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
Description
The Bodile Saskia Black 3/4 sleeve ballet leotard from the Signature collection brings clean lines and soft texture to a studio classic. A square neckline, smoky sheer sleeves and a large open back create an elegant silhouette to wear simply with ballet tights. The soft LEOPREME® body feels lightweight, with built-in underbust support completing the design.
Best For: Ballet class • Coaching sessions • Rehearsals • Classic black styling • Auditions where the dress code permits
Why Dancers Love Saskia in Black
- A complete look with minimal styling: The square front and framed back opening give the leotard character with tights alone.
- Subtle contrast through texture: Smoky mesh sleeves soften the smooth black body, adding depth within a tonal palette.
- An elegant audition option: Classic black works well for auditions where three-quarter mesh sleeves and an open back are permitted.
- Lightness with targeted support: The body remains unlined, with supportive elastic and self-fabric lining in a separate underbust panel.
Soft LEOPREME® Fabric & Built-In Underbust Support
The main body uses LEOPREME® - 80% nylon and 20% Lycra. Its soft-touch, demi-matte finish keeps the front understated, while four-way stretch and shape retention provide a flexible, close fit. Pilling resistance and moisture-wicking properties add practical details for regular studio wear.
Super-soft SUPRABLIME® mesh sleeves finish at three-quarter length, leaving the wrists uncovered. Black BODILE elastic frames the shoulders and large open back, with a gold metal clasp at the nape and a small gold back emblem.
The body is unlined; the separate underbust panel combines self-fabric lining with supportive elastic. A classic ballet leg and 100% cotton gusset complete this Australian-designed leotard. The sleeves remain intentionally sheer, and the back opening is uncovered.
Fit & Styling Your Black Saskia Leotard
Saskia runs true to size, with a close ballet fit and fitted three-quarter sleeves. Settle the main body and underbust panel comfortably before easing the sleeves into position and fastening the clasp. Check your shoulder movement without pulling on the delicate mesh.
Wear with ballet tights for a clear view of the silhouette, adding a plain cream, grey or black wrap when needed. For variety within a black dance wardrobe, explore Bella for adjustable camisole styling or Valentina for velvet panelling and full-length sleeves.
Dance World Tip: For auditions, check the required sleeve style and back coverage before choosing your outfit. Try the complete combination during class so the fit and fastening feel familiar.
