I love purchasing things online, as there is so much more of a selection than you would get walking into a small ballet stockist-type store. When I was growing up ballet leotards were all much of a muchness – black or pink and not much choice in style.
Nowadays you can get such pretty ballet leotards, and even the examination bodies have become more flexible in what you are allowed to wear for your ballet examinations. They are also built for comfort, like never before.
Here are some wonderful examples of pretty ballet leotards that are available online. Simply click on the link or on the picture to find out more.

What To Look For In A Ballet Leotard
Here are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing a ballet leotard.
- Lycra and Spandex are my personal favorites, as they keep their shape well and are comfortable to wear.
- Make sure the leotard is both stretchy and flexible so it moves with your body as you dance.
- Velour is a fabric accent that’s a popular choice for leotards. Additionally, there are a variety of patterns such as glittered, shiny, and printed fabrics that can add a great deal of visual appeal to your dance leotard, but it depends on how showy you need your leotard to be.
- Meshing is another way to add pretty accents to a leotard or costume and it is also strong, soft, and lightweight. I would however treat it with care and hand wash only.
- The leotard should feel comfortable like a second skin once on and should not creep if you get a good fit.
- Make sure that any embellishments on the leotard are soft and do not prick or cause discomfort in any way.
- Having inner support is always a great idea if you don’t want to wear a bra with the leotard.
- If the leotard is a light color, make sure that it is lined so that it doesn’t become see-through if it gets wet.
