My fellow "curvy" ladies who dance, I know you join me in frustration with finding dancewear that provides enough coverage and support! Most dancewear brands cap at a size medium or large, and the few "plus size" options there are leave a lot to be desired aesthetically. Womp, womp.
I saw sometime last year that DiscountDance.com released a line of Curvy Fit leotards by the brand Natalie. I was hesitant to give them a try for some reason, but they're on clearance right now so I decided to give them a shot. I'm so glad I did, and wish I would have sooner!!
PROS:
- FINALLY. More fabric. My boobs actually fit above the waist seam!
- A substantial bust lining elastic provides more support.
- A back scoop low enough to be pretty, but high enough to cover a bra strap.
CONS:
- I don't like all the weird seam lines in the cap sleeve leo. I don't understand why it's like this - can't the sleeve just be seamless like non-curvy leotards?
- I would like another fabric option that isn't quite as shiny
Overall, my thoughts are relief and excitement that I finally have options that I know will keep me covered and supported! I think this is a great first step to expanding what is traditionally considered dancewear. "Curvy" people want pretty options too!
Since these leotards are currently on clearance, I suggest ordering now before they're gone!

My 8 year old daughter is bigger, 55 inches tall, 31 chest, 33 hip and 56 girth. I got her an adult small. It is amazing what a little difference makes. Overall its the slightest little difference in random areas that make the fit so much better. I wish they had more colors, her class is baby blue this year. Sighh.
If anyone has any suggestions for a baby blue leo, TIA
