Still a little small
by: M - 04/04/2019
Comfort: 
Durability:
Fit: Runs small
The description recommended to size up, while my girth matched a size small on the size chart, I got a medium. It's very compression-y and still digs into my shoulders despite having sized up! I'm going to keep it but I would be nervous about getting a larger size in case its too baggy. It's fine for my hour long practice but once I get home I want to take it off almost immediately.

Runs very small however it feels very durable. Quality of fabric is excellent. Sized up for growth room and still had to return for a larger size.

This leo is really nice. It is a very shiny material which I didn't know but I like it. It looks super small but actually stretches quite a bit and is very slimming. I have a very long torso and it is the perfect size. I will definitely be buying more!

This leotard's quality is AMAZING for the price. It doesn't slip, or do anything you wouldn't want a leotard to do. The front and back come up higher than I expected but it was okay because it isn't very hot it is quite breathable. I'm about four 11 and I ordered a small and it fits me perfectly! The purple is beautiful!!!! It also has a bust panel and is supportive.

I got this leotard 2 years ago and it's still in perfect condition. I'm 5'3 and 105 lbs. and the small size fits just right. The fabric doesn't show sweat stains, even after really long rehearsals. A really good basic leotard. Great quality, great price.

Love this leotard!
by: CynthiaK - 09/06/2014
Comfort:
Durability:
I bought one in black - probably about a year ago. I found myself wearing it the other day and thought that I need to get another one because I just love the fit and fabric.
So I got the ballet pink and love it!
Note that the pink does NOT have a shelf bra - but full front lining. I think that front lining makes it fit/feel a little smaller than the black.

Runs smaller than the chart suggests
by: musicilia2 - 08/10/2014
Comfort:
XL would have been better.: I ordered a "Large," which should have been perfect according to the size-chart. However, the leotard was simply a bit too small when I tried it on. While it did sort of fit, it felt like it was stretching to the max and would leave marks on my shoulders. Not good when you want to stretch and dance - so I sent it back. Otherwise it seemed like a good leotard.

Perfect fit

I have a long torso, but the size guide on this was perfect. This is a very comfortable leotard. I am super happy with this leotard, especially for the price. My only complaint is that the fabric near one shoulder has a strange line on it, but since I just got it for teaching and layering under a tunic, I decided not to worry about it.

I read the reviews before buying and decided to get a medium instead of a small, like I normally would get. Definitely a good decision, it fits great (I'm 5'1 and 115 pounds).
The material has a nice feel and seems like it's going to last a long time. It's stretchy and sleek, and very flattering too.
Would recommend!

LOVE IT
by: dancegirllll - 06/03/2013
Comfort:
Durability:
I'm on the curvy side, so I got a medium, and I love it. It feels like a swimsuit--like the high quality, $80 kind. It's tight, so that my breasts are smooched down a bit (I have a full C cup--in class that's not a good thing), but the shelf bra is supportive enough that I don't need a bra (although I usually use body tights...). The only thing is, it's not very flattering. It's a good leo for class, but not important things like auditions, or intensive, or things you REALLY want to impress.

Firstly, I have the classic hourglass shape with a larger hip/thigh/butt, tiny waist and larger bust/shoulders which makes finding great fit difficult no matter what my dress size! I used to be a size 10-11 and even at that smaller size, most leos would cut into my butt/legs and make weird lines (even with tights) and ALWAYS gapped in the back. THIS LEO IS AMAZING!!! I am now a size 14-16 and the XL does not gap at all between my larger butt and smaller waist nor does it cut into my legs and butt... even without tights! Also, I have full range of movement in the shoulders and my 38 D cups were nice and snug without having that icky squashed look. AMAZING!!!! BUY BUY BUY!

I got this for myself and I love it! It's comfortable,modest,and durable. The ballet cut leg is great you just have to fix the "underwear showing" thing. I'm 5'6" and 113 lbs. and I got a small but I would definatly recommond a medium for tall and skinny girls like me. It fits fine its just the girth was small because I have a longer torso. No other complaints! The black is a nice black. And it works great for all types of dances. And you don't have to wear a bra but you can if you want.

I bought this leotard at the beginning of this semester. I'm 5'4'' and I got a small and it fit good. The complaint I have with it is that it shows every little thing. You can see your underwear line, tight line, any "belly" etc.. it's also pretty high up on the sides so your underwear constantly shows.
It is really comfortable, but I don't think I'll buy any more of these again!

I just started ballet about a year ago and was looking for a cheap leotard in case I didn't like dance. I ordered this and I absolutely hated it! The fabric is itchy and doesn't fit well. I wore it about twice then I couldn't take it anymore. I recently sold it at a garage sale. I don't know if I will ever buy a Dance Department leo again!

This leo is very shiny and itchy. I agree with one person who said it feels like a swimsuit! I got a Medium, and it looked huge and way too long! But once I put it on, it was VERY tight. It was so tight and thin that it showed where my tights' weist band came up and everything. I only wore this once and haven't worn it again, I suggest getting a cotton leo. Never poly/spandex!

Great price for this leotard. The fabric has a shiny sheen to it. Looks long in the the torso but it fit me perfectly and even "held in" my stomach a little and gives me a nice shape. Shelf bra is OK, but as someone with a bigger chest (B) I think I'll wear a bra underneath. Seams look durable. Really nice!

It fit all right, but it was just really uncomfortable. The sleeves were really annoying, and they itched badly. Of course, what'd you expect from a leotard so cheap? My advice: If you're going to buy it, only use it for class, not performing.

Five stars for fit!!! I am 5'10" and weigh 110 lbs and have a very long torso(58in). This is the first leo that didn't dig into my shoulders and cause extreme discomfort. The only thing that was weird is this really odd smell that won't go away and we've washed it several times. Runs true to size; I usually wear a medium and this one fits too. I'm SO happy with this leotard, and you should totally get it if you have a long torso. (It looks cuter than on the model.) Wish there were more colors. If you think Meryl nylon is soft, try this one!
