Women’s Silhouette Mesh Inset Bodice Tank Leotard Eurotard | Adult
A Tank Leotard in the Silhouette line uses mesh as an accent. The defining feature of this style is a deep, centered V inset that runs the full length of the bodice, from the neckline down to the waistline. It’s a longer V than most adult leotards attempt, and because the mesh is lined behind. The effect is a leotard that feels more fashion-forward than a plain tank, without sacrificing the coverage most adult dancers want at the front of a class.
The back tells a different story entirely. Like other styles in the Silhouette Mesh collection, the 41227’s back is open with mesh fabric, with no lining, dropping low. Where the front is a controlled, lined design, the back is genuinely sheer and exposed. The contrast between the two is really the whole point of this leotard — a composed, graphic front paired with an unmistakably open back.
How is the front V different from the 41421’s mesh panel?
Both the 41227 and the 41421 use a lined mesh V at the front, so neither is sheer there — but the proportions are different. The 41421’s front V sits higher, closer to the neckline, and reads as a decorative accent. The 41227’s V is longer, running all the way down to the waistline, which makes it a much more prominent design element. It’s the difference between a detail and a statement. If you want the mesh treatment but a more modest, contained version of it, the 41421 is the better fit. If you want the V to be the visual centerpiece of the leotard, the 41227 delivers that.
Is the front sheer, even though it’s mesh?
No — the front V inset on the 41227 is lined, meaning there’s a solid layer of fabric behind the mesh. You see the texture and visual depth of the mesh, but there’s no skin showing through it. This makes the front appropriate for most adult class settings, including more traditional studios, despite how striking the design looks. The boldness here comes from the shape and length of the V, not from any lack of coverage.
What should I expect from the open back?
The back is the genuinely sheer part of this leotard. It’s mesh only, unlined, and drops low — consistent with the open-back design used throughout the Silhouette Mesh collection. This is a leotard built for dancers who are comfortable with an open back and want that element of their dancewear to be visible and expressive. It’s well suited to contemporary, lyrical, and modern classes, as well as performance and intensive settings, but it’s worth knowing about in advance if you’re shopping for something more conservative — the front’s modesty doesn’t carry through to the back.
How does the wide-set tank strap affect the fit?
The 41227 uses wide-set mesh tank straps rather than the narrower straps found on camisole styles. The wider, more spread-apart placement provides a bit more stability across the shoulders and chest, which some adult dancers find more secure during high-movement class work like jumps and turns. Because the straps are mesh rather than solid fabric, they stay visually light and don’t compete with the front V design — the eye goes straight to the centerpiece of the leotard rather than to a heavy strap.

Eurotard adult sizing runs consistently across their microfiber styles. The 41227 fits true to size for most dancers. If you’re between sizes, sizing up is generally the right call for comfort, though keep in mind the front V will sit slightly lower on a larger size — if waistline placement matters to you, an in-store fitting is worth the trip.

A Note from August MuseThe 41227 is the boldest front design in our Silhouette Mesh lineup — that V runs all the way to the waist, and it’s clearly meant to be the focal point of the leotard. What surprises people is that it’s not sheer at all; the lining keeps it completely appropriate for class. The back is a different story, and that contrast is really what this leotard is about. If you’ve tried the 41421 and want something with a more dramatic front, this is the next step up.
We carry it in Black and Navy. Come in and try it on — the proportions of that front V are worth seeing in person before you decide.
