Girls' Chitons: Draping That Never Gets in the Way

A chiton is an asymmetric tunic draped over one shoulder — a classic choice for rhythmic gymnastics and stage choreography numbers. Unlike an ordinary top, a chiton gives more freedom through the shoulders and moves beautifully through turns and swings.

What They're Made Of

• Lightweight knit or biflex — holds the drape without adding weight in motion.
• Soft mesh inserts — add sheerness to the silhouette without losing support.
• Asymmetric one-shoulder cut — never restricts arm reach.

When to Wear One

A chiton works equally well for training sessions focused on line work and for performances — just pair it with leggings for the studio or wear it on its own for the stage. Choose a snug size: loose fabric in a chiton swallows the body line the drape is supposed to highlight.

Caring for the Fabric

Hand wash the chiton's knit and mesh, or wash in a laundry bag at 30°C with no spin cycle — the drape holds its shape longer and the mesh inserts stay undistorted.

Why MakGrace

1. The cut is tested in real training sessions and performances.
2. The shoulder asymmetry stays put even after vigorous movement.
3. The size chart lines up with the rest of the line's models.

For Beginners and for Competition

A chiton performs just as well in daily line-work training as it does on stage — the difference is mostly in the trim, not the cut.
