Actual ballet costumes absolutely require a full, boned bodice, front and back. Not two ribbons up the front. Not something backless. Not something that requires glue to keep it from showing bewbs at any given moment.
The bewb-showing is the obvious part of that requirement. The inobvious part is that dancers wearing tutus (who may or may not be biologically female, see Les Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo for reference) participate in lifts. Lifts are when the dancer doing the lift places both hands just above the waist of the dancer wearing the tutu, and heaves said dancer into the air. Without a full, fully boned bodice, those two ribbons and/or any of the backless options can get ripped away, leaving the audience with partial nudity. Without a full, fully boned bodice, the lifting dancer is going to have his hands slip on sweaty skin, causing drops, falls, and potentially career-ending injuries.
And if you think ballet dancers don't sweat....
