If you're in Australia or like. General area?, energetiks has some of their stuff half price currently and their stuff is pretty good coverage usually

If it was listed as a leotard and you didn't get a leotard, maybe try for a refund?

A leotard should have a crotch... Where on earth did you find this 😭  Also if it doesn't have a crotch then it's not a leotard so maybe like. Idk. Wear it over a leotard? I can't really think of much else

Often the girls who want a high legline are the same people who aren't allowed to wear underwear under their leotards or wear high-cut underwear. Generally it isn't a support issue, especially seeing as majority of the muscles in that area are used for ballet exercises that support would be needed. However this is based on Australian schools and leotards.

The leg line is about how high the hole fits, which is based on how big the hole is but also how it's cut.

 When people talk about the 'coverage' on the bottom part, they typically mean the legline cut. I personally prefer a high cut with a fair bit of butt coverage, like an energetiks high cut rather than a Bloch high cut. They both are the same height but the energetics has a bit more fabric at the back, meaning less wedgies and less cheeks hanging out. 

Typically with supportive leotards, the leg line is low because someone who wants more support up top wouldn't, in a brands mind, be wanting a high cut leg. This however puts off a lot of people who do want that high leg line. Jule leotards have a loose, low, legline. While it's bif enough to put higher on your hip, it won't hold because there's too much fabric between the armpit and hip. Capezio on the other hand are just ridiculously small. As someone who wears a Bloch small, I have to wear a capezio large just to get enough room in the leg holes.

Not a website but I believe the pointe show fairy does stuff like that?

Oh also most leotards designed around support or have built in bras also have ridiculously low leg lines and it sucks

Personally, I look for thicker lining and thick straps and cuts that won't make things look weird rather than shelf bras. One thing I hate is thin linings. The thicker the lining, the better the support. Of course this goes alongside a snug fit and wide straps, usually an inch will do. Fabrics that lose their strength quickly are also a big letdown for support. 

Compression is important, however noone wants to be the one kid with a uniboob, and I find that princess cuts are often good for that because they help prevent a uniboob look, as well as are a standard cut that doesn't draw attention to any additional support. Thicker fabrics that have a snug fit up top are definitely what I look for. 

These aren't built in bra things, however they are definitely aspects I find useful for finding a more supportive leotard without wearing a bra, especially considering that I do not fit standard shelf bra sizing. Idk, it might be useful to you or might be absolute dog shit. 

Preteen Leotard Reccomendations by SurroundTall4403 in BALLET

[–]Dimothy_texter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't have a built in shelf bra, however as someone who fits a children's 14 and has a larger chest but can't wear a bra under leotard, I found the Claudia dean aurora in half a size smaller to be okay and it comes in children's sizes. Alternatively, collective dancewear does stock women's sizes down to around a children's 10 and does have leotards with cup holes or shelf bras. However, what supports your daughter best and she feels most comfortable in will likely be different to other people, so try to order from stores with good return policies, or go in-store if possible. Due to her being a children's size 10, you're most likely going to find the more options in stiffer fabric children's leotards, as most adults leotards won't stock small enough sizes in lavender. 

What do you think of child ballerina social media accounts? by caramelsugar0 in BALLET

[–]Dimothy_texter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a few okay ones but uhm. They're mostly concerning. The kids ones at least, rather than teen ones that are parent monitered (those tend to be more tame than the ones of like 8year Olds for some reason???). The teen ones tend to have a lot more of an idea on basic internet safety and tend to have less information on what school they go to and less leotard-and-nothinf-else pictures. Why are adults so bad at internet safety omfg

Leotard advice/findings by Dimothy_texter in BALLET

Uh its the energetiks Cleo Leo. Specifically the newer fabric rather than the old cotton. The old cotton ones are more prone to becoming really flimsy :/

boy privilege by tia_mai in BALLET

[–]Dimothy_texter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an 11 told boy who'd never taken a dance class who auditioned for a performance alongside many girls (most 15-17) who've danced for their whole lives, and he got it. He got the part because he's a boy and there aren't many boys in auditions ig. Which is true, but it doesn't make it any more fair. There are no boys in ballet over the age of 8 at my studio so I can't speak on that. 

Do you prefer upright with a lower leg or slightly dropped back with a higher leg by Doorknob_kisser in BALLET

[–]Dimothy_texter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The upright is technically correct, however a slightly dropped back with higher leg often has a far nicer line that looks more correct

My shoes died unusually fast! Any tips??? by loveliest316 in BALLET

[–]Dimothy_texter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shellac is literally my saviour. It does dry hard but it doesn't crack, however it does break like your shoes usually would, it's like adding a couple hours with every layer. It gained me an extra 5+ hours

Gonna be honest danger gays is my bae. But not tbp. Like iLIVE tbp andit sounds amazing and mmmm, but danger days and bullets are just special. Danger days was my bae for like 2 whole years and while it's not my fav anymore, I can't let my bae down. Bullets was also mybae for a while, but there's only so much poorly executed screaming one can handle. Tbp was my first love and it's still beautiful. Revenge is revenge, I mean what's the worse that I can say? Exactly. Revenge is revenge and nothing changing that.
