Beautifully understated yet effortlessly distinctive, the Yumiko Kathy Ballet Leotard is a design that captures everything dancers love about Yumiko. Soft colours, delicate mesh detailing and elegant ballet lines come together to create a leotard that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern. Whether you're heading to class, rehearsals or preparing for an audition, Kathy offers comfort, confidence and refined style with every movement.

Yumiko Kathy Ballet Leotard in Poem - Delicate Mesh Beauty with Timeless Ballet Style

Designed for dancers who appreciate subtle elegance, the Kathy leotard combines Yumiko's signature premium stretch performance fabric with beautifully draped Rose mesh across the bodice. The softly gathered mesh creates a graceful crossover effect that flatters the figure while adding lightness and feminine detail. Finished with luxurious Velvet Angelic trim, every element has been carefully considered to create a sophisticated studio look.

The dreamy Poem lilac body is beautifully complemented by the soft blush mesh overlay, creating a fresh, romantic colour palette that stands out with understated elegance. Slim camisole straps and a graceful low scoop back enhance the dancer's natural posture, while the high-cut leg line creates beautifully elongated classical ballet lines. A comfortable front lining provides additional confidence throughout every rehearsal and class.

Lightweight, supportive and designed to move effortlessly with the body, Kathy offers complete freedom through every plié, pirouette and grand allegro. It's a leotard that feels as comfortable during long studio days as it looks beautiful under the studio lights.

Size and Fit

Yumiko leotards are designed for a close, streamlined fit. Many dancers find their usual size suitable, particularly if they have a shorter or standard torso and prefer a supportive second-skin feel.

We recommend sizing up if you have a longer torso, broader shoulders, a fuller bust, or simply prefer a little more room through the body. If you're between sizes, choosing the larger size will usually provide a more comfortable fit for long classes and rehearsals.
