Bodile women's sizing uses overlapping size ranges from XXS/XS through L/XL. For the most reliable fit, compare your bust, waist, hip and torso-length measurements rather than converting directly from everyday clothing size. For leotards, torso length is particularly useful when deciding between two overlapping sizes.

Compare bust, waist, hips and torso length to find your best starting size. Bodile sizes intentionally overlap, so more than one size may suit some body measurements.
| Bodile Size | Bust | Waist | Hips | Torso Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XXS/XS | 70–80 cm 27.5–31.5" | 55–65 cm 21.5–25.5" | 75–85 cm 29.5–33.5" | 52.5–57.5 cm Approx. 20.5–22.5" |
| XS/S | 75–85 cm 29.5–33.5" | 60–70 cm 23.5–27.5" | 80–90 cm 31.5–35.5" | 55–60 cm 21.5–23.5" |
| S/M | 80–90 cm 31.5–35.5" | 65–75 cm 25.5–29.5" | 85–95 cm 33.5–37.5" | 57.5–62.5 cm 22.5–24.5" |
| M/L | 85–95 cm 33.5–37.5" | 70–80 cm 27.5–31.5" | 90–100 cm 35.5–39.5" | 60–65 cm 23.5–25.5" |
| L/XL | 90–100 cm 35.5–39.5" | 75–85 cm 29.5–33.5" | 95–105 cm 37.5–41.5" | 62.5–67.5 cm 24.5–26.5" |
Bodile's size ranges intentionally overlap. If your bust, waist or hips comfortably fit two sizes, use torso length as an important deciding measurement for leotards. A longer torso may feel more comfortable in the larger overlapping size, while a shorter torso may suit the smaller option.
How to Measure for Bodile Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting dancewear using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Torso Length
Key Leotard MeasurementFollow Bodile's measuring diagram and measure the length of the torso vertically down the body. Keep the tape straight and close to the body without pulling it tight.
Bodile calls this measurement Torso Length. It should not be substituted with the full shoulder-through-crotch girth loop commonly used by some other dancewear brands.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape straight and level around the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is not included in Bodile's women's size table, but it can be useful when considering overall body proportions alongside torso length.
Bodile women's sizes are intentionally grouped into overlapping ranges: XXS/XS, XS/S, S/M, M/L and L/XL. This gives dancers flexibility when choosing their preferred fit. Use all four published body measurements together, with torso length particularly useful for fitted leotards. Where two sizes overlap, consider both body length and how close you prefer your dancewear to feel.

Description
Bring texture to your studio wardrobe with the Bodile Ophelia Black Dahlia ballet leotard. Floral flocked velvet, a softly pinched neckline and a defining waist ribbon give this black camisole its distinctive finish. Adjustable straps refine the upper fit, while the super-soft, unlined LEOPREME® body feels lightweight through class and rehearsal.
Best For: Ballet class • Rehearsals • Adjustable camisole styling • Dancers who enjoy decorative bodices and a lightweight body
Why Dancers Love the Bodile Ophelia Leotard
- Black with beautiful texture: Raised floral flocking creates detail across the front and upper back without adding another colour to your outfit.
- Adjustable shoulder fit: Fine camisole straps let you refine the shoulder length and neckline position.
- Super-soft against the skin: The unlined LEOPREME® body keeps the feel light, with a cotton gusset completing the construction.
- A defined waist: A narrow ribbon separates the patterned bodice from the smooth lower body and creates a natural styling point for a skirt.
Floral Flocked Velvet & Soft LEOPREME® Fabric
The Black Dahlia bodice combines raised velvet flowers with a sheer ground, creating contrast through texture and transparency. A small centre pinch shapes the front, with sheer mesh trimming along the neckline. The back has a gently curved opening above the patterned panel.
The main body uses Italian LEOPREME® fabric, made from 80% nylon and 20% Lycra. Breathable stretch and shape retention provide supportive hold through the torso, while the sleeveless cut leaves the shoulders free for port de bras. A classic ballet leg completes the silhouette.
Made in Australia, Ophelia has an unlined body and a 100% cotton gusset. Coverage is excellent through the main black body; the decorative flocked bodice and mesh neckline retain their sheer effect.
Fit & Styling Your Ophelia Black Dahlia Leotard
Ophelia runs true to size, with a close camisole fit. Settle the leotard comfortably through the torso before adjusting the straps, then check the neckline position as you move your arms.
Pair it with the Bodile Gisella rehearsal skirt for flowing mesh beneath the textured bodice. Ballet pink tights create a classical combination, while black or charcoal warm-ups keep the outfit tonal. Leotard and skirt are sold separately.
Dance World Tip: Position your skirt waistband alongside the waist ribbon to keep the bodice detail visible and create a neat transition between the two pieces.
