Womens Plus Size Short Sleeve Leotard

I am a women's size 10-14 depending on the brand, but I bought this plus-size leotard because of my proportions (5'2", 150lb, large bust and belly) and because the reviews for this item and the straight size version recommended to size up. Don't! Just measure yourself and buy according to that. I could've easily gone one or even two sizes smaller. The leotard is still very comfortable and at the price I'm happy to keep it, but it is a little baggy around the butt and the arms are loose. The widest part of my upper arm is about 13.5 inches, for reference. It would be nice to have measurements listed for the full length of the leotard and sleeve opening size. I also gave this product a 2 in durability because the tag in the side was bothering me so I cut it out. Unfortunately this ripped open the side seam and I had to sew it back together. Altogether, though, I'm not unhappy. I'd rather anything be slightly too big than slightly too small.

Well made, stylish, comfortable and durable. This Leotard fits true to size.

While I have only tried it on once, for fit, I still have to properly work out in it and wash it. It did feel slightly tight getting on, I'm sure that's because the material is different than what I used during my high school and college dance classes.

The leotard is a 2X. I am 16-18, under 1X with a chest and bust 44B and the 2X is a perfect fit for me. However the tights in 2X wouldn't stretch over ONE of my thighs and I have skinny thighs and no butt. It read 2X and looked sized for a child.

Finding leotards in larger sizes isn't easy, so I was hopeful with the expanded size choices. However, I was disappointed to find this leotard lacked the structure of other brands/sizes. It was soft and stretchy, but doesn't hold its shape or provide much support. The thin seams also made me question its durability. I'll have to pass on this one.

I was nervous about buying a short sleeve leotard, because I thought it may be too tight around the arms. I'm glad I decided to buy anyway....it is SO comfortable! I have bought a few other leotards from DD (3/4 sleeve and the tank) but this one is now my favorite. Very light, almost like sweat-wicking, very flatteting, and very comfortable.

I used to LOVE these leotards. A lot. They were AMAZING. But recently I bought a new one and it almost made me cry. I am a college student trying to learn ballet, and the one brand that fits me went and changed the way they fit. They are shorter and smaller. Why did they do this? The other ones were great. Now I have nowhere to get leotards from and I’m very sad. Also, college students have no money, so I appreciate the price. That was one of the reasons I loved these so much!!

This leotard is so comfortable! It has great coverage in all the necessary areas, and I can move very easily. Use the sizing chart! It's very nice and smoothing of any bumps and lumps your body might have. Does the job perfectly!

Very comfortable and flattering. The size chart was very helpful and accurate. I'm 5'8 and a size 16 and the 2X fit perfectly!

I ordered this leotard for my daughter who is really a 3x but since 2x was the biggest they had, I ordered it and held my breathe. To my surprise is did fit. Full coverage on her bottom, the material have good stretch to it, its very slimming too.

Love this Leotard. Comfortable to wear around the house and with jeans or just to relax in. Male Ballet dancer, Have slim upper body with huge thighs and the fit is great. Goes well with leg warmers. Very inexpensive and stylish. Wear the 2XXL, Love the colors. Maybe more sizes and colors would be great.

Short sleeved plus size leotard fits a taller, curvy girl beautifully. Leotard is well-made. Would recommend to others.

I ordered this in a 2X and typically wear an XL in regular street clothes. It's very stretchy and it's a nice shiny material that doesn't show sweat. I like the short sleeves because I have flabby arms and these sleeves are comfy and stay put. I would definitely recommend. I have worn this and washed it at least five times and it still looks like new. My only complaint is that since the back isn't lined it is rather sheer so I always wear a skirt to cover my booty.

I'm a senior citizen taking my first dance class; comfortable fit; accurate sizing chart; prompt deliver; other vendors don't have plus size inventory (waiting up to 2-3 weeks)

I am a rather busty dancer, so it is difficult to find leotards that fit, and this is a wonderful solution. It has a shelf bra that helps tie down the jiggles, and I think it is really cute with the little sleeve. The only down side is it doesn't come in multiple colors and I wish I could have a white one as well for a performance.

This is a wonderful leotard. It is cut a bit high in the back so that you can wear a bra, and fit with the bigger girl in mind. Fabric breathes and easily washes in the machine. So happy, so I just bought a few more.

It's not the same as the picture. The sleeves are longer, which I like, and it's not so low in the front, which I like. It's not constricting, but still holds you in somewhat. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it's not the one pictured.

This is a great leotard. It's very comfortable and fits great. The only issue I had with it was that the front wasn't cut as low as it looks in the picture. It's not as much of a scoop as it appears. It is nice and the shelf feels pretty secure.

Great material, great cut. I'm 5'11", 175lbs, and a 1X fits great. In fact, I can wear it backward if I want a lower neck in front. Fits better than any leotard I had when I was young. Perfect for exercising or under jeans.
