I've had this leotard for about a year, and it's still holding up very well. The straps do leave a mark on my shoulders, but it doesn't hurt, or bother me in class. Great leotard, as long as the cotton material doesn't bother you - supportive shelf lining (I'm an A cup, so I don't know about larger-chested dancers), normal leg line.

12/28/2012This leotard is not one to buy if you are a competitive dancer. The cotton material is not comfortable and leaves indent marks on my shoulders, and rides up constantly while dancing, as well as the size running small. When I got this I was about 5'6 and weighed about 110 lbs, and had to return this item to get a bigger size twice. I do not recommend.

11/26/2012I'm 5'0" tall and about 100 lbs. I typically wear XS in everything. The XS FITS but the straps do dig into my shoulders a bit and the straps along the back are slightly tighter than I would prefer but bearable.
The leotard itself is absolutely gorgeous though! I would just buy a small next time around.

11/22/2012O.K. I got this leo a few years ago bacause I was in desperate need of a new leotard for my dance camp. And this was the first one I could get my hands on at my local dancers shop. I wear this leotard all the time to class I believe I'm going on my third year with it and it's still new I love this Leotard

10/17/2012I read a bunch of reviews and I saw a few people saying oh I wear a 0 so I should buy XS -_- If you wear a zero you should buy a small, if you have big boobs go a size up.I f you wear a 00 order an xs, and so on. I got this in a small in black this summer because at my intensive we had to have black, This leotard is gorgeous and It isn't one of those leotards thats like "oh this is meant for a skinny girl" or "oh this leotard is for a girl with big boobs" It is a leotard that anyone can wear and it will look fabulous. The cotton is really comfy, but if you have never owned a cotton leotard before you should take note that cotton absorbs sweat, so if you are a sweaty person, I would not buy this. I would also take note that cotton stretches a little bit, not a whole bunch but just a little over time.

09/22/2012I have had this leotard for over a year and I love it! Its very comfortable and has held its color through many many washes. I have a small bust (32A) and I bought a medium, the straps work very well (with some minor gaping in the back of armpit). I only have two complaints 1.) The back bunches up a lot towards the base of my back, but this could be a sizing error on my part and 2.) Several other girls at my studio have this leotard as well and we have experienced rips on the side seams that occur quite often. If you don't mine putting a few quick stitches every once in awhile then you should be fine! Overall i would recommend this product to girls with a small bust and a relatively long torso!

08/27/2012I am 5" and 80 pounds, and am an adult small in Capezio leotards. I really like the style. The small one that I ordered was too tight at the ribs, restricting my breathing, and the straps were tiny. I got a size up and it feels better, so if you know what size you are, get a size up.

08/24/2012I love the style! But this was my first time ordering off this site, I'm 5'3 120 pounds and I got xs because I wear size 0 and stuff ... When I got it I wore it right away and it was really tight. I now know I should buy med or small Lool rookie mistake...

08/17/2012as other people said, this leotard runs very small.
i am 5'1 1/2, 100lbs, 34D and i bought medium.
the chest area is very tight and the straps are abit too short because of that. on the other hand, the thigh area is alittle bit big.
i would recommend this to those who are flat chested!

07/25/2012Very nice looking leotard. My daughter's friend wore it everyday for 3 months and still holds its color shape washing it weekly. I ordered a black adult small for my 5 ft, 85 lb daughter, but she had a hard time pulling it up passing her hips and the straps are too tight on the back.
A bit disappointing.

07/20/2012I normally ware a size 0-2. I saw the reviews that said it was small so I purchased the small instead of the extra small but it was very tight. I've been wearing it for a show (4 times a week) and just started the second of three weeks; I noticed there were a few very small tears in the fabric on the seams.
The good - we got it in white and the lining is very good. Once it got stretched out, the overall comfort is very good. It doesn't ride up. And it looks great.

07/14/2012I just received this leo in the mail today in both black and hunter green. The green is really a pretty color, a bit brighter than I imagined but still nice! I ordered a large (5'5", 145 pounds, hour-glass shape, 36D) which fits very nicely and gives me a lot of support with my large chest!! However, the straps did feel tight and were digging into my shoulders... Not sure if it's just a bit too small up top or if it's just made this way? I'm hoping that the straps will stretch out a little bit after wearing it for a longer period of time. I was surprised to find how much I liked it because I am not a huge fan of cotton leos. A great value, too! Overall, I really like this leo and would consider ordering it in other colors.

06/29/2012I absolutely adored this leotard! As of now, it is my favorite. It is comfortable and simply elegant. I am a bustier dancer and it holds me in quite well. The hunter green is a very pretty shade of green. I highly recommend this leotard.

06/19/2012This leotard is so comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to any dance who wants to buy it. Even though it is a simple style, it just makes you look so pretty. So many people at my dance school have this and I just 3 it.

06/06/2012I got this leotard in a Small. and I am 5.2 and 100lbs. When I got it, it was a little on the small side. Although I loved it and i do wear it occasionally! I like that this leotard is nice and simple and very cute. The front and back are perfectly fine on where they are. There is no need to pull it up or readjust anything.

05/16/2012So, I just received this product in the mail, so I cannot comment on anything just yet. What I wanted to review is the customer service! When I received this product, my slip said large and the packaging said large, but when I took the leo out of the bag, the tags on the leo all said small. And clearly, it was a size Small leotard. I called customer service right away to let them know that they sent me a mislabeled item, and they put another one in the mail instantly. No questions, no issues, just an apology for sending me the wrong item, and confirmation that they would double check the new one when they sent it to me. They even told me that I could keep or donate the size small. This is great because I am doing a show with a community theater and there are several young girls who can't afford leos, so this will really help out! Thanks Discount Dance for fixing my order and for being generous with the mislabeled product!

05/05/2012I got this leotard last year. I really like it and I love the back. The only bad part is that it is a little too small. Normally I'm and xs, but not for this leotard. The sizes run small. I do like it though.

04/29/2012This is a great leo to wear to class with not a lot of bling. It's a great leo to wear to class and still have a little design. Almost every dancer I know owns this leotard to wear for daily class. Great classic leo for any class.

04/27/2012I bought this leotard because I liked the design of it but after i bought it and used it i realized that since it is made out of cotton instead of nylon or spandex that it was very uncomfortable. It runes very small and I am a very petite 5'1" 95 lb girl and so i ordered an xs. it fit my horizontally but it was very small and tight vertically.... I do not recommend this leotard to anyone.

03/20/2012Sorry I can comment on anything but the sizing/fit. This leo is being returned because it's way too long in the straps for my daughter. We considered keeping it and shortening the straps but it made the criss-crosses pucker. It might be better for taller or longer torsoed dancers but just not a good fit for my 5'4" daughter. :(

02/13/2012My school has different leotard color for each level and I buy 2 of this leotard every year. I'm 5'4,110 pounds have an hourglass figure with a 32C chest I wear a M. This leotard has plenty of support and doesn't come down too low. Generally I have to watch how straps cut on a leotard because I have broad shoulders but this leotard cuts fine. Currently I have 5 of this leotard and LOVE every one of them

01/24/2012While I can't really comment on durability (I've only worn mine a couple of times), I have to say this leo is the most comfortable to dance in. I'm 5ft 4in. 120lbs with a larger ribcage/chest (34D). I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly. The material is stretchy enough without being too contrictive or tight. The arm straps felt as if they might slip down when I first tried it on, but I didn't notice this at all while actually dancing in it. Definitely gonna order more. The back is pretty too!

11/25/2011I've had this leotard for a mere 3 years, and it is still the same vibrant color (burgundy) and fits me nicely. the back is really great, with the lining and everything. This is so far the BEST support a leotard has provided me for my 34D chest. I am 5''2, 110 lbs and wear a size Adult Medium. Super comfortable and again, GREAT support. it tightens everything up and gives me a nice ''chest'' shape. I know it's kind of awkward to say this, but compared to other leos that flattens everything out, this one shapes AND provides support and give you a nice back line. It's a great leo.

11/24/2011i am 5 feet 3 inches, and i weigh 85 lbs. (yes, im borderline underweight) i have a fairly long torso, and i am usually a small in capezio leotard sizes. i bought this leotard in white to wear under a costume and for modern classes, and it is really kind of see through! it's not bad at all if i wear it with black tights OVER it, but wearing it for ballet with tights UNDERNEATH it looks funny because you can see the pink tights underneath the leotard. I also have to constantly kepp pulling it up because the size S i ordered was really small! overall it's okay; the back is pretty (but kind of itchy) but the white is see through and the size is almost too small. so definitely order a size up, even if it seems like a stretch.

11/21/2011this has become on of my favorite leos! i'm 5'3" 100 lbs and an a cup. i bought a small it was a little tight for me and i had some trouble pulling it over my hips at first, but it still fits well. the burgundy color looks exactly like in the picture, maybe just a tiny bit darker. i would recommend getting a larger size but i'm not sure if that would be too big for people with the same body type as me. girls with bigger breasts, definitely get a size bigger! the straps in the back almost never get twisted and there weren't any complications while dancing. overall, a great buy!

11/19/2011I LOVE this leotard. It's one of the only camisole leotards that I wear constantly, I love it so much! This leotard is a very nice, traditional, leotard, perfect for class, with the nice added touch of the multi-strap back to make it a bit fancier. The fabric is really comfortable and soft, and I love the shelf liner! It's much thicker than most other leotard's that i've worn; in black, the shelf liner is the same thick material the leotard is made of! The only problem i'd have to say that I have with this leo, is that it seems to run small sometimes. I have to get it a size bigger than I normally would to keep the straps from killing my shoulders. Other than that little problem however, it's great, and nothing will stop me from continuing to buy it!

11/18/2011I ordered 3 new leotards this is by far my fave. First of all this is the only one that has a good built-in shelf bra. I also like the cut of this one, the top is just the right height and shape to show off your lovely clavicles without having to worry that you may accidentally show more than you want to. The material is stretchy, but firm supportive. It has been through about 25 classes (and therefore 25 trips through the washer/dryer) so far still looks brand new. I plan to order 5 more of these make this my permanent full time leo. The only complaint I have is that the elastic sticks out of the straps a tiny bit at the very end, my skin is very sensitive to elastic so I had to add a little bit of soft fabric to the inside of the seam to protect me.

11/03/2011This leotard is really pretty and nice, and it fits really well everywhere except for the straps. They are so tight that the leotard is so uncomfortable and pretty much impossible to wear. I bought it for a performance and don't think I'll be able to wear it. I'm 5'5" 115lbs, usually a size 2 in clothing and so I bought a small. I would definitely recommend going 1-2 sizes above what your normal size is so that the straps will fit, or sew on your own straps.

08/13/2010This Leo is really pretty. I have it in white, and I like that it's lined. The only reason I gave it four stars is beccause it runs really small. My measurements were between a small and a medium and I went with the medium. It is somewhat snug and the straps are kind of tight.

It is a comfortable design that looks refined and sophisticated while also having a little spunk with the crossing in the back.

Madison Wi,I love this leotard! I wear it all the time and it's probably one of my favorites. I usually prefer the cotton material and this one is very nice but not too thick. The leotard is very flattering and I love the back design! It does get a little small after you first wash it but then it stretches out during class... A must have!

11/15/2009When I first tried on this body suit, I couldn't remember a better fit. I covered a good area in the bum and it fit well in the top. I got it in navy and it looked very professional but fun at the same time because of the back. The only thing that bothered me when I danced, was that the straps were so thin( on the shoulders) that they twisted every time I did turns or lifted my shoulders.
Overall a very good buy!

New York,This leotard is perfect in so many ways -- not to mention the price! The shelf bra is made of the same material as the leotard itself, so it is thicker than the usual nude mesh in some other leos and therefore provides really good coverage. It is very soft and very comfy to dance in, yet at the same time the cotton blend and the thick elastic under the bra gives very good support. And the back is just gorgeous! I can't say enough good things about this. The only thing that nags me a bit is the proportionally big bottom part. I am 5'3" and 105 lbs. Usually I wear an S but I need an M for this leo so that the shoulder straps wouldn't dig into my skin. But because of going up one size, the bottom has some excess material! But I wear a skirt over it so this is not such a big problem. Over all, it deserves a 5 star!

San Diego, Ca,This leo was great. I have it in navy and it's very flattering. The only problem with mine was that once I washed it a couple of times, it got pretty thin and you could see everything.
