Leotards
Yumiko is such high quality. I love the velvet trim on this and the colourways are so pretty. I have this in a light pink with a dark pink trim and I also have a short sleeved version with a velvet top. It never fails me! It is a splurge for sure, I ... but you can definitely see the difference in quality right off the bat.

This is a staple basic. I love the pinch front, and the variety of colours. They are always going on sale so they are affordable if you want to get a bunch of different coloured leotards.
Capezio Womens Classic Pinch-front Tank Leotard
This is the most basic of basic, it is comfortable and simple and comes in tons of colourways. I'd reccomend it if you want more of a simple tank top style.
Bloch Women's Nejor Microlux Camisole Leotard
A good short sleeve basic. Simple and cute!
Capezio womens Capezio Short Sleeve LeotardLeotard
The mesh bodice on this leotard feels so romantic and extra special to wear.
SOFIA LEOTARD
OK so the lace on this is STUNNING and the blue colour is so deep and flattering. One of my favourite elevated basics.
Intermezzo Bodybraidstrap Leotard - RL31611
This is super simple and has a pinched top just like the capezio, but the material is a little more buttery soft and feels a bit more expensive.
SoDanca Microfiber Adult Tank Leotard - D7500
Skirts
The nude colour goes with everything, and this is the perfect midi length! Flowy and gorgeous and high quality. A splurge!
JULIETA REHEARSAL SKIRT
The cutest little cinched skirt and the green colour is to die for. It's so nice to have a different silhouette for a short skirt!
Women's High Waist Sheer Ballet Dance Skirt
Specifically the midi length light blue…haven't tried the others but it is so romantic, flowy and stunning.

Accessories
This ballet bag fits literally everything and helps you stay organized (although mine is full of a bit of everything at this point!) It even fits my foam roller and has two water bottle pockets on the side that have a drawstring to tighten them. It c...
BAGSMART 31L Quilted Travel Duffle Bag Pink
I'll wear these on my way to class and for warmup, they are lightweight and comfortable but help my muscles warm up and stay warm.
Capezio 12080W Rip Stop Pants
My favourite pants to wear at the barre if I don't feel like wearing a skirt. They are colourful, pretty and comfy and still make me feel like a ballerina!
Multicolor striped pants | KT0150C KEZIA
These over the knee legwarmers are perfect on cold winter days. The grey is my favourite because it goes with almost everything.
Ballet Flared Leg Warmers Spot/Stripe 27.5"
This is the best for rolling out my quads and IT bands. I prefer the ball over a foam roller because I can get REAL specific. They are also such cute colours!
STX Lacrosse Balls, 2 Pack
This lets me put my hair in a bun or pony for ballet class without creasing my blowout. It preserves my style and are comfy to keep on my wrist during the day. Has quickly become one of my must haves!
