Womens Cotton Pinch Front Tank Cotton Dance Leotard

I bought this for my daughter who is 5'7" and 140lbs and it is very small. If they made it in a 2XL, it would fit her. She has a very long torso. I purchased an XL and it is snug in the crotch and legs. It is a really cute leo though.

Love, love love! My parents originally bought me this leotard in burgundy, which got me hooked. It is so comfortable and breathable. For cotton, it does not attract much pet hair compared to other cotton leotards for me. Bought this in the pastel-light blue and I'm just soo obsessed! I am so happy with the amount of colors this style comes in. This is one of my favorite leotards ever. Going for the eggplant color next! (For reference I'm almost 5'11 125lb and got a size adult medium - tall girls, this leo works for us!)

I was looking for a cotton leo as in allergic to spandex. I'm hoping it will be okay at just 5%. It fits well. I'm 5'9 with long legs and 145. I washed it by hand in a mild soap with a little added vinegar to set the dye. It did not bleed.

Adult ballet dancer here. Bought this sleeveless leotard for spring and summer months when my workout space is warmer. The pinch front, princess seams and thicker straps denote quintessential ballerina style. Sizing isn't always consistent and had to size a full size up when purchased last. Also, may want to handwash, as the material and color wore out within a year. Overall, cute design but wish it lasted longer.

This has become one of my go-to leos. I'm 5'7" about 125lb waist 33 and hips 37. I ordered a size large and it fits like a dream. It's simple and super flattering and goes well with everything. I've since ordered it in more colors. Love it!

I have this same leotard from a few years ago and a small fit me wonderfully. I didn't think it would change that much. It barely made it over my shoulders and everything was hanging out. For reference I’m 5’6” and 112 lbs so I am shocked. I looked at the sizing chart prior to ordering and I was within the small range. These used to fit wonderfully. A little disappointed.

My daughter like this leo and usually gets a size small but will have to order a large in this because the small AND the medium were too small for her.

This has been a go-to Leotard for years and I decided to replace some of them. I ordered 3 different colors all the same size and all 3 were different. The red was extremely small. Ordered a medium and it fit like an XS or large child. The black one fit ok, slightly small but not bad, but the back was sheer. I popped the tags and put the Leotard on for class saw my back in the mirror and it was so sheer you could see my tights and bra straight through. The green was perfect. The green fit like the older versions I own and oddly had the tag like the older ones had so maybe that's why. It's such ashame because it was a great Leotard and very flattering, but I won't buy this brand again in fear that I have no idea what I'm getting.

This is the leo our studio asked for. We've been wearing it a couple of years and never had a problem, but this time the leotard is a MESS. Came with a rip at the side seam. But we only need it for a couple more months, so it wasn't worth trying to return/exchange. Just sewed it up and didn't worry about it. At this point it has been worn for 8 classes and stitches are coming out and the straps are coming completely undone. I'm having to patch it up all over the place. (Because I'm NOT spending money on another of the same poor quality leo for 3 months of class!)

Purchased an adult medium, which should have fit my 5 foot 5, 128 lb. frame. However, it fit like a size small. Six months ago, I purchased the same leotard and the adult medium fit perfect. Already tossed the tags, so can't return. If you can get the sizing right, this leotard is actually flattering. The lighter colors seem more prone to fading and discoloration, with wear. Sticking with darker hues, for now.

I ordered a medium and the item that came to me was small enough to be considered a child large. Clearly this product runs far too small, the torso was not in any way long enough for an adult medium. I would recommend ordering 2 sizes larger than your normal size if you are worried it will not fit. Otherwise the material seems good quality.

This is a great leo, but it runs small. I ordered this same leo 1-2 years ago. It was a size Small. I put it on recently and it was a bit tight, so I ordered two more colors in a size Medium. However, the medium feels way tighter than the small from a few years ago. I am hoping they will stretch out with time, but doubtful. Based on the website sizing info, the medium should fit well. The leo itself is a great style. Flattering cut and comfortable material. Lots of great color options. It would have been fantastic if the sizing was correct. I am a fairly small person, only 5ft tall and about 130 lbs. To need to go up to a size large for an adult leo doesn't make sense.

This leotard is one of my favorites. The only drawback for me is that the straps do not line up with my bra, so I have to and a light wrap for modesty.

I am an older dancer (over 50 years old), 5'2", 130 lbs. with a 36" bust, large waist (34") and 40" around the widest part of my hips. I normally wear a size 8 petite in regular clothes, but an adult medium or even occasionally a large in leotards. After looking at the size chart and because several reviews recommended choosing a larger size than usual, I ordered both the medium in garnet and large in teal. I tried the medium first - It was way too long in the torso, so I never tried the large and am returning both of them.

I really like this leotard. They look great on the girls. That being said...please, please, please, please, please, please add a size in between the Large Child and the Small Adult. The Large Child fits more like a medium child in the girth. All of my dancers that are generally a large child have to size up to a small adult and then shorten the straps to make them fit.

I really love this leo, and plan on ordering more soon. I am 5 foot tall and 110 pounds. I ordered the Medium and it fits beautifully with just a little extra space in the crotch, but since I will be wearing shorts or skirts it won't be noticeable. I could probably try a size small next time, but I would rather have a bit too big than too small. I was pleasantly surprised to find them fully lined in the front! (always a plus in my book) I have not danced or washed them yet, so review may change once those aspects are experienced, but so far I don't foresee any problems moving in it, it seems durable, breathable, and is very comfortable and flattering. I ordered the Teal and the Eggplant and both are beautiful colors and exactly as I expected.

I measured a small in this, but ended up needing a large. So be sure to order up! (I am 5'6 125 lbs for size reference). I really appreciate how there is enough fabric in the back its not constantly riding up. I love the color (eggplant). Just be sure to hand was in cool water as the color will fade. I am defiantly going to order other colors next time it goes on sale!

I can't really say anything bad about this leo. The color "burgundy" is a really pretty dark red and the style is perfect for class. You can wear it with a bra or without because the front is fully lined. It's a little tight under the arms so it pushes some back fat out so maybe order a size up. Good quality!

For the price, the style and details of the leotard are great. I ordered a size up from the provided sizing charts because I read the reviews, but I ended up having to reorder for my whole class anyway. After trying on the costume, my students complained about the straps rubbing and being too tight. I had to order TWO SIZES UP from the suggested sizing chart.

This leotard is a little bit weird in a way that i can only describe a disproportionate. I honestly didn't know what to put for the size rating. while the torso fit relatively well the thick straps were way too long. despite the gorgeous colors that the leotard comes in, the two that i ordered (mulberry and teal) looked horrible on my body because it accentuated the areas on my body i did not want to be accentuated, for example, the seam at the top of the torso was very tight (this would leave red marks where was was digging into my skin) making it look like the fat above the neckline (front and back) was bulging out of the leotard. the straps did not help in the fact that they were very long and were not at all flesh to my back and were in fact curved above it. i do not like this leotard and i ended up selling both of the two leotards that i bought. i have no plans in buying this leotard again and do not recommend it to anyone.

I'd love to have one in every color! More coverage and support than most leotards. Full front lining and thick straps mean you can wear a bra underneath if necessary. Quality fabric. I'm very pleased!

Love the wide variety of colors that this leotard comes in. I am 5'7" and 127 lb, with a curvy shape and the M fit well - the only minor annoyance being that the leo comes up a little too high under the armpits so you can get a little bulge of skin. It's not too bad overall and I love the color and princess seams, so I'll deal. It also doesn't have a shelf bra (unlike the one made by Capezio) but it easily fits a cami bra underneath.

I ordered this leotard in forest green and the colour was exactly like it was pictured. I am 5'4 and 125lbs and size M fit perfectly. I love the cut and the straps, it is flattering. It is well lined so you don;t need to wear a bra. One side of the leotard cuts a little at the underarm but I think it will be less of a problem after extended use. Great for normal dance class.

It is a really nice leotard for the price. No complaints about the quality. However, based on measurements alone, I should be a small, but the small is quite short. Don't usually have problems, because I have a short torso for a tall person (5'11"), but it's so short that it digs into my shoulders and my butt, which is not very flattering. I've tried stretching the elastic around the leg openings and the body in general, but it is very sturdy--a good thing in general, just not in my case. I'll try the medium next time, but I worry that the midsection will be too baggy. Would recommend for shorter dancers, though.

I was worried about ordering online,but went by measurements,and my daughter was actually leaning towards a size large. 38 bust 34 waist 38 hips. But it is cotton and we didn't want it to end up stretching out. Got a women's medium and it's perfect. Very comfortable. She is 5' and 130 lbs. (for reference) :)

Purchased in Adult Medium as I just grew out of Adult Small leotards. Most mediums fit great, but this one is is too tight through the girth even though the measurement chart puts me in a Medium. Other than the size, it's a pretty leotard, so I guess I will try a large and see if that's roomier.

My dancers love this leotard. Good fit, flattering cut for most body types, stretches well along length so doesn't ride up as extend through torso. Full front lining doesn't cause any strange pulls, seams, or lines as with some half-linings and shelf-bras. Appears to hold up well to heavy use, but will fade and stretch eventually, as cotton does.

I purchased this leotard in Teal a few months ago. I loved it from the moment I put it on. The size XL is comfortable, easy to put on and take off. The fabric is soft. So I purchased two more, in Chocolate and Purple. Well, the XL is no longer the same size. I can barely get it over my hips. It measures easily 1 inch narrower along the whole torso than the Teal from a few months ago. It is unwearable. I have been dancing for 25 years. I am no longer thin. Finding a pretty leotard in size XL is not easy. I am very disappointed that I have to return these leos. The colors and fabric are nicer than the comparable Capezio.

I love this leotard! I bought the burgundy one to start, but ended up buying another in black and one in teal! They fit great and offer comfort and support, and are affordable too. I am a size 34C and was worried about the support the leotard would give, but it's great! It holds everything in and is comfy to wear for a whole class. Would definitely recommend (and I might just buy another one!)

I was pretty excited for this leotard to come in, but I was disappointed. If you have no chest or hips, this would be fine. But I am 5'4" and 124lbs with a somewhat wider waist. I won't be returning it, but this probably won't be one I wear too often. The material is nice, but it makes me look 10 times bigger than I actually am.

For such a low price, this leotard is surprisingly nice. I haven't had it for very long but I can tell that the cotton fabric won't stay pill-free for very long but the leotard will probably last a while. As far as sizing goes, I am 5'7", 135 pounds, bra size 32D and I ordered a medium, which was tight enough to be nicely supportive. I find that I prefer full-front linings to shelf bras even with a fuller chest because shelf bras don't always come down far enough and can be super uncomfortable when they're cutting across places where they shouldn't be. Also, leotards made with cotton blends tend to be WAY more supportive than super-stretchy all synthetic leotards.

I'm just over 5'10" and often have a hard time finding leotards that fit nicely. I always have to get a large because of my length but sometimes that still rides up my tush. Other times they are too big around the top. This leo works really well for me. I don't usually write reviews but I often look for reviews from dancers who are also tall - so I figured I put this out there. Its flattering, fits my tush fine and so far hasn't faded (probably had two of these for about 6 months). I'll be purchasing a white one for SI soon - it is fully lined in the front so that is also a plus!

This is my favorite leotard! The only problems I have with it is it shrinks (because it is made out of cotton), and the shoulder straps get stretched out easily. . Eventually I will have to sew mine for it to fit right. other than that, I love the leotard! Beautiful color and flattering! I am also very happy that is has a whole front lining.

I am not the skinniest girl in my ballet class and have always had a struggle finding leotards that make me feel confident when I look in the mirror. When I found this leo I was overjoyed because the princess seams and sweetheart neckline is very flattering and probably makes me look like I'm 15 lbs lighter. I used to try to stick to the darker shades of leotards but with this leo I like wearing all of the colors that are offered because it has lining all down the front of the leotard and supports anything that wants to jiggle. The only problem I have with this leo is that the straps are a little short and rub a tiny bit under my armpits but it isn't too bothersome and totally worth it!

This will be your favorite leotard if you are looking for comfort and a good class basic. It is functional but the many colors keep it fresh and interesting. I got the teal and it hasn't faded over many classes and washes. The thick straps, seams, and pinch front make it flattering and stylish.The material is perfect,soft and cottony but also strechy. The shelf lining is full so it covers the whole front of the torso. This ensures that leotard won't be see through, however the lining isn't very supportive. Overall, a good leotard for the price.

I'm always somewhere in between a small and a medium for bodysuits and though this one fits as a small it's a little bit snug. I bought this in the light blue and it is nice and opaque. The cut isn't super flattering but overall not too bad. It will do the job and for the price it's well worth it.

As a dance teacher I’m always on the look out for cute, well made, affordable leotards. I got these leotards for my dancers and one for myself. The color selection, pitch front, and soft feel were nice, but they all were much too tight. I even read a review saying they ran small, so I sized up and I still had to return most of them! The material doesn’t move and fades when washed. I will not be buying this brand again.

I am 5'9", 118lb. and I bought a medium turquoise -- I usually wear medium sizes and I also followed the size chart exactly. I have rather long legs, but my torso is not that tall. Nevertheless, the leotard fits quite tightly. But I think that over time it will probably wear out a bit, all my former leotards did. I'm afraid that a large size might be too big in the chest area for me, since I do have small breasts. What irritates me is the fact that this leotard is fully front lined with 90% polyester --- what is the point of particularly wanting a breathable cotton leotard when the entire front is lined in non-breathable plastic?

Easily the best leo I've ever purchased. The color is gorgeous (I got the eggplant), the fit is perfect (I'm 5'4" 120ish pounds and I got a medium), and its lined. It looks fantastic with black tights, doesn't ride up uncomfortably anywhere and creates a beautiful silhouette. Highly recommend!!!!!

We ordered this leotard in an adult small for my 10-year-old because the children's large was 2 sizes too small. This adult leo fits her just right except that the straps are a bit too long, making the neckline too low. I took the straps up about an inch and will let them out as she grows. It's fine if you have a bit of sewing knowledge, but otherwise this style of leotard is a total bust since neither Child nor Adult actually fits without alterations.

I ordered this leotard in the forest green color, and it looks just like it does on the website. I love the pinch front detail! I'm 5'7" and 125 lbs and I ordered the medium. It's a little tight but comfortable enough that I wouldn't risk ordering a size up. By itself, I'm not sure it would offer enough support for larger-busted girls. I'm a 32DD cup and wouldn't dare to wear this leotard without extra support. However, the wide straps allow me to wear a bra underneath easily. I'm very happy with this leotard so far!

I usually refrain from buying cheaper leotards just because you usually get what you pay for, but not with this leotard. I ordered a red one to start with and ended up ordering three more because I liked it so much. It is cotton so it gets a bit fuzzy after several washes, but that's to be expected. I am 5'3 and 90 lbs and the small fits great. All four of mine have held up great for over a year and I dance about 8 hours or more a week.

This leotard is very similar to two Capezio leotards that I have purchased from Discount Dance Supply. I like this one much better--this one runs true to size, has a full front lining instead of a shelf, and is much more comfortable. The choice of colors is wonderful! I bought the medium and probably should have ordered the small (5'3", 110 pounds) since it is a bit long in the torso for me. It still looks great. I will probably buy more colors.

I have just started taking ballet as an adult and i needed a leo for class. I obviously do not have a dancers body yet as I am 5'9" 160 lbs. I ordered an XL.This leo was very tight and felt very short. I am a C cup and I felt very squished and my underarms bulged. will be returning. Im sure it would look great on a smaller body but not me :(

Not my favorite leo. First of all, it runs small. If you are unsure of which size to get, get the larger one. Also, I know I should have expected what I got when I read the fabric content because, yes, it is almost all cotton, which means it doesn't stretchas much as most leos. It just doesn't seem to have the quality and style of other leos that look exactly like it from the picture. I have one from the "motionwear" brand in the same style and size and am much happier with that one than this. I can't really comment on the durability because, frankly, I won't wear it until I get back to my regular weight. It is simply not comfortable. I usually weigh 135 and am 5 foot 5 but recently put on few pounds due to illness. The medium is not comfortable! I plan to lose weight again and then I believe the fit will be ok for those weighing from 120 to 130-ish

I bought these for my dancers ranging in sizes child L - Adult XL. My smallest dancer is a child L but when she put the leo on she couldn't stand up straight it was so tight. So we went up to an adult small and it fit perfectly. They ran a size small for all of my dancers. If you wear an Adult XL this leo will not fit you.

I can't say enough how amazing these leotards are. My daughter has been dancing for two years and by far this is the most comfortable and favorite leotard she owns.. She is 5'5" and 117lbs and the small fits her nicely. I wash and dry them and they do not shrink. They are fully lined. She is approx. a 32B and wears this leotard without a bra and feels very comfortable and covered at all times.

Great style of leotard love the front but the eggplant is really dark and looks like brown other than that it fits like a glove and very durable

I recommend this leotard to ALL of my students. At 5'7" and 132lbs the size medium fits perfect. The colors are great, all front lined and the straps are just wide enough to hide a bra for those who need it, while the support provided is fabulous without one. My favorite leotard for my students.

I am amazed at what a great leo this is for the price! I find it to be very comfortable, as it does not ride up and the straps do not slip down. It has a modest ballet-cut leg line. It does not have a shelf bra, but it is fully front-lined and the fabric is substantial enough that I felt OK wearing it to ballet without a bra. (I am a 34/36C, however I am a beginner and we don't do a lot of jumping in my class.) I also tried on the Capezio Princess Tank, which is a very similar style. The Capezio seems to run a bit smaller, is a little higher cut at the leg line, and has a shelf bra instead of a front lining. It felt a little more supportive than the Theatricals, but overall the Theatricals was a better fit for me. For reference with regard to choosing the right size, I am 5'7"-5'8" and around 137 lbs, and the large fits just right.

I have this in black and teal and I love it so much! It fits me perfectly and is very flattering; and I don't have a 'ballerina' body. It has enough room for a fuller rear which is very nice and it doesn't ride up. The straps are sewn on and are not adjustable which is perfect for me, as adjustable strapped leotards always feel too low cut in the chest area or like they're slipping down. The material is a nice thickness and is soft. It's fully lined in the front all the way down to the crotch. I can easily get away with not wearing a bra and feeling supported in this, but I have a smaller bust, so bustier women might need to wear a bra. I am extremely happy with this leotard!

For those of you who are worried about getting what you pay for, don't! I have this in Teal and Red (Garnet), and these are my most comfy leos. I'm 5'3, 115lbs, 36B, and ordered in Medium. You can wear nearly any kind of bra with it, or go without, although it doesn't have a shelf bra... I've had the Teal for over a year, and it hasn't torn or worn or faded! The Garnet is a gorgeous color, looks good on all skin tones. Overall, 5 stars for comfort!

This is my new favorite leo. I'm smaller on top, so I like that the whole front is lined rather than having a shelf lining (I don't need support), and it's really soft. The forest green color is exactly what I expected. I'm about 42" hips, 32" waist, 5'7", and the extra large fits great.

I've gotten several compliments on this leotard, and it's very nice for people with a bigger bust. I ordered it in burgundy, and my only complaint is that the shelf bra and the top of the back are not comfortable. I suppose I just dont like shelf bras. But this is a great leotard for all body shapes, it is simple yet attractive. I'd recommend. The Capezio Adult Halter is exactly like this, slightly lower in the back and a halter. Both are very nice.

We own a black leotard by the vendor but received a request by the dance teacher to purchase a "light blue" leotard for her syllabus training. I could not locate the color "light-blue". I searched by "alternative" views and found the turquoise color which appeared to be spot-on. My only concern was if the online color would be the same as the actual garment, and IT WAS! So thankful!

I got this in royal and garnet. The colors were pretty, the cotton fabric was decent, but the fit was off. I'm a medium in bust/waist/hip, but have a long torso, so I end up getting large in leotards. The large in this was surprisingly small, fit more like a medium long/tall, which would have been great, BUT the armholes were way too small! so my underarm-side area was bulging out over the armholes. Definitely NOT attractive. And I thought the leotard was smaller than many I've tried/have...so I'm not sure why other reviewers said it ran large... I'm very small on top, don't have thick arms (my arms are naturally thin compared to the rest of my build), so this was a HUGE surprise! It's not a problem I have with clothing...so back they'll go...

I saw my friend wearing the same leotard in light blue, green and red and so I got my own in the color yellow. I love this leotard so far and It's one of my favorites! Wore it on my birthday too. A great buy. Very Comfortable, stylish and simple.

I ordered this leotard in medium. It is very true to the size. I decided to get the color purple, and it is great. The material is soft and comfortable. You don't need to wear a bra with it. It supports me very well. Very comfortable while dancing. I would really recommend getting this :)

I love how this leo comes in so many pretty colors! I bought the mulberry and the teal. The teal color looks just like the photo in this listing, however it is darker than the cover photo for the Theatricals camisole leo listing. (unless that leotard cut happens to have a lighter color?) The mulberry is not quite as bright as it appears in the photo. For some reason this is one of the only leos I can't possibly get away without wearing some sort of bra. ~maybe~ with the darker teal one but definitely not with the pink one. It doesn't have a shelf bra, but I even have shelf-bra-less leos that I can go au naturale. I think this leo is probably more flattering on thinner folk, because once I got it on I noticed the neck line looked a little funny/stretched up. (Possibly because I've got some boob. I'm not busty by any normal standards but I suppose I am by ballet standards.) I noticed some people mention this leo runs small. I think it might because I did notice it is a bit tighter than all the other larges I own. I didn't have a problem with it being too tight though, probably because I'm in between M and L (bust and waist are M, hip is L, don't know about girth because my measuring tape is only 60" lol) So in conclusion: If you are bigger/busty, this cut might look a little funny on you. And if you are on the larger end of your size or in between sizes, maybe go for the next size up/the larger of the two.

I like the leotard in itself but it runs seriously small in size. I have always ordered a large from the DiscountDance catalogue and the size always fits me perfectly. I did the same with this leotard and a size large could not even pass my hips! I had to return it!

I wasn't sure this leotard was going to be the best, considering the low price, but I was wrong. I ordered it in a size medium in the chocolate color, and it is very pretty. The material is soft and comfortable. I like it more than some of my other leotard than are twice the price. I will surely be ordering more in other colors. Just one thing to note-this leotard does not have a shelf bra. I thought it had one when I ordered it, and I was concerned when I saw that it lacked one. I still found it supportive enough for me(B/C cup), even though all my other leotards have shelf bras.

This is by far my favorite leotard. The shape of the neck line is very flattering and it's comfortable enough to wear all day. I usually don't like wearing my leotards without a bra, but this one has enough support to make me feel perfectly comfortable without one.

Cute, inexpensive leotard. I ordered this in three colors. They fit well and the colors are vibrant. I was surprised to find the front is fully lined but without the elastic shelf bra of the partial lining I'm used to. It still provides plenty of support for my B-cup, but 32 year old mother, chest. Sweat does show through the cotton. That doesn't bother me at all, but worth noting. Sizing is true to the chart, but runs larger than other brands. I normally wear a Large for dancewear, but the size chart put me in a Medium. It fits very well and a large would have been way too big. The back is cut straight across... I prefer a little bit of a dip, but I knew that from the pictures before ordering.

This Leo is great for everyday classes! It is a simple Leo, and very comfy. I got this Leo in turquoise and it is one of my favorite Leo's. I do with the back was more open though, just because it is flattering on me. The back opens up to about your shoulder blades, and the princess seams make the Leo really flattering on your body. It is super cute with a black skirt to! I would recommend this Leo to everyone! My younger sister also has this Leo in the mulberry color, and she loves it!

I selected this as a required leotard for one of my classes, and my students and I love it. My students have it in black, and it is flattering on all body types. They arrived quickly and so far they have been quite durable. I ordered according to the chart and everyone's leotards fit perfectly. Great item for the price!

I recently ordered this leotard, along with another from this website. I got it in purple and turqoise, in size SMALL... all my previous leotards had been ADULT MEDIUM, but I measured using the size guide on the site, and fit into the small category. I was concerned about whether or not the small would fit, but when they arrived, I was more than pleased to find that they fit perfectly! :) My ballet teacher really loved the leotards, and compliments me on how lovely they are when I wear them :) they are really gorgeous leotards, and I can't wait to get some more in different colours!

I have always struggled to find a really good leotard. I have a long torso but am skinny without a big bust. So if I get a large leotard, the straps are always falling off and the bust area is baggy. If I get the medium leotard, it is always way too tight in the length. But this leotard is absolutely perfect. I weigh about 135 lbs and am 5'8" and the large fit me perfectly. I do aerial dancing on fabric so need a leotard that is super durable and strong. I don't go for the dainty, princess straps and can't wear anything that won't cover me properly when I am hanging upside down. I was incredibly impressed with this leotard. I didn't think it would be that fantastic because it was so cheap but I was certainly surprised. I am now ordering a few more in different colors. I haven't been this happy with a leotard in years!!!

This leo is cute because of the pinch front. I like the wide straps, but they're a little big, so I always end up twisting them into my bra straps. But besides that, I like this leo a lot!

I like this leotard a lot!! The only problem is, it's just like a leotard I already have!! (Capezio Adult Tank Leotard Style No: CC202) So now it's like I have 2 of the same leotard!!!!!! I could not see any princess seams in the picture!!! So I thought I was getting a leotard somewhat like the one I already have!!!! Oh well, I really like this leotard, I guess it won't hurt to have 2!!!

I just received this leotard in the mail today in teal and it's beautiful! The wide straps don't cut into my shoulders, which is a problem I have a lot with leotards as they tend to be a little short for me. I have a long torso but I usually buy a size medium because a large is generally too loose. This leotard is ALMOST long enough for me in medium, which is much better than my other leotards. It's very comfortable and nice quality for the price. It's not lined, so I imagine the lighter colors could be a bit see-through, but I'm a little curvier than most dancers and it's still pretty supportive. Plus, the cut is lovely and the neckline is very flattering. Overall, I'm really pleased with it.

Very pleased with this leotard- it fits well with plenty of coverage under the arms, at the bust, and on the backside. Very soft and comfortable. Ordered an adult small for my 12 year old daughter, not quite 5 feet and 100 pounds and it fits great. Shipping super fast- ordered on Thursday and received on Saturday.

I haven't worn it for rehearsal or class yet, but I tried it on. It is a very comfy leo, and It fits great! I am 5'3 and 105 lbs, a 34A, and everything fits pretty well. The leg holes are a bit small, but not that bad. The only thing about this leo, as I ordered it in white, is that the back is kind of see-through. The front is fine, because it has a liner, but that back is see-through, especially for a really tan person like me.

this is a pretty good leotard. I don't love it, but I don't have any major problems with it. I ordered one in white, and its fairly see-through, especially around the stomach. I have to wear a nude undergarment. But other than that, its very comfy and supportive. The wide straps give it good support and i like the way it looks from the back. Sizing was almost spot on.

I purchased four of these leos for my daughter (one each in black, yellow, purple, and red). She loves them! They all fit exacly the same which is to say great! The straps stay in place, the leo doesn't ride...it's just a very comfortable, easy to move in fit. They all have a full front lining which is very nice but be forewarned that the yellow is still slightly see-thru (not so bad to need returned but enough to have to wear shorts or a skirt with). We will be purchasing more of these in the future!

I own this leotard in black and garnet. I always have to buy a large in leotards, but they're generally a little too wide. This one fits perfectly. I also love the sweetheart neckline and wider straps. This is a great all-purpose leotard.

Can you provide the length from shoulder straps to crotch for the various sizes (just sizes M and L will do)? I'm trying to find a leo that is comfortable for a longer torso.

Natalie leotard are not reccomended for longer torsos as they run on the petitie side. I would reccommend going with a tall size in a Bloch or Capezio leotard, or ordering Body Wrappers (as they tend to run small waisted but longer in the girth). The best way to find what leotard will be proportionate to your body is to measure your girth measurement. You can do this with a tape measure. Start at the top of one of your shoulders, bring the tape down the front of your body down to your crotch, back between your leg and up your backside up to the same place you started at (at the top of the shoulder). You will see the girth measurement listed on each leotard to see which one will best coorelate with your measurements.
