Some leotards never go out of style. The Yumiko Elli Ballet Leotard is one of those beautifully timeless designs that dancers return to again and again. Combining a flattering pinch-front neckline, elegant cap sleeves and a graceful deep V-back, Elli brings together classic ballet styling with the exceptional comfort and quality that Yumiko is renowned for.

Yumiko Elli Ballet Leotard in Ginko - Timeless Ballet Style with a Beautiful Deep V-Back

Made from Yumiko's signature premium stretch performance fabric, Elli is designed to move seamlessly with the body while maintaining a beautifully sculpted silhouette. The softly gathered pinch-front neckline enhances the natural lines of the dancer, while delicate cap sleeves provide elegant coverage without restricting freedom of movement. The luxurious Velvet Buttermilk bodice adds depth and texture, perfectly framed by soft Mirror trim for a fresh, contemporary finish.

The calming Ginko body colour pairs beautifully with the warm velvet upper, creating a sophisticated colour combination that feels effortlessly refined. A gently shaped waist seam flatters the figure and creates beautiful proportions, while the dramatic deep V-back highlights posture and adds elegance from every angle. Finished with a high-cut leg line and front lining, Elli delivers both confidence and comfort throughout every class, rehearsal and coaching session.

Whether you're training daily, preparing for an audition or simply searching for a leotard you'll love wearing week after week, Elli offers the perfect balance of timeless beauty, technical performance and everyday comfort.

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.
