SELENE DI Prugna • Luxury High Neck Embroidered Ballet Leotard

DellaLo Milano Iconic High-Neck Ballet Leotard Defined by Italian Elegance

The DellaLo Milano Selene DI Prugna is one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the DellaLo Icons Collection, celebrated for its graceful high neckline, exclusive embroidered tulle and beautifully sculpted open back. Designed to enhance posture while showcasing the elegance of classical ballet lines, Selene perfectly balances contemporary refinement with timeless Italian craftsmanship.

The luxurious Prugna colourway brings warmth and richness to this iconic design. Deep plum stretch fabric is beautifully complemented by DellaLo Milano's signature embroidered stretch tulle, creating subtle texture and sophisticated contrast across the upper bodice. Lightweight embroidered wing sleeves soften the shoulders, while the dramatic wide keyhole back introduces movement, lightness and femininity from every angle.

Design & Performance

Selene DI perfectly embodies DellaLo Milano's philosophy of refined simplicity. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a silhouette that feels elegant, balanced and effortlessly sophisticated while allowing the dancer's movement to remain the true focus.

The refined high neckline immediately creates a beautifully elongated upper body, encouraging elegant posture and highlighting the natural line of the neck. Unlike traditional sleeveless designs, Selene features lightweight embroidered wing sleeves that gently frame the shoulders, adding softness without restricting freedom of movement.

The upper bodice is crafted from DellaLo Milano's exclusive embroidered stretch tulle, creating delicate texture while remaining exceptionally lightweight and breathable. The embroidery appears almost suspended across the body, adding depth and refinement while preserving the clean architectural lines that define the design.

From behind, Selene reveals one of its most distinctive features — a dramatic wide keyhole back secured by a refined high-neck fastening. The generous opening beautifully showcases the dancer's back and posture while introducing lightness, elegance and fluidity throughout every movement, making the leotard particularly striking during port de bras and centre work.

Premium Italian stretch fabrics ensure exceptional comfort throughout long rehearsals and intensive training, moving naturally with the body while maintaining the beautifully tailored silhouette expected from the DellaLo Icons Collection.
