Dance · Basics

Leotards, skirts, shorts, tights and academiques: the basis of every dancer wardrobe, made by Maillots Pavlova.

Basics are what a dancer puts on most often: leotards, ballet skirts, shorts, tights and unitards. So they have to survive washing and still sit after a year of classes. These models are made in house at Maillots Pavlova, in sizes for children and adults. If you are unsure about the size, we measure in the shop and adjust where needed.

Veelgestelde vragen

What if no size fits?

Then it becomes made to measure. Maillots Pavlova designs and sews in house, so an existing model can be adapted to the wearer, or a pattern can be made from scratch. Have yourself measured in the shop in Bruges or Schoten; there we see straight away where the cut needs work.

Can I come and try things on first?

Yes. Maillots Pavlova has shops in Bruges and Schoten where you can try things on and be measured. That is the safest way to choose, because sizes run differently per model and per brand. You can save your favourites in a list on the webshop and bring that list along or send it ahead, so everything is ready when you arrive.

What counts as basics?

Basics are the items a dancer wears most often: leotards, ballet skirts, shorts, tights and unitards. They are meant for daily class and training, not for the stage. At Maillots Pavlova they are made in house, in sizes for children and adults.
