Walla Walla,WAThis a great leo - it's part of a costume for an upcoming show. The only issue I see is that the mesh is pretty low on the front. It works for my 12y but it seems like it would be a bit low if you were larger chested. I don't really know how durable it is as she really hasn't worn it yet (the show is in 2 weeks).

09/21/2017This leotard is very comfy, but the mesh part of it can be a little snug around the arms. I'm 5'1", about 115lbs, and I got a size M. It fit perfectly on me, but might be a little too short for those with a longer torso. I was afraid that the mesh might tear during class after reading the other reviews, but it went well for me after dance class! This leotard kept me really warm. It was a cold and rainy day, and it kept me warm without my sweater! I absolutely love this leotard, and would recommend it. Might suggest that people who have a longer torso to go one size up.

08/14/2017This leotard is tricky because it fit everywhere but the sleeves. The sleeves are tight on my arms. The mesh is not sewn very well, mine came with a hole in the shoulder. The black part of the neck line on the front is shown in the picture to have a bit of a sweetheart neckline, but it is really just one curve across the top. Unless you have tiny arms, I wouldn't really recommend this leo.

08/06/2017I have never been more in love with a leotard brand besides Natalie! They are the most gorgeous leotards and always fit just right! This leotard in paticular is stunning not only online but also on! The back has such a unique design and I love the Nude and Black combination! Such a nice fit and very true to size!

07/28/2015The company i work for bought be one to wear in a performance, and the first thing that really stood out was that its itchy EVERYWHERE! and i understand that mesh can get itchy, but another mesh leotard i own doesn't get itchy until 5 hours of classes and rehearsals. When talking to other girls about the leo, they easily breaks, especially in the arms, and it rarely fits anyone well.
The main problem i have with it is that it does not cover anybody's breasts well. Not mine, not the 10 year olds, it just cannot cover anybodys nipples to the point where it's a gigantic problem on stage.
This isnt the kind of leotard for someone who wants a long term leo, or something that will fit well, or even a leotard in general. Its a huge disappointment. itd be a better investment to find another leo that might be abit more pricey but will last longer and not break so easily

06/10/2015When I opened the package initially, my first thought was, it's too small because I am tall with a long torso. However, when I tried it on, the leotard fit perfectly!

03/13/2015So, prior to writing this I had ordered a petite and was so excited to get it! Put it on and wore it to one dance class and, under the arms ripped and I got the worst wedgies ever! This experience only occurred because, I ordered it too small. When ordering this be sure to order the right size because, it can be very uncomfortable to wear small and it will rip so make sure that it fits just right :) I got my new one in the mail last week and it is soo much better! Make sure to wash it right and when putting it on to be careful of pulling really hard on the mesh that can also cause breakage. <3

11/09/2014I would not recommend this leotard. It shows sweat really bad, and comes down too low in the front. After wearing it a few times, the mesh under the arms rips. It is a really pretty leotard, but it just isn't good enough quality.

09/09/2014I've only worn it once, but here's what I can tell you so far. It's hard to get the sleeves on right if your body is hot and sweaty (I have another class right before ballet, and it was a pain to get on). The neckline is pretty high, but you get used to it as you wear it. The mesh is very soft, but if you're flat chested like me, it's pretty low cut. I washed and dried mine in the machine because the tag on the leotard says that's okay, but the mesh is starting to fray now, so I definitely don't recommend that; hand wash like DDS says to. It's a cute leotard though and I got a lot of compliments for it.

06/03/2014When I wear this leo I can either wear the back like the model (slightly higher) and have the bottom ride up quite a bit, or I can pull the back down super low and have it cover everything. When I pull it down the back gets super low so be prepared for that. The mesh on the arms is a bit itchy, but not terribly so. I saw a girl on Glee wear this leo once. Just putting that out there.

02/27/2014I have worn this leotard only once and there is already a 1/2 inch hole in the arm pit area. It should have a higher quality of mesh so the it wouldn't tear like that. It is comfortable other than the fact that you can feel your sweat stains on the leotard. It is a beautiful leotard, but it is not very durable. :(

12/26/2013I got this leo for Christmas along with body-wrappers rip stops.(also highly recommended) So far I'm very pleased with it. the mesh isn't that itchy type and it is a matchy-matchy color with the leo. (not gray mesh with a black leo) The bodice is EXTREMELY comfortable. It is really soft. The only issue for me was, on the model, the mesh-to-bodice line was a soft, curved line. Since I am very flat-chested, it was just a straight line on me. Not as pretty. Overall I am (so far) very pleased with this leotard!

10/23/2013This leo runs short in the torso. I'm only 5'2" and I couldn't get this leo on. The mesh piece across the shoulders is a single piece and prevents you from slipping it over your head. Beautiful but design flaw.

08/13/2013I'm 5'4 and 95 pounds and I ordered a small. It fits pretty well, not perfect. I like the way it looks on me. I always get really hot while wearing this leotard for a long day of classes. It's probably better to wear in the Winter. The mesh on the seams is fraying :(. I wish I could like this more....

07/02/2013I BOUGHT THIS TWICE
after owning it the first time, the mesh began to fray around the seams when I would wash it (after about 5 hand washes)
after owning it a second time, I got a hole in the armpit at the seam before I had even worn it more than three times
It was so comfortable and elegant (that's why I purchased it a second time) but is not a durable material at all

04/28/2013Two daughters both tried it on and are different shapes. The mesh came down too low on both and showed their breasts completely while simply standing! No way could you move in this without fear of a peep show!

03/07/2013I got this leo yesterday and I love it! I am totally wearing it to Saturday rehearsal this week! The only slight downer is that it seems kind of low and I hope it is ok for port de bras to the back/ Otherwise, it is extremely gorgeous!

02/18/2013I love this leo it is so pretty but it is so small! Size up definitely. Love the look though and its very supportive in the bust. I am 5'9 145 lbs and I need a large-X large. This would get a five in everything if it was the right size.

01/23/2013Very pretty and have received lots of compliments on this leo. I'm 5'6", 115 lbs, 34C chest. I ordered a small and it fits fine. I do not find the bottom riding up and I do not have any issues with the top staying in place throughout class. It's winter now, and surprisingly the mesh helps keep me nice and warm but it breathes too when you warm up. I haven't had it long enough to assess durability of the mesh.

01/11/2013This leotard looks really cute in the picture and when you have it on but it is extrememly ill-fitting. From looking at the picture, the front doesn't seem so low but it really is. You have to take up and sew the shoulders so it isn't so low, but then it just makes the leotard really short. Also the butt is really small on this leotard and rides up. Even after sewing it I could barely get it over my head! The material is soft, but the mesh isn't very durable.

01/04/2013I thought this leo was super cute and stylish online. I am 5' 2, 107 lb and I have a skinny upper body, but a larger lower body and I usually go with a small, but I thought it would be safe to go with a medium from reading other reviews. This leo just did not work with my body type at all! The butt of the leo is pretty small and I constantly felt it riding up in class. Also, the top part of this leo was too big for me and by the end of plies, I was 1 cm away from baring "the girls!" So I was constantly pulling up the top and pulling down the bottom which was super annoying!! It's such a shame because this leo looks very slimming and flattering on my friends who own it.

12/26/2012It's really hard to give this leo a rating when it's too small to tell whether it's comfortable OR durable. I gave this leo in a size medium to my daughter for Christmas. She is 5'6", 130lbs, with a short torso. She wears a medium in EVERYTHING dance related, so I never gave size a second thought. Well, it's too small. It's a beautiful leo and looks really great on her, but the torso is just too short for her. I will exchange it, though, as she loves the feel and design. It's incredibly beautiful on her... if only it fit. It's so annoying to have to pay extra postage returning and having a replacement sent; doubles the price of the leotard and often discourages me from getting the replacement leo, but in this case I'll do it because she loves the leotard.

12/20/2012I am a size 2 or 4, 5'4.5", and 120 lbs. I am considered quite slim!
I ordered this leotard in Medium, and tried it on. It is TINY. The shoulders are very narrow (and I have narrow shoulders), in other words the seam was inching up toward my neck. The rest of the leotard fit adequately but I had to be very careful getting out of it not to rip anything.
I didn't care for the style in the back, which was way too open. I guess I didn't look at the picture! I wish they made this with the back 1/2 mesh and 1/2 nylon/lycra like a standard leotard.
I do like the fabric compared to the cotton/spandex blend which I find much too thick and heavy.

12/15/2012The leotard is beautiful but very delicate. Under the armpit, tearing will happen and there will be a hole. It's very fragile, so I am sad that i will not be able to wear it often. It's really nice for once in a whiles... overall, makes anyone look good.

12/08/2012I had my eye on this leotard for about a year. But I must say, I was pretty disappointed when I received it!! I'm 5'4,115 pounds and ordered it in a small. The mesh sleeves are very tight and the rest of the leotard is pretty baggy all around.. It's just very ill-fitting. I'm guessing it would fit better on those with longer torso's. Also, the mesh under the arms ripped the very first time I wore it in rehearsal, and even again after I sewed it!! It feels really restricting, which gets annoying when you have 6 hour long rehearsals. Unless you simply cannot resist this adorable leo or must buy it, I wouldn't without trying it on first or making sure you can return it.

11/22/2012I love this leotard the fabric is a little thin but that was not a problem, the mesh at the top does not snag easily like a lot of other leotards with mesh that I've owned. It is also flattering on a lot of body types.

10/31/2012I love this leotard because its not like every other leotard I see! Every time I wear it to dance I get a lot of complements on it. It runs very true to size and fits very well. And even though it is long sleeve you wont get to hot because of the open back and mesh. The back does come down lower then in the picture but not low enough to show your tights and the bottom does have a higher cut but its nice because it makes your legs look longer. Over all I was very pleased with this Leo!

10/24/2012Felt all great up top. Once I started looking at my bottom, the leo was kind of...way up there. If I tried to pull it down a touch, the opening in the back would come down and expose way more of my lower back and tights. I still like to wear it, I just prefer a skirt over.

09/21/2012This leotard is very pretty, however, the mesh is really low cut. I just cut up a camisole and sewed the front part of it to the leotard so it covered more of my chest. The mesh is really nice and stretchy and the open back makes it nice and cool. I have gotten several comments on how pretty it is. I love it!

08/08/2012the leo is defiantly flattering and more on the comfortable side it's also just really unique looking I feel really good dancing in it there's an opening in the back so you don't die of a heat stroke but it still gets a bit hot.
the mesh is good quality and I'm not usually impressed with natalie leotards but i have to say I'm really glad I bought this

04/24/2012I absolutely LOVE this leotard! It is very comfortable but the only problem was the butt rises up on me. It isn't bad and still covers me up but it goes to mid cheeks sometimes... I wouldn't necassarily get a size up or anything but that was the only reason why I said it ran a little small. I am 117 lbs., a little under 5' 2'', 34 B, and the leotard was a little snug in a good way.... Definitely recommend this leotard! :D

03/26/2012I love this leotard! I am 5'6 and 110 lbs and ordered this in a small. It fit perfectly and is super comfortable too. The front mesh doesn't go too low and the back is very open. The only thing I would say is be careful about washing. The mesh feels fragile and could possibly rip if you wash it in a machine or pull on it too much. Otherwise, it is absolutely gorgeous and very elegant.

02/06/2012The leotard is beautiful on ! i got a small and I'm 5'6 108lbs. i wish it fit a little more snugg but it is a pretty good fit. the butt is super small and i feel like im wearing a thong when i wear it so i only wear it with black tights. DO NOT put it in the dryer even tho it says (Tumble Dry Low).. i made that mistake and the mesh is starting to fall apart and unravel. it seams the mesh part of the leo was cheaply made. it looks beautiful on but a bit of a hassel leotard.
