Autumn Lace Crop Tops and Booty Shorts are here, and they are made for dancers who want to look as good as they move. Designed and sewn in our Melbourne factory, this collection pairs delicate lace detailing with bold leopard print and a fit that stays put through every plié, leap and turn.
What Makes the Autumn Lace Collection Different
Lace in dancewear sounds pretty. It also needs to perform. These pieces do both. 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 shorts back down.
The booty shorts sit firmly at the hip. No riding up mid-routine. No adjusting between combinations. The waistband is wide enough to feel secure, snug enough to stay flat under a leotard or crop top.
The crop tops offer just enough coverage for class while looking polished for performances and eisteddfods. Pair them with the matching shorts for a coordinated look, or mix with other pieces from our autumn range to build an outfit she will actually reach for every week.
Fabric, Fit and Sizing
What the Fabric Does
The main fabric is a soft, four-way stretch performance knit that moves with the dancer and holds its shape after repeated washing. Lace panels are carefully placed so they add style without creating bulk or irritation against the skin. Everything is finished and checked in our Melbourne factory before it leaves.
Getting the Fit Right
Pink Lemon sizing follows Australian conventions. If your dancer is between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit through the hips and seat. The crop top can be sized to match the shorts or worn one size up for a slightly longer line through the torso. Check the size guide on each product page before ordering.

How to Style the Autumn Lace Pieces
These pieces work across a range of dance styles including jazz, acro, contemporary and hip hop. Here are a few ways to wear them:
- Crop top and matching booty shorts for a complete performance-ready look.
- Booty shorts under a leotard for extra coverage during tricks and tumbling.
- Crop top layered over a long-sleeve base for cooler studio mornings.
- Mix the leopard print shorts with a plain crop in a complementary colour for a styled rehearsal outfit.
The leopard print and lace combination is bold without being busy. It photographs well on stage and holds up to the demands of a full day at a competition.
Care and Longevity
Performance dancewear lasts longer with a little care. Turn pieces inside out before washing. Use a cold, gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Skip the dryer. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to keep the lace and print looking sharp for longer. Washed and cared for properly, these pieces hold their shape and colour across a full season of classes and performances.
