Refresh your class wardrobe with the Mara Dancewear Aura Long Sleeve Leotard in Soft Misty Blue. Supportive ribbed fabric, a high zip neckline and fitted sleeves give this ballet leotard a defined silhouette, balanced by a large rounded back opening. Made in Spain, it combines a cool pastel shade with exceptionally soft full front lining for comfortable studio wear.

Best For: Ballet class • Daily rehearsals • Dancers who prefer sleeve coverage • Supportive ribbed compression • A soft blue studio palette

Why Dancers Love Mara Dancewear Aura Long Sleeve

• A neckline you can adjust: Wear the front zip closed for a neat high neck, or lower it slightly for a more open feel.
• Supportive ribbed texture: Fine ribbing gives the fabric definition and a firmer hold than Mara’s smooth-fabric styles.
• Exceptionally soft front lining: A smooth inner layer adds comfort against the skin and reinforces coverage through the front.
• A distinctive back view: Pale contrast trim frames the rounded opening, complementing the long sleeves and softly coloured body.

Mara Aura Soft Misty Blue Ballet Leotard – Fabric & Fit

The 78% nylon and 22% elastane ribbed fabric offers four-way stretch, good compression and good support. Its close fit follows the torso and arms, creating a gently held-in feel for class and rehearsal. Fitted long sleeves provide arm coverage, while the high-cut ballet leg keeps the lower silhouette streamlined.

The full front lining combines 86% nylon and 14% elastane for an exceptionally soft finish. Coverage is good in Soft Misty Blue, although the lighter shade may appear less opaque than deeper colours depending on fit, stretch and lighting. The rounded back opening remains uncovered, and the garment is front lined rather than fully lined throughout.

Check girth and sleeve fit when choosing your size so you can reach comfortably through the shoulders and arms. Individual fit and support may vary.

Styling Your Soft Misty Blue Ballet Leotard

Ballet pink tights bring a classical finish to this cool blue shade. Add a pale grey mesh skirt for a gentle tonal combination, or choose white and cream knitwear to complement the pale trim. The ribbed texture gives a simple outfit detail without needing a patterned layer.

Dance World Tip: Keep your skirt waistband below the back opening to leave Aura’s rounded, contrast-trimmed shape visible.

Dance World Fabric Note: Aura’s ribbed fabric gives a more held-in, supportive sensation than Mara’s smooth-fabric styles. The full front lining adds softness and comfort against the skin, helping balance the more structured outer fabric. In Soft Misty Blue, the lighter shade keeps the overall look delicate while the lining helps maintain reassuring everyday studio coverage.

Choose according to the Mara Dancewear size chart, using your usual size as a starting point. The ribbed fabric is designed to sit closely against the body, offering a secure feel without needing to size down.

Dance World Fit Tip: Consider torso length as well as bust, waist and hips. In a long-sleeve leotard, comfort through the shoulders and underarm area matters just as much as overall fit. If you are between sizes, think about whether you prefer a firmer compressive feel or a slightly more relaxed fit.
