EDIT: OK FOR EVERYONE ASKING THIS LEO MAY HAVE TRAUMATISED ME BUT SHE IS BACK FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY 🥰 Sakura was one of my fave leotards BUT then I restocked her during lockdown so nobody bought her and then I was traumatised and never brought her back. 🥲🥲🥲 so thank you @micabradbury taking her for a turn during Sleeping Beauty rehearsals! 🌸🥰 (If I were to hazard a guess, did this leo used to belong to @marianelanunezofficial?) ANYWAY I HAVE NO CHILL ABOUT THIS 📹 #RoyalBallet, Sleeping Beauty #balletdancer #dancewear #ballerina #pointe #balletleotard

Wondering about your perfect fit? Here's some handy sizing info about our leotards! 🤸Our leotards have lost of 4-way stretch for ease of movement + comfort 🤸But are naturally compressive - ie the material springs back to hold you in for a sleek, flattering fit that supports your muscles (and boobs, v.important) 🤸Because of this, I usually recommend that people take 1 size up from their usual leotard size 🤸 E.g I am 5'1 (154cm) and US size 2/AU 6/EU 34 in most clothing. I can take a size S - L, M is my preferred size. I've worn L to gymnastics classes with no problems at all! SIZE UP IF: ✨You have a long/normal torso ✨You have wider hips ✨ You have been blessed with breastage on your chestage TAKE YOUR NORMAL SIZE IF: ✨ You have a small frame and a normal/short torso Under each product page, you can scroll to the 'size guide' tab for specific measurements to help you get the right fit! From L - R @jessgfg wears L @kimberlinachan wears XL @charmainecelesse wears M 📸 @jovian.lim 〰 #Ballet #AdultBalletGang #AdultBalletCommunity #BalletLeotard #Dancewear #BalletBody #EthicallyMade #BalletWear #Leotard #DanceLeotard #Dance #Ballett

Some straight up transparency. I always worry about greenwashing — I don't want to use words like "ethical" "sustainable", "organic" etc as nice-sounding phrases to sell a product. When we create our dancewear I try and ensure it is as eco-friendly as reasonably possible. But it's definitely challenging - it's hard for big businesses, much less small ones! It's a balancing act between what we can reasonably compromise on and what we can't, while still feeling comfortable calling ourselves an ethical brand. I try to err on the side of ethics - I mean, a $50 dance t shirt is expensive! But our profit margins for it are not very high, because treating/paying people fairly and having high eco-consideration at every level of the supply chain is expensive. At the same time I don't want to price it so high people can't buy it. But with what I know about the garment industry I don't feel comfortable compromising and choosing a supplier without stringent ethical, quality and eco certifications. Sure, it would be cheaper and I'd sell more tees and make more money, but that's not what I want C&V to stand for. Sometimes we err on the side of practicality — our dance bags are made of mixed materials because that's the only way to make a bag with loads of handy features that can last through all kinds of wear and tear. If we went with a more seemingly eco-friendly route but ended up with products that wore out quickly and need to be replaced, that's not good for you guys, much less the planet. At the very least, my aim is to try and create products that last because higher quality = less waste. It's a constant push-pull - how can we be better versus what can we feasibly do as a small business that needs to earn money to keep going? And I think it's important to be honest with you guys about this, so that you can make informed decisions about whether to invest in any C&V products. After all, we have only have one planet, and we are stewards of it. Happy #EarthDay. 🌈🌱✨

Dancing/doing/eating my way in London and Paris! I felt so overwhelmed before travelling because I hadn't been to Europe since The Plague. But it was refreshing, inspiring and freeing to rediscover parts of me* and realise how much I'd grown since my last visit. Thank you to most of all to friends new and old who graciously found time to meet me; I was thinking the other day about how strange and wonderful to have a job where I can go halfway across the world, and then a couple of DMs or texts later I'm sitting having a cup of tea with someone talking about dance, life and everything in between - or bumping into customers at the ballet! 🩰 📷 ✨ Taking my @cloudandvictory alpacallama leotard and @imperfectpointes tights to a ballet class on a raked staged à Paris, conducted entirely in French by @maxime_thomas_ ** ✨ Coffee and convincing @leobaulac to do Korean hearts with me 💖 ✨ @danceworkslondon after a fantastic open choreo @ezzyxnzewi class! ✨ @bleuenn_battistoni, @thomas.docquir and the wonderfully wise @jeanpierrefrohlich rehearsing In the Night at @balletoperadeparis ✨ One of many croissants in Paris 🥐🥐🥐*** ✨ Giggles with @francescavelicu in @englishnationalballet before an inspiring @mavin_khoo led ballet class**** ✨Teatime talks with @yasmine_naghdi ✨ A tour of the @royaloperahouse and sneaky peeks into rehearsals thanks to dear @lahollings ✨ @patricia_zhou and I always try to make time for each other ✨ Sucessfully turning my Pas de Chonk Chonk tee into #FASHUN when I realised I did not bring enough clothing to socialise with people *Including the part that full on CRIED watching Bernadette Peters sing Sondheim **or honestly, just trying to figure out wtf was going on because I am a ignorant tourist DESOLE MAXIME je ne parles francais je suis plebe ***Full croissant ranking to follow @minisokay ****Francesca is entirely responsible for sparking my obsession with pistachio-flavoured desserts in Europe of which there are a great many delicious ones #ballet #smallbusiness #bigheart

[swipe for more] PETITION FOR ETIENNE TO SHOW HIS BACK ABS IN THE LILY LEO. My phone dinged at a random hour the other day to a bunch of pictures @etienneferrere sent me wearing the C&V Lily leo (in 2XL, fyi.) Like ngl, he looks great?! The cut legit works?! So can we collectively persuade him for a back shot so we can see his back abs - I mean - reassure him that it's not too feminine? And Etienne and anyone else interested in the Cat leotard - limited quantities dropping in November (Novempurrrr???) 🐈💖 #ballet #dance #balletdancer #boysdance #maledancer

Besties I know it's a really hard lift but I really question the thought process that culminated in "you know what would be cool? If you used your hand as her butt seat!" 🫠😬 📸 Spring Waters, the Metropolitan Ballet #ballet #dance #pasdedeux #balletdancer #balletlife #dancememes
