Eurotard Microfiber Camisole Dance Dress | Girls (44453)
A skirted leotard for girls quietly removes the most chaotic five minutes of dance day: the search for the skirt. Because the Eurotard 44453 sews the two together, getting dressed is one motion — leotard on, skirt on, done. Nothing separates in the dance bag, nothing gets left in the car, and the colors always match because they’re the same garment. For families juggling multiple kids and multiple activities, that’s not a small thing; it’s the reason the dance dress exists.
The construction takes little-dancer realities seriously. The flat camisole straps are placed higher on the shoulders than standard cami straps, so they stay planted instead of sliding down mid-skip. The V neckline and back keep coverage modest, and the front panel is fully lined with Eurotard’s odor-neutralizing, quick-dry lining — comfortable coverage that lasts the whole class and the errands afterward.
Why does a skirted leotard for girls make class day easier?
Count the pieces in a typical ballet outfit: leotard, tights, skirt, shoes, and something warm — five things to track, twice a week. Making the skirt permanent takes one off the list entirely, and it happens to be the piece most likely to go missing, since it’s the one that comes off for certain exercises and gets stuffed wherever. A dance dress also ends the mid-season mismatch problem, where the pink skirt has faded two shades away from the pink leotard. Here, they fade together — which is to say, barely at all, since this microfiber is built to hold its color through a season of weekly washing.
What keeps the straps from slipping?
Strap placement. Eurotard sets these flat camisole straps higher on the shoulder — closer to the neck — than most camisole cuts. On narrow, sloped young shoulders, that geometry is what keeps a strap up: the higher anchor point means the strap crosses the shoulder where it’s most stable, not out at the edge where every arm lift nudges it off. Less tugging, less fidgeting, more attention on the teacher.
Is the skirt right for class, or just for twirling?
Both, by design. The attached skirt is cut from the same lightweight microfiber as the body, so it moves and twirls the way she wants — but it’s short and soft enough that it never hides the legs from the teacher. Studios that discourage separate skirts often accept attached ones for exactly this reason: the skirt can’t be adjusted, bunched, or played with, and it stays out of the way of corrections.
Dance dress or leotard-plus-skirt — which should you buy?
We carry both paths, so here’s the honest breakdown. The two-piece route — a leotard like our Eurotard 4464c plus the 06121c pull-on skirt — gives you mix-and-match color options and lets each piece be replaced or resized on its own schedule. The dance dress gives you simplicity: one garment, one wash, zero coordination, typically at less than the cost of two pieces. For the youngest dancers and the busiest mornings, the dress usually wins; as girls get opinions about outfits (it happens fast), the two-piece wardrobe takes over. We’re happy to show both in the store.

Sizing Guide — Eurotard Children’s Apparel
Eurotard sizes children’s apparel by measurement, not age. For a dance dress, fit it like a leotard — girth (shoulder, through the legs, and back up) is the measurement that decides comfort, and the skirt simply follows. If she’s between sizes, consider how much class time is left in the season; the microfiber stretch is forgiving, but the straps here are fixed, so fit the girth honestly.
| Size | Height | Bust | Waist | Hips | Girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS (2–4) | 36–40″ (91–102 cm) | 18–21″ (46–53 cm) | 18–21″ (46–53 cm) | 20–22″ (51–56 cm) | 37–40″ (94–102 cm) |
| S (4–6) | 40–46″ (102–117 cm) | 20–22″ (51–56 cm) | 20–22″ (51–56 cm) | 21–23″ (53–58 cm) | 40–42″ (102–107 cm) |
| I (6x–7) | 43–47″ (109–119 cm) | 21–24″ (53–61 cm) | 21–24″ (53–61 cm) | 23–25″ (58–64 cm) | 43–45″ (109–114 cm) |
