The YUMIKO Alicia V-Neck Ballet Leotard in Black combines kimono-inspired lines with soft contrast detailing. Misty Rose crushed velvet outlines the front and back V-necklines, while shaped underbust seams give the bodice definition. Broader shoulder straps, front lining and a high-cut leg complete this sleeveless ballet leotard for class and rehearsal.

Best For: Ballet class • Studio rehearsals • Broader shoulder coverage • Moderate compression • Defined front and back styling

Why Dancers Love the YUMIKO Alicia

• A beautifully shaped front: The V-neckline and curved underbust seams create a tailored appearance within a flexible stretch leotard.
• A broader shoulder line: Wide straps offer more shoulder coverage than a fine camisole while leaving the arms uncovered.
• Soft contrast against Black: Misty Rose crushed velvet adds pale blush colour and delicate texture along the neckline and arm openings.
• Comfortable studio hold: Moderate compression, good support and front lining make this colourway appealing for regular class and rehearsal.

YUMIKO Alicia Black Leotard – Fabric & Fit

The smooth stretch nylon body follows the torso with a close, supportive feel. Matching Black upper and lower panels keep the colour continuous, allowing the shaped seams to define the bodice. The kimono influence comes through the neckline and construction; Alicia is a pull-on design with no wrap ties to adjust.

At the back, a deep V-neckline leaves the centre exposed, with Misty Rose velvet tracing the opening. The high-cut leg sits higher at the hip, completing the streamlined silhouette.

This version offers moderate compression, good support and good body coverage. Front lining adds a layer through the front without lining the entire garment. Compare your measurements with the YUMIKO size chart, checking torso length, bust and shoulder fit. Individual fit, support and opacity may vary.

Styling Black & Misty Rose

Black provides an easy foundation for your studio wardrobe, while the blush-toned velvet gives Alicia a softer finish. Pair it with ballet pink tights and a pale pink rehearsal skirt to echo the trim, or choose a black skirt to keep attention on the V-neckline and seaming. Soft grey warm-ups complement both colours.

Dance World Tip: Try your chosen skirt at different waistband heights to find a position that leaves the shaped underbust seams visible and feels comfortable through movement.

Use the YUMIKO size chart as a starting point, alongside your experience with a familiar YUMIKO style. The brand notes that different designs can suit different body proportions, so the fit of one model is not a guarantee of the fit of another.
Alicia Fit Note: This is the sleeveless Alicia variation. The neckline and underbust seams create the shape of the bodice; they are not adjustable wrap sections.

Wash by hand in cold water using a very mild detergent. Dry flat, without ironing or tumble drying. Follow the garment’s care label for any additional instructions.

Colour Care: Take care with the pale Misty Rose trim alongside the Black body. YUMIKO advises that combinations of very light and dark fabrics can be susceptible to colour transfer.
