Description
Elegant, timeless and designed to move beautifully, the DellaLo Milano Dafne GL in Nero is a refined ballet leotard that perfectly balances classical styling with contemporary Italian craftsmanship.

DellaLo Milano Dafne Ballet Leotard - Nero, Created for Dancers Who Demand More
The classic Nero black base is elevated by delicate sheer mesh embroidered with vibrant blue floral motifs, creating a striking contrast that catches the light without distracting from the dancer's technique. Sophisticated, understated and endlessly versatile, it's a colourway that belongs in every serious dancer's wardrobe.
Handcrafted in Italy, Dafne is designed to support movement with exceptional comfort while celebrating the beauty of classical ballet lines.
Why Dancers Love Dafne
- Exclusive Golden Label Iconic Collection.
- Elegant deep V-neckline creates a beautifully elongated neckline.
- Double-layer front offers additional support, comfort and confidence.
- Soft short sleeves gently frame the shoulders without restricting movement.
- Deep pinched V-shaped back enhances posture and upper-body extension.
- Exclusive embroidered floral stretch tulle with refined transparency.

Beautiful Lines from Every Angle
Dafne has been carefully designed to enhance the natural elegance of every dancer.
The deep V-neckline lengthens the neckline and creates a graceful, flattering silhouette, while the double-layer front provides a smooth, supportive fit that feels secure throughout every class and rehearsal. Delicate embroidered tulle introduces lightness across the shoulders, adding beautiful texture while maintaining the clean lines expected of a professional ballet leotard.
Turn around and the elegant pinched V-shaped back becomes the defining feature, naturally highlighting posture, épaulement and the expressive quality of every port de bras.
Professional Performance Every Day
Luxury dancewear should perform as beautifully as it looks.
Made from premium Italian warp-knit performance fabric, Dafne offers excellent four-way stretch, breathability and long-lasting shape retention. The close-fitting silhouette follows every movement naturally through pliés, pirouettes, développés and grand allegro, while the breathable embroidered mesh helps keep the upper body cool during long rehearsals.
The result is a leotard that feels supportive, elegant and comfortable from the first exercise at the barre to the final curtain call.
Why You'll Love Nero
Black never goes out of style, but Dafne gives it a fresh perspective. The deep Nero base creates a sleek, sophisticated foundation, while the vibrant blue floral embroidery introduces subtle colour and artistic detail. The result is timeless balletwear with a modern couture finish.
Pair it with a flowing black, navy or charcoal rehearsal skirt for a polished studio look, or wear it simply with ballet pink tights to let the embroidery become the focal point.
