The YUMIKO Kathy Camisole Ballet Leotard in Burgundy brings delicate gathered detail to a classical studio shape. Pale Rose mesh folds across the front, while Garnet crushed velvet trim frames the neckline and slender straps. A simple scoop back, front lining and high-cut leg complete this lightweight ballet leotard for class and rehearsal.

Best For: Ballet class • Studio rehearsals • Classical camisole styling • Gentle compression • Decorative front detail

Why Dancers Love the YUMIKO Kathy

• A softly gathered front: Rose mesh draws into a central gather across the bust, creating delicate folds over the Burgundy body fabric.
• A familiar scoop back: The plain Burgundy back keeps the silhouette simple and makes the gathered front the focus.
• Lightweight comfort: Smooth stretch nylon follows the torso with medium–light compression for dancers who prefer a gentle hold.
• Rich colour, reassuring coverage: The dark body and front lining provide strong body coverage, with pale mesh adding a softer accent.

YUMIKO Kathy Burgundy Leotard – Fabric & Fit

The stretch nylon body has a smooth, lightweight feel. A softly curved scoop neckline sits between fine camisole straps, with Garnet crushed velvet edging adding texture around the neckline, arm openings and back. The high-cut leg sits higher at the hip, completing the streamlined ballet silhouette.

The Rose mesh overlay sits across the front bust, over the Burgundy fabric. Its translucent finish allows the darker colour beneath to show through the gathered folds. The back is plain Burgundy nylon with a scoop neckline.

This front-lined version offers medium–light compression, moderate support and strong body coverage. Compare your measurements with the YUMIKO size chart, paying particular attention to torso length and bust fit. Individual fit, support and opacity may vary.

Styling Burgundy, Rose & Garnet

Burgundy creates a deep wine-red foundation, Rose brings a pale pink accent, and Garnet velvet adds subtle texture along the edges. Pair Kathy with ballet pink tights and a soft pink rehearsal skirt to echo the gathered front. A Burgundy skirt creates a richer tonal outfit, while black or charcoal warm-ups give the colours a simple backdrop.

Dance World Tip: Choose a plain skirt with a neat waistband to keep the gathered mesh front visible and let its soft folds remain the main detail.

Use the YUMIKO size chart and your experience with an existing YUMIKO leotard as starting points. The brand notes that different styles can suit different body proportions, so a familiar size is guidance rather than a guarantee of fit.

Hand wash in cold water using a very mild detergent. Do not iron or tumble dry. Lay flat to dry, following any additional instructions on the garment’s care label.
Colour Care: Take particular care with the pale Rose mesh alongside the dark Burgundy body. YUMIKO warns that combinations of very light and dark fabrics can be susceptible to colour transfer.
