Eleve To New Heights
My quest for the perfect leotard is, apparently, going to be a long term one. Ballet leotards simply aren't designed for women with breasts.
I currently wear the same Wear Moi leotard in 4 different colours, having pretty much relegated all my other leotards to the bin - leotards which either give me too much cleavage; make my back fat seems twice as much; cut into my ass so much as to make me look like I have 4 butt cheeks or reveals too much of my back (I have adult acne that appears mostly on my back). The Wear Moi ones, though high cut at the front, are a little too soft to fully support my breasts, therefore jiggle is a major issue.
However, on my leotard travels I came across Eleve Dancewear. A similar idea you Yumiko leotards, Eleve allow you to customise your leo to your own specifications. Whilst they won't necessarily solve my own issues, I was none the less really drawn to how beautiful they were. They use fun printed fabrics that will certainly make you stand out in the studio.
The leotards did make me hit upon idea however. Looking at them I was immediately reminded of swimsuits. Lightbulb moment - why not just buy a swimsuit? So I did.
Swimsuits tend to come in specific sizes rather than the generic small, medium or large. They also also accomodate all shapes and sizes of bodies. I ended up buying a very simple Speedo swimsuit, with good bust support, to begin with. If that works out, then I shall most definitely explore that route further.
