Okay, so I finally got my hands on this Capezio leotard after hearing mixed reviews. Here’s my honest take!
The Good: The fabric is *so* soft (90% cotton FTW) and has just enough stretch for movement. The double straps and scoop neck give it a cute, classic look—my dance teacher approved instantly. Also, the shelf bra is a lifesaver for light support without feeling constricted.
Sizing Drama: PSA: SIZE UP! I usually wear XS but had to exchange for a Medium. The straps run short (felt like a straitjacket at first), but they did loosen slightly after a few wears. If you’re taller or broader-shouldered, maybe skip this one.
Comfort Check: During intense rehearsals, the armpit area dug in a bit—not ideal for grand jetés. But for casual classes? Perfect. Bonus: the color hasn’t faded AT ALL despite my chaotic laundry habits.
Final Verdict: Great for petite dancers or those who size up strategically. Not my go-to for all-day wear, but it’s cute enough to keep in rotation.
