All you need to know about the Basilica Linus leotard

Faye Nash |

We chatted with Dancewear Central model Nadia, about one of our best selling leotards. It really is a leotard for all occassions! What leotard are you reviewing? It's the Linus leotard from Taglia Basilica. This is actually the first time I have worn a Basilica leotard and it is now definitely one of my favourites. Tell us about it... This leotard comes in black/black mesh or burgandy/black mesh. I am wearing the black one in an adult small. This is my normal leotard size and it fits me very well as the material is stretchy. The leotard has a nice elegant shape to it especially around the hips, arms and the back. There is a V at the front and back of the leotard, which creates a lovely line. What do you like about it? The material is incredible soft on your skin including the mesh arms and back, which do not become itchy when worn for a long time or when hot and sweaty. As I have quite slim arms I was worried about the mesh on the sleeves being to large or baggy like previous long sleeved leotards I have worn. But this was not the case; as they are slightly elasticated they fit perfectly. Any other features you like?

On the inside of the leotard there is double lining around the chest area with an elasticated piece just under the bust for support. This is also a very comfortable soft material. The whole leotard is not too thick so it is light to wear but is good quality material so it is not see through.

When would you wear this?

I think this is a great all-rounder leotard. As it's so comfortable I would wear this to the studio, but also feel it is special enough to wear to an audition. I may even get the Burgandy version too! Nadia x
