Eurotard Microfiber Princess Seam to Empire Waist Camisole Leotard | Womens (4401)
The right camisole leotard for women isn’t the flashiest one on the wall — it’s the one still in rotation two years later. The Eurotard 4401 is engineered for exactly that long game. Its princess seams run down the bodice and resolve into an empire waistline, giving the front real dressmaker structure; the full front lining delivers everyday opacity without a separate layer; and the Tactel® microfiber shrugs off the weekly wash cycle that fades and bags lesser leotards. Nothing about it shouts. Everything about it holds up.
The proportions are quietly smart, too. The scoop front and moderate scoop back keep coverage class-appropriate in every direction, while the higher-cut leg extends the visible line of the leg — the detail you notice as “this one just looks better on” without being able to say why.
What makes this camisole leotard for women a staple?
Construction where basics usually cut corners. Most simple camis are two pieces of fabric and a pair of straps — fine until the unlined front demands a particular bra, or the shapeless cut bunches at the waist. The 4401 addresses both at the pattern level: the princess-to-empire seaming fits the curve of a real torso instead of hanging straight, and the lined front solves opacity on day one. Those two upgrades are the difference between a leotard you tolerate and one you reach for automatically — which is what “staple” actually means.
What does “princess seam to empire waist” do?
Princess seams are the vertical shaping seams that let a garment follow the body’s curve — the same technique used in tailored dresses. Here they run from the neckline down and finish at an empire waistline just under the bust, creating a defined bodice above and a smooth, uninterrupted line below. The visual effect lifts the waist and lengthens the leg line; the practical effect is a fit that stays smooth in movement instead of wrinkling across the middle.
How does it compare to our other adult leotards?
Honest map of the wall: if you need built-in bra support, our Eurotard 44496 V-front tank is the one designed around it — the 4401’s lining adds opacity, not support. If buttery fabric feel is your first priority, try our Energetiks camisoles side by side; ProForm EcoFlex™ is silkier, at a higher price and without the lined front. The 4401 is the middle path most dancers land on: structured, lined, colorfast, and priced to buy the second one in another color. That’s why it’s the leotard we quietly restock most often.

Sizing Guide — Eurotard Adult Apparel
Eurotard sizes adult apparel by body measurement. For leotards, girth — the loop from shoulder, down through the legs, and back — is the deciding measurement; bust matters second, since the princess seams shape to it. If two sizes both look possible, girth wins the tiebreak.
| Size | Height | Bust | Waist | Hips | Girth |

A Note from August MuseAsk us for “just a good leotard” and this is the one that lands on the counter. The princess seaming is the quiet difference — it fits like it was cut for a body, not a hanger — and the lined front means it works straight out of the bag. The honest notes: the lining adds opacity but not bra support, so if support is the requirement, let us show you the 44496 next to it. And if you’ve never felt Energetiks fabric, try both before deciding — some dancers happily pay the difference, and some happily don’t.
