Autumn lace crop tops and booty shorts that actually perform. Designed and sewn in Pink Lemon's Melbourne factory, this collection pairs delicate lace detailing with bold leopard print and a fit that stays put through every plié, leap and turn. Pretty and practical, all at once.
What Makes These Lace Crop Tops and Booty Shorts Different
Lace in dancewear needs to do more than look good. These pieces deliver on both counts. The lace panels add texture and visual interest without restricting movement. Fabric stretches with the body, not against it. Your dancer can focus on technique, not on pulling her top back down between combinations.
Every seam is finished to handle the demands of studio training. That means no unravelling after a few washes, no pilling on the lace, and no waistband that rolls mid-class. Built in Melbourne, made to last the season.
The Autumn Lace Collection: What to Expect
Lace Crop Tops
Cut to sit at the natural waist with enough coverage for class but enough style for photos and performances. The lace overlay sits over a soft, supportive base layer so there is no need for an extra crop underneath. Colours this season lean into warm, earthy tones that work beautifully with the leopard print pieces.
Booty Shorts
A studio staple. These sit high enough to stay in place but cut to allow full leg extension without riding up. The waistband is wide and flat, no digging in during floor work. Pair them with the matching lace crop for a pulled-together look, or mix with any other Pink Lemon piece for your own combination.
Fabric and Fit: What Dance Mums Need to Know
All pieces in this collection use stretch fabric blends that move freely and hold their shape wash after wash. The lace is soft to touch and sits flat against the skin, no scratching or irritation during long rehearsals. Moisture-wicking properties help keep your dancer comfortable whether she is in a warm studio or a cooler space.
Sizing follows standard Australian dancewear conventions. If your daughter is between sizes, size up for lace crop tops to allow for layering. Booty shorts can generally be sized to her current leotard size. If you are unsure, check the size guide on each product page before ordering.

Styling the Autumn Lace Range
The leopard print and lace combination is bold without being over the top. It photographs well for eisteddfod and competition season, and it holds up equally well as everyday class wear. A few easy ways to wear these pieces:
- Lace crop top with matching booty shorts for a complete set look
- Lace crop layered over a classic leotard for extra warmth and texture
- Booty shorts paired with a plain crop in a tonal colour from the same warm palette
- Add a mesh skirt or warm-up pants over the top for cooler mornings
The pieces are designed to mix within the Pink Lemon range, so if your dancer already has pieces from previous seasons, there is a good chance they will coordinate.

All pieces are made in limited runs in our Melbourne factory. Once a size or colourway sells out, it may not be restocked. If something catches your eye, it is worth grabbing it early in the season.
