ILIZIA GL Abano • Romantic Puff Sleeves Ballet Leotard, Golden Label Collection

DellaLo Milano Ballet Leotard - Romantic Italian Detail with a Dramatic Open Back

Refined and beautifully expressive, the DellaLo Milano Ilizia GL Ballet Leotard in Abano brings soft couture-inspired detail to a graceful professional silhouette. Part of the prestigious Golden Label Iconic Collection, Ilizia combines a satin-finish mauve body with sheer plum-toned tulle embroidered in delicate blush floral motifs.

The softly gathered front creates elegant shaping through the neckline and bust, while the short puff sleeves frame the shoulders with lightness and femininity. Rich tonal layering gives the upper bodice remarkable depth without interrupting the dancer’s natural lines.

From the back, a deep V-shaped opening reveals the shoulder blades and elongates the upper body, creating a striking studio-to-stage finish. Designed for dancers who appreciate poetic colour, technical comfort and exceptional Italian craftsmanship, Ilizia GL moves beautifully through class, auditions, rehearsals and performance.

Design & Performance Features

Softly Ruched V-Neckline

The gathered front draws gently towards the centre of the bodice, creating feminine shaping through the neckline while maintaining a refined and naturally flattering appearance.

Embroidered Stretch-Tulle Bodice

Sheer plum-toned tulle is embroidered with delicate blush floral motifs, introducing rich texture and tonal contrast while remaining lightweight, breathable and flexible.

Romantic Puff Sleeves

The short embroidered sleeves feature gentle volume through the shoulder, creating a soft classical line without restricting movement through the arms or upper body.

Deep V-Shaped Open Back

The dramatic V-back frames the shoulder blades and elongates the upper body, enhancing posture, épaulement and the expressive quality of every port de bras.

Premium Italian Performance Fabric

The smooth mauve body offers excellent four-way stretch and dependable shape recovery, following the dancer closely through pliés, développés, turns and grand allegro.

Lightweight Professional Construction

Flexible mesh and performance fabric keep the leotard comfortable during long classes and rehearsals while preserving the polished structure expected from DellaLo Milano’s Golden Label Collection.
