Dear Karena and Farasha,
At the same time, the dance is not all about us and motherhood. The idea is to present the dance, and not our scars and stretch marks to the world. They in no way enhance the dance or make it better to observe, or dance, and often make the audience and the dancer who is flaunting them uncomfortable, therefore defeating the purpose.


Dear Mosaic,
I would probably go with the same size around as your average dance leotard for class would be. Either go and buy a cheap leo, wear it for awhile and use that measurement, or use the measurement on one that you already have that is getting a bit worn out. Powernet fits a bit tighter than lycra.
Oh, and BTW, I have read a lot of stuff that says not to put them in the washer and dryer. I do that all the time and mine last for literally years.
