Why Dancers Love the YUMIKO Kate

• A different shoulder line: The slender halter strap passes behind the neck, leaving the shoulders open and the front uncluttered.
• A light sense of hold: Flexible nylon offers light compression and support for dancers who prefer less restrictive studio clothing.
• Subtle texture and colour: Pale Pistachio crushed velvet adds a softly textured outline to the smooth Ginko green body.

YUMIKO Kate Ginko Leotard – Fabric & Fit

The 87% polyamide and 13% elastane nylon body has a lightweight, breathable feel with stretch for comfortable movement. A rounded scoop front leads into the halter neckline, while fine horizontal straps cross the low back opening. The high-cut leg sits higher at the hip, completing the streamlined ballet silhouette.

Compression, support and coverage are all light in this version. Front lining adds a layer through the front, but the pale Ginko fabric remains a light-coverage choice. The back is deliberately open, and adjusting the tie does not change the garment into a more supportive style.

Compare your measurements with the YUMIKO size chart, paying attention to torso length and bust fit. Settle the leotard comfortably before adjusting the back tie, then check the neckline through your usual arm movements. Individual fit, support and opacity may vary.

Styling Ginko & Pistachio

Ginko brings a muted green tone to the smooth body, while paler Pistachio crushed velvet catches the light along the neckline, ties and back edges. Pair Kate with ballet pink tights and a neutral rehearsal skirt for a gentle palette, or add charcoal warm-ups for deeper contrast. Simple layers leave the halter shape and back bow visible.

Dance World Tip: Try this pale colourway with your intended tights and underlayers in good light before class, checking coverage as you reach and bend.
