Leotard sizing guide update: Bloch/Mirella, Motionwear

In their most recent leotard collections, the sizing of Bloch, Mirella, and Motionwear leotards (fashion collections) seem to have changed a little.


Bloch and Mirella, both products of Bloch, INC, previously ran a bit short and wide.  Now the leotards from these brands seem to be running a bit big all over.  If you have a long torso or are thicker in the bust or waist, go with the size listed in the size chart.  If you are short in the torso or very slim, go with one size down.


Motionwear leotards are undergoing a similar change.  They previously ran so small that everyone needed one size up.  The most recent collection is also larger all over.  Now most dancers can wear the size recommended in the size chart.  If you have a very long torso or are very curvy, you will still want to look at one size up.  Additionally, Motionwear leos are currently looking very high cut in the leg.  If you want a leg lengthening look, this will be perfect for you.  But if you are looking for more coverage in the hip area, you will have to go to another brand.





Don't forget to keep submitting your questions for my upcoming Q&A video.  I have about 6 questions so far.  I plan to film the video next weekend and have it up for you by Valentine's Day.
