Rich burgundy velvet gives the Intermezzo India a lovely twist on the classic camisole ballet leotard. Curved panels gently frame the waist, while fine velvet straps and matching tulle add delicate detail. Soft Meryl fabric and full front lining keep it comfortable for everyday class and rehearsal.

Best For: Ballet classes • Rehearsals • Dancers who prefer fine straps • Velvet studio styling

Why You’ll Love the Intermezzo India Ballet Leotard

• Curved velvet panels: Sweep towards the waist to give the bodice a softly defined shape.
• Fine velvet straps: Create a delicate camisole line, leaving the shoulders and arms free for movement.
• Matching tulle details: A V-shaped front inset and tapered back panel add sheer contrast to the velvet.
• Soft Meryl fabric: Smooth side panels and a flexible lower body give a comfortable, close-fitting feel.
• Full front soft lining: Adds comfort and coverage through the body; the upper neckline and back tulle insert remain sheer.

Intermezzo India – Ballet Styling & Fit

Part of the Intermezzo Velour Collection, India pairs beautifully with pale pink tights and a plain black wrap skirt. Simple layers let the curved velvet panels and open back take the focus.

Fit advice: Generally true to size with a close, body-hugging fit and moderate support. Follow the Intermezzo size chart and check that the torso and straps feel comfortable when you raise your arms.

• Smooth side panels and lower body: Meryl - 92% polyamide, 8% elastane.
• Upper body panels, straps and back panels: Velvet.
• Neckline and back insert: Matching tulle.
• Lining: Full front soft lining.

The percentages above apply to the Meryl fabric only. Separate fibre compositions for the velvet, tulle and lining.

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

India should sit close to the body, with the velvet panels lying smoothly and the camisole straps resting comfortably on 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 straps should remain comfortable and the front and back edges should lie flat, without pulling or gaping. This design offers moderate support.

Follow the garment label first. To protect the velvet and fine tulle, our gentle-care recommendation is:

Hand wash cold with a mild detergent.
Wash with similar colours and avoid prolonged soaking.
Handle the velvet gently; avoid rubbing or scrubbing the pile.
Keep the tulle away from jewellery, hook-and-loop fastenings and rough surfaces.
Avoid bleach, fabric softener, twisting and wringing.
