10/23/2019This leotard is good except for the area where the straps meet the top of the bodice in the front. Wore once and the stitching was super itchy. Seems like a super simple and cheap way of sewing the straps to the bodice. Would not buy again due to the itch factor.

07/29/2015I ordered this leotard for my 10yr old who is 5' and very slim #GAP slim#. And, took her measurements right before the order. When I looked at the measurements for Adult XS, thought it would be slightly loose and if she grows tall in 6 months for her nutcracker performance...would fit her. boy was I surprised when I received this one...it looks like a child size and the straps are tugging on her shoulders...there is no way that the size can fit anyone with 54" in girth like the sizing shows. All these sizes are sooo off!!! This is the second time sizing was off on leotards and returns are a hassle with shipping fees, so though the attraction to buy from this site is cheaper prices than store bought, I am beginning to wonder if it is worth the hassle.
Why aren't the sizes true to the measurements provided in the size charts?

04/23/2015What my daughter wanted most was the leo not to be see through. This has a full front lining and makes her feel well covered. She uses it for wearing underneath costumes to make changes easy. This seems to run a little bit bigger than other brands of leos she wears like Bloch, Mirella, Natalie.

01/31/2015I used these under my costume for a performance and it worked great! I'm a little on the bigger side for a dancer, so camisoles always show some back fat, especially with my D cup chest, but they worked nicely under my costume to smooth out the lines. I gave it 5 stars for durability because I yanked on the leotard quite a bit while trying to get my D girls to fit right, and it was still very comfortable, and for such a great price as well! I definitely recommend.

08/06/2014Overall this leotard is pretty good its thin enough to go underneath costumes for recital but thick enough to wear in dance class. The only thing I will say is that this leo runs a bit small so for example, if you are normally a size Child Large get it in an Adult Small. Because I bought it in my normal size and it turned out being pretty small but not small enough to the point where I couldn't wear it. But overall, its a good leotard.

04/14/2014This leotard seems to have the usual good quality of Capezio. Very satisfied with the material and craftsmanship. I do have one stipulation, the straps are closer to the middle of the body (as opposed to closer to the shoulders). I don't personally think it looks as good that way as my other leo's that are further out on the shoulders. The black one has a shelf bra and is very supportive. The white one they sent has no shelf bra. just a full front lining, so I will definitely need to wear a sport bra in it if I will be doing leaps ( I am a 34 c/d and don't like them not supported#. also, it is just a tad smaller than some of my other mediums. I am 5 foot 5 and weigh 140 #gained weight after prolonged illness recently). The medium fits fine but some may prefer the leo in large. I plan to lose a few and am happy with the fit. Overall, it is comfortable, well made, and good quality. Happy with it.

02/27/2014This leotard is comfortable and it has lasted me about 2 years so far. The only thing is sometimes the straps slide off and also I don't like how the fabric droops down where the straps connect with the top of it, its a bit unattractive. Other than that its an awesome leotard at a great price!

02/19/2014I got this leo on a whim, in hopes that it would fit, and it did! For the clearance price, it's a steal! I'm in the B/C range but I opted to wear a bra with it to my ballet class. Granted, I am just in beginning ballet so I don't really do a ton of movement across the floor with it so I don't really know how well it would hold up for others doing more advanced stuff. I would definitely recommend it though! I only gave it 4 stars in durability since I've only had it for 2 weeks and don't really know how it will holp up yet.

12/04/2013I really enjoy this leotard because it is comfortable and easy to move in. I am able to extend all my movements and I own multiple of them because they are perfect for a dance workout. A lot of other girls from my studio own this leotard as well because it is of great quality and comfort. This leotard is also very afforadable and definitely worth the purchase. However, I would prefer they came in a color for some variety.

10/06/2013I got this leo in small in black, and nude. I'm normally and XS, but I'm so glad that I sized up. It worked great for a while. But after a few washes it got a tad bit smaller. When I do stretches that involve leaning to the side, the strap slides off my shoulder, and when i bend back, my boobs almost fall out of it. The cut looks awkward on my body type too. It's super comfy though, so that was a huge plus side. :)
I would definitely recommend it in the color nude for performances. I've never had a nude leotard actually fit me correctly. (yay!)

08/30/2013Good leotard for a good price. I know it says not to machine wash/dry but I've done that a bunch of times lol so it's also durable. I've had it for two years I believe and it's in perfect condition.
But beware, the neckline is quite low, so bras of any kind are pretty much impossible to wear with it without it showing.

07/30/2013I had to bought this leotard for a certain dress code, and it looks nice, but it is not flattering at all. The legs are very low-cut so it makes your torso look longer than what it really is. The straps are also unusually long, so you may want to get a size smaller. The leotard looks very nice when you just stand, but it is extremely uncomfortable when you are dancing. It usually falls down, and it makes your body look very unflattering. I would probably recommend not buying this.

07/23/2013I bought this leotard for a summer program, in both white and black, but I was surprised it made it though 3 weeks. As others have mentioned, the leotard body sticks out from the straps, but i was faced with another problem, the strap came off the leotard ON STAGE. When I walked on the leotard was in tact but afterwards the strap was completely detached from the body. Thankfully, I was able to sew them back together before I went on stage again but I was rather disappointed that it came off in the first place. I wouldn't recommend this for anything other than wearing under costumes.

06/20/2013It's a simple cut. I have this in black and nude. I sewed a few extra stitches where straps attach to the leotard so that the body material doesn't pucker out (as many others have complained already). Otherwise it is fairly durable.

06/11/2013This is a beautiful leotard that runs true to size and is made of nylon and very comfortable. I bought the black and it has washed very well without the color changing as some black tends to do. I am going to buy another one.

03/11/2013This leotard is definitely a budget buy! For the price it is not a bad product, but it is quite cheaply made. After one use, it had loose strings hanging from it. Also, where the straps are sewn to the leo, it folds out a bit. The straps are sewn to the inside about a half inch down, and the fabric above folds out. I found that the top half was too large, while the bottom half fit snugly. The lining came to my mid-stomach, and the straps slipped of very, very easily. These were the only things that made it uncomfortable. The fabric was fine, the straps were soft.

12/28/2012I got this leotard in small, in the color black. I am 5'7'' 110 pounds and it fits perfectly! The only thing is wherever the straps meets the body of the leotard, the top piping, or seaming like, pops up and looks a little wierd! But i get over it! I also love the material, except be after a couple weeks #i dance 6 classes a week# You get little fuzz balls on it. That's no biggy though, just take a clothing shaver, and your all good#:

10/10/2012I ordered this leotard in nude, because some of my costumes for ballet are sheer. I love this! You don't have to fiddle around with disconnecting straps or weird padding. It's just a basic leotard that happens to be skin colored. Also unbelievably comfortable, not straps digging into the shoulders!

09/04/2012My mom bought this for me years ago, because it was a steal and I was growing so I was doing to grow out of it any way. It is very simple and I liked it as it is confertable and looks nice. It has grown with me and I am still wareing it as a dancer doing into ballet level 6. I would not reamend it for any one who has lots of experance just because its so simple. But if your just starting out and don't want to spend a bucket load or you are still growing this would be great for you!!

07/30/2012I got this leotard in black and sixe small i beleive, It fits well every where but the die in it rubbed off into my tights, but that's okay! I like the material alot but where the straps meet the leotard...it's just wierd, because the seaming on the leotard part flips down, and it makes the leotard look to small there, and i know it's not actually to small for me because i'm 5' 6'' #tall for 13# only 108 pounds, pretty flat chested with a 50 something inch girth and long legs...so i know this leo isn;t to small for me, i don't know i guess i'll just sew or glue the seaming to the rest of the straps so it doesn't flap, but i wish that it would have already been on there when i ordered it. Overall, good leo!

07/03/2012Bought around January-ish. Started ripping on the seam in the back within a couple months. I had to re-sew and fabric glue it to have it hold up for the rest of the year. By the last month it re-ripped and was barely wearable. Would never get this one again. I have never had a leotard in such a short amount of time.

06/15/2012This was one of the first leotards I ever owned. It was and still is the most durable Leo I have. Despite the quality of it though, I have never liked the look on me. I'm 5'1, 100 pounds and a 32 b.I felt that this leo made me look bulky. Maybe this would look better with a flat chest. Also if you sweat, the fabric can tend to stick to your body. When I recived the Leo was around 5'1, 88 pounds. I still felt then that it looked bulky. This is the only leotard I own that can stand 27 hours of pure ballet without breaking though!

04/24/2012I have had this leo in black for almost 3 years now. I've worn it at least once a week since I bought it and this year I've worn it more often. When I first bought the leo I shortened the straps as they were always falling down my shoulders. I also tacked the piping on the front to the strap with a few quick stitches. Other than those two small issues I have loved this leotard and it still looks great. I bought the XL as I am 5'7" weight 170.

03/07/2012I got this leotard in white about 9 months ago, and I have many pros, and only two cons. The cons are that it is a little see-through, but that's to be expected of a white leotard, but I always wear it with black tights over it because you can see the tights line if you wear them under. Con#2 is that there's a slight hole on the left side of the leotard's seam, but it's very minor and I was able to re-sew it. I didn't like the look of the square neckline on me, so I made it a pinch front. Overall, this leotard is very comfortable, hides sweat marks, is breathable, moves with you, and is flattering on most people. I give it a 4.4 out of 5.
**To help with sizing: I am 5'5", 110lbs' and a 34A and the small fits really well.

02/04/2012It's an amazing Leotard, It truly is, but the only down fall is that if you have a large chest area or big boobs for a lack of description they will kind of be too much. I personally don't like my breast out when I dance or clevage showing so for me that was the only bad thing, but over all its amazing I loved it! and the sizing is very true.

12/19/2011This leotard is great. I have a pear shaped dancers body and this jest makes me look slimmer, and feel great. I get a lot of complements on how this leo looks on me. A bunch of other students at my studio own this leotard. Some of the girls are 11 and they are as skinny as a tooth pick and even with the childs s ( they all have very long tousosos) its still way to baggy.

One pro- the material.

11/06/2011I went away for the summer for the first time this year, and I had to purchase a white leotard, and I figured that this one would be a safe bet because I already own it in black. My only complaints are that when I had to wear the white one on stage, it was a little see-through, and that the straps are not fully attached. (I fixed my black one by sewing it and I love it)

06/11/2010I bought three leotards from Discount Dance around the same time and was most pleased with this one! The cut at the bottom doesn't ride up and the look is very flattering and slimming. The only thing to worry about is that the piping at the top lips out because it isn't fully attached to the straps, so it might show underneath a costume or warm-up. Other than that, it is my absolute favorite leotard to wear to an everyday dance class, and has held up surprisingly well so far.

12/20/2009I've worn the nude version as an undergarment for multiple performances, and it works well. My only issue is that because of its high back, it doesn't go well underneath all costumes. For me, I'll look into buying another nude camisole leotard with a lower back. If you can just buy one nude leotard that works with everything, though, go for it instead.

Maine,I was doing a routine that involved some sliding on the floor so I wanted a leo that I would not feel bad about getting dirty or possibly ripped. Not only has it survived time and time again, it's really comfortable. I have one in all three colors. The nude is great for quick changes but the white is really see-through. If you are looking for a nude cami or a plain black that is economical, it's worth a try!

10/27/2008I had this leotard since January and I still am wearing it today(October). I bought it at the store instead of online so I wouldn't get a "bad" leotard. My only complaint is how the straps are long! Or maybe that is because I bought it in a medium instead of a small because I couldn't find small at the store. I easily fixed that by tying the two straps together.

New York City,I recently bought this leotard in black and I LOVE it. One of the straps came partially unsewn (luckily I noticed before I wore it to class that day) but it was no problem to sew it back. I was a little unsure of the fabric but after wearing it a few times, I actually like it a lot. It fits great and stays up in the front very well. I highly recommend this leotard - it's very simple and flattering.

03/24/2007I bought this at a Capezio outlet, and fell in love with it! The material is really soft. It isn't made of the typical fabric, so it's very breathable and feels like a second skin. What I like is that whenever I lean back in a cambre, it stretches and stays put, so there's no need to pin the straps anymore! Definitely a great choice for a basic leotard.
