Adult Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Leotard

Male ballet dancer with slim upper body and huge thighs from ballet and power lifting. Runs a little small but comfy. Could be a little wider in the upper thigh area but otherwise, nice leotard.

I have a long torso and it’s difficult to find leotards that don’t ride up at the bottom, smoosh my chest, or cut into my shoulders—all at the same time! The 1x fits perfect in the girth, arms and chest. There’s a little more width in the waist and rear than I need but the leo stays put. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the purchase especially since the same leo in XL was such a disappointment (very short in girth).

I'm pleased with the fabric quality. I've seen others that were too thin and flimsy. This one has a nice weight to it and holds it's shape well. I'm normally a size 14 or a large - extra large in clothing, but I figured leotards might be based more on junior fashion sizes so I ordered a 1X. It fits nicely. The neckline is lovely. Wish they had other dark colors, like a deep purple color. Love the added shelf lining, too.

I am so happy with this leo! I typically wear a street size 16 and I am very picky about my leotards look. I ordered a 1X, which fit beautifully. I am short (5'0) and the leo isn't too long for my torso, which I really appreciate. I really like that the sweetheart neckline can be adjusted, so I can move it up or down to hide whatever bra I have on under. The material smoothes out my shape nicely and is very soft. The material is also thick and quite opaque without any shiny finish. This has become my favorite leo.

I prefer a leotard with at least a short sleeve. I like to cover my arms and I HAVE to wear a bra in class. I got this because I thought it would be a nice change and would work well in the winter months. I was right on those accounts. I ordered a 2x, but probably could have gotten away with a 1x everywhere except for the arms. The bottom is almost baggy, and there is plenty of room everywhere except the arms are more snug. Not in any way restrictive to my movement. I can easily wear a well-supportive sports bra under this (I'm a 38DD), but some of my higher cut sports bras would start to peek through the top of the sweetheart neckline toward the end of class if I wasn't paying attention. Overall very flattering and comfortable. I always wear a skirt but if I happened to forget one I would feel confident enough in this leo to be able to get through class.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who wanted some plus size shape wear. They are a size 22/24 and the 2X fit so well. Looks great on and gives awesome support and smoothes out their curves beautifully!

I wear a street size 16/18, so it's hard to find a leotard. I'm also a triple-D, which makes finding good support even harder. This leotard gets the job done. The material is a little thick, so if your studio runs warm it may be uncomfortable to dance in outside the winter months. It feels good on otherwise, and I would say offers a slight amount of tummy control thanks to the way it's cut. I do feel like breast support is rather lacking, though. I wouldn't make this my go-to leo, but it's a good option to have.

My 15 year old daughter has a hard time finding a leotard that fits her because she is bigger than most girls her age. We got her 2x and it is wonderful.

I really like this leotard, which is flattering to my curvy figure. However, I wish I'd ordered it in an XL, rather than a 1X. I am about 5'4" tall and I weigh 152 pounds, and the top was a little large on me.

I just tried on my new leotard and it fits great. The main reason I bought this leotard is to hide my middle-age upper arm "bat wings" and this leotard does that perfectly. It also provides support in that area. I'm reserving one star for performance wear, because I haven't worn it in class yet, but I think it's going to be great. The neckline is flattering and if you're busty like me, it gives good coverage. Also there's plenty of room for deep penche and other lower body movements without the leotard riding up. I definitely recommend this leotard. I bought the 2X size and I wear a size 16 in street clothes. I will buy another one in the future.

This runs very small. Ordered the 1X thinking that since I usually wear XL this would be fine. Very tight. Upsize by a few sizes...I wouldn't order it!

I love this leo. It's comfortable and the princess lining slims you. I normally wear a medium but I wear a large for this Leo. All and all great leo and not too expensive either. Great for practice.

I am an adult figure skater and decided to go the leo + skirt route as a cheaper alternative to buying skating dresses for practice. This leo looks very elegant with the neckline and princess seaming. The pinch front is adjustable. I won't feel comfortable wearing it without a bra, but there is enough shoulder to hide bra straps. It feels like it will be a good weight for skating in, so I don't know if it would be too warm for dancing in a studio. :) I am a 12-14 and the 1X fits just right.
