Why You’ll Love the Intermezzo Ilaria Ballet Leotard

• Delicate cap sleeves: Narrow front shoulder sections widen gently over the tops of the arms for a softly framed shoulder line.
• Pink floral flocking: Fine flowers decorate the front, shoulders and back against black tulle.
• High sheer back: The floral panel extends down to a low curved edge, creating a beautiful back view.
• Soft Meryl stretch body: A smooth, comfortable feel with flexibility for everyday ballet movement.
• Full front soft lining: Adds coverage beneath the floral front, while the cap sleeves and back panel remain sheer and unlined.

Intermezzo Ilaria – Ballet Styling & Fit

Part of the Intermezzo Briar Collection, Ilaria looks lovely with a blush ballet skirt that picks up the pink flowers. A simple black wrap skirt keeps the outfit understated and lets the shoulder detail shine.

Fit advice: Generally true to size with a close, body-hugging fit. Follow the Intermezzo size chart and check that the shoulders feel comfortable as you lift your arms.

• Main body: Meryl - 92% polyamide, 8% elastane.
• Decorative front, shoulders and back: Floral flocked tulle with soft pink detailing.
• Lining: Full front soft lining

The Meryl percentages apply to the main body fabric and should not be applied to the tulle or lining.

Generally true to size. Follow the Intermezzo size chart, comparing your bust/chest, waist, hips and girth with the brand’s measurements.

Ilaria should sit close to the body, with the round neckline lying smoothly and the cap sleeves resting gently over the tops of the shoulders. Give particular attention to girth so the torso has the right length.

When checking the fit, raise your arms through port de bras. The tulle should feel comfortable across the shoulders and back, without pulling at the neckline or underarms.

Follow the garment label first. To protect the floral flocking and sheer tulle, our gentle-care recommendation is:

Hand wash cold with a mild detergent.
Wash with similar colours and avoid prolonged soaking.
Do not rub or scrub the flocked flowers.
Keep the tulle away from jewellery, hook-and-loop fastenings and rough surfaces.
Avoid bleach, fabric softener, twisting and wringing.
