Meet the DARIA, your new “I-feel-like-a-principal-dancer” leo. Inspired by the clean elegance of a kimono, this YUMIKO camisole leotard blends velvet drama with pastel softness, like the perfect harmony between fierce technique and effortless artistry. From tendus at the barre to that final run-through before curtain, the DARIA is the kind of leotard that makes you want to dance bigger, breathe deeper, and enjoy every moment in the studio.

The crushed-velvet bodice glows under the lights (yes, even studio fluorescents), while the sleek pastel lower half sculpts and supports without ever feeling stiff. With its refined neckline and delicate straps, this piece highlights your épaulement so beautifully it feels almost unfair. And because this style fits more snugly than your typical YUMIKO, don’t be shy - size up and let the magic happen.
