Elegant tailoring never goes out of style, and the Yumiko Denise Ballet Leotard is a beautiful example of timeless ballet design. Combining a graceful camisole silhouette with sculpting princess seams and a flattering empire waist, Denise creates refined lines that move beautifully with the dancer. Sophisticated, comfortable and effortlessly stylish, it's a leotard you'll reach for time and time again.

Yumiko Denise Ballet Leotard in Storm - Timeless Tailoring with Elegant Ballet Lines

Designed for dancers who appreciate understated luxury, the Denise leotard is crafted from Yumiko's signature premium stretch performance fabric for exceptional comfort and freedom of movement. Delicate princess seams gently contour the body, while the softly curved empire waist enhances the natural silhouette, creating elegant proportions from every angle. The luxurious Velvet Serenade bodice adds subtle texture and depth, beautifully finished with crisp White trim for a fresh, contemporary contrast.

The rich Storm body colour brings a modern, sophisticated feel, perfectly balanced by the soft velvet upper. Fine camisole straps frame the shoulders beautifully, while the graceful low scoop back showcases elegant ballet posture without compromising support. Finished with a flattering high-cut leg and front lining, Denise offers confidence and comfort throughout every class, rehearsal and coaching session.

Whether you're working at the barre, refining variations or preparing for your next audition, Denise moves effortlessly with the body while maintaining its beautifully tailored silhouette. It's a timeless design that combines technical performance with effortless elegance.

Size and Fit

Denise has a close, streamlined fit and runs significantly smaller than other Yumiko styles.

We recommend choosing one size larger than your usual Yumiko size. Dancers with a longer torso, broader shoulders, a fuller bust or those who simply prefer a little more room through the body may wish to size up further. If you're between sizes, we always recommend choosing the larger size for the most comfortable fit.
