shimmerynight22 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Generally, what leotard styles are the most flattering? I find high cut legs and princess seams appealing, but as I'm getting ready to order leotards for SIs, I was just wondering what is appealing. Also, are specific colors more appealing than others? Finally, besides DDS and Dance Distributors, where do you guys order your stuff? Thanks, Any help would be awesome. Link to comment
ballet24/7 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 For me, 3/4 and long sleeve leos are always very flattering. I agree with the high cut leg, and I also thing the V neck line is very flattering. All does depend on your body type, though. I love the colors black, hunter green, navy...all subdued, darker colors. Link to comment

luv2dance515 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I find that dark colors and princess seams are very flattering. Also, lower backs! Link to comment
Guest Soccerbeamgurl Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 yes definitely low backs. Link to comment
qtpiedanzer01 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 high cut legs, low cut back and a v front look best on me. Link to comment
obi hav kanavi Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I can tell you what's not flattering: nude leotards Link to comment
stefi913 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 white leotards aren't so flattering either :-/ Link to comment
Guest winterfresh844 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 unless you are tan... i love low-back leotards because they are very flattering, but i have trouble finding ones low enough to really look good. The descriptions in catalogues and online are somewhat deceiving, as are the pictures because they dont usually show you the entire backside to gove you a sense of the proportion of the leotard. so does anyone have any good, low-back leotard suggestions?

shimmerynight22 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah- I have that problem too! The catalogs are always like "low cut back" and then I get it, and think that it's just average, like mid-back. I was wondering the same thing! Link to comment
luv2dance515 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 The Mirella 201L camisole leo is great! It has a really low back. Link to comment
Guest winterfresh844 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Funny you mention that one.. I have it, actually... four of them (2 in black, 1 in white and 1 in white w/ piping)! I find that the backs on those are still a little too high. Any other suggestions? Link to comment
dancer8906 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Natalie's N8041 has a really low back, lower than the back on Mirella's 201L. Link to comment
Guest winterfresh844 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Oooh, Ithat one is great! However I have found that a lot of Natalie leotards, um... ride up the backside... any solutions to that? Link to comment
Guest winterfresh844 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 oops, meant to say "that one..." sorry! Link to comment
