Most dancers who say leotards don't work for them may have been wearing the wrong style. Neckline, sleeve length, and coverage vary enough between styles that it genuinely matters which one you choose. The Basic Customizable leotard is built around that idea. So when you choose, start with the neckline as each option does something different on the floor:
➡️ Boatneck - sits wider across the collarbone, elegant in ballroom frame, highlights the shoulder line
➡️ Scoop neck - open and classic, works across styles, relaxed but polished
➡️ V-neck - draws the eye down, elongates the neckline, adds a slightly more dressed-up feel
➡️ Mock neck - clean and minimal, great for dancers who want coverage at the neck without feeling restricted
➡️ Round neck - simple and versatile, the everyday workhorse
Then choose your sleeve length from long to short, and your bottom cut in panties or shorts depending on what's more comfortable to you. When you choose Easy Move fabric your leotard will feel second-skin soft, lightweight, and breathable enough for the longest practice days.
If arm coverage in frame is the issue, the Basic Fancy has raglan mesh sleeves that handle it without adding bulk. For something a little more dressed up, add ruffle cuffs for a polished look on the floor. And for the lightest option, choose sleeveless Basic Light leotard with a mesh back.
All with secure snap closure.
