Meet Our Ballet-Core Inspired Active Collection, Pilates Princess

Introducing Pilates Princessa ballet-core inspired collection that infuses ballet fashion with trendy athleisure to create functional and feminine apparel. When creating this collection, our Founder and Creative Director, Francesca Aiello, wanted the Pilates Princess to be both stylish and comfortable in her own skin, able to take on her day-to-day lifestyle with confidence while wearing clothes that support and sculpt her body. This is why Pilates Princess is much more than just a collection name, it encapsulates the girl who inspired this collection. 

So, who is our Pilates Princess? For all we know, she could be you. The Pilates Princess is the girl who likes to dress up her everyday, active ensemble; the girl who can dominate her life, from workout to workday, in style. Essentially, we're giving you the most buttery-soft, snug activewear, but with on-trend details and perfectly engineered fits. 

Welcome to the world of Pilates Princess, where streetwear and trending ballerina fashion meet. We're going to be taking a look at all the new activewear that we are introducing in this collection. So, put on your pretty makeup that makes your eyes shine like diamonds (or don't if you're actually about to hit a workout class), tie your hair with charming pink ribbons, and pirouette straight into the Pilates Princess fairytale. 

Odette Long Sleeve Top & Star Low Rise Skort

From practice to pavement, this set is ready for it all. "One of my favorite combinations from Pilates Princess," says Francesca Aiello. "I'll put a sweatshirt over this set when I go to work for an elevated but casual look, and then head to pilates, already dressed and ready to hit the reformer." 

The Odette top is designed with a built-in sports bra and a tie around the neck for adjustability. This top is both supportive and on-trend with its layered design. Odette debuts in brushstrokes of Icy Pink and Icy Gray, and pairs perfectly with the Star skort - designed to flatter with a flutter skirt silhouette, but also featuring a pair of spandex shorts underneath. Minimalist details alongside a lightweight, comfortable structure, and cool neutral colors–what more could a girl ask for? 

Clara Cutout Onesie

Clara (also debuting in Icy Pink and Icy Gray) is a staple in the Pilates Princess collection for more than one reason. This onesie is designed with our ultra-soft fabric that sculpts and smooths the body to keep you looking and feeling your best. Clara is also crafted with "princess seams," which create a custom shaped fit to your body, and extend from the waist up to the arms. 

Style Clara with a pair of high- or low-rise leggings for an effortless, layered look, or pair her with a cropped jacket for chilly morning walks. 

Pirouette Racerback Dress

Our Pirouette racerback dress is the ideal "any-activity" silhouette, because whether you're running to catch a flight or make it to a studio class, it'll be better done in the Pirouette dress. This cozy dress features a v-neck, flutter skirt, and a built-in body suit. Dress Pirouette up with leg warmers and ribbons in your hair, or dress her down with a lightweight zip up jacket.

Not used to warming up in a dress yet? That's alright! We're also introducing a racerback sports bra in the Pilates Princess collection. The Barre racerback sports bra is ready to take on any season or outing with you, also available in Icy Pink and Icy Gray.

Giselle Tank & Rehearsal Mini Low Waist Short

The Giselle x Rehearsal set is as supportive as it is feminine. Giselle is a workout tank worth living in, with a compression fit that sculpts and supports your body, plus we're obsessed with the ruched accent on the bust. 

Another signature set in our Pilates Princess collection is the Lydia asymmetrical sports bra paired with the Rehearsal mini low waist short. This is an exclusive set because of her baby floral print, Upsy Daisy. Stand out in pretty pink florals when you wear this set (with the matching water bottle!) to your next pilates class.

If you want another top to keep Pilates Princess in your rotation, check out the Aurora halter tank, designed with a comfy built-in shelf bra and a halter neck finish.  

Plié Long Sleeve Top & Pointe High Waist Legging

Our Pilates Princess story comes to an end with a classic but elevated set that will not disappoint. The Plié long sleeve top is designed with on-trend details like the cute thumb hole cutouts and ruching on the cuffs, while the Pointe high waist legging is crafted with ruching on the calves and back. Don't forget to also check out our signature Zippy high waist flare legging and our newest Warm up cutout high waist capri pants which comes with the sweetest bow accents by the ankles.
