Whether you are a dance mum restocking the kit before term starts or a dancer who has had her eye on something special, this guide walks you through everything that is new, what makes each piece worth adding to your cart, and how to shop with ease.
What Is New in the Pink Lemon Collection
Our newest arrivals span velvet leotards, mesh skirts, crop tops and shorts, giving dancers plenty of options whether they train in ballet, contemporary, jazz or hip hop. Every piece is cut and sewn in our Melbourne factory using fabrics chosen for stretch, softness and long-lasting colour. Below is a closer look at each new style.
Lani Gathered Front Velvet Leotard
The Lani Gathered Front Velvet Leotard is a standout piece for dancers who love a bit of detail without fuss. The gathered front panel adds texture and visual interest, while the velvet fabric moves with the body and holds its shape through barre work, floorwork and everything in between. Velvet dancewear has become a firm favourite in Australian studios for good reason: the fabric feels luxurious, photographs beautifully under stage lighting, and wears incredibly well through repeated washing. If you are curious about how velvet compares to other fabrics in terms of fit and durability, our detailed breakdown in the ultimate guide to choosing velvet dancewear in Australia covers everything you need to know before you buy.
Lily Cross Over Pull on Pink Mesh Skirt
The Lily Cross Over Pull on Pink Mesh Skirt is the kind of skirt that layers effortlessly over a leotard for ballet class or pairs with a crop for contemporary. The crossover waistband sits securely without digging in, and the soft pink mesh floats beautifully when dancers spin or leap. It pulls on and off quickly, which any dance mum rushing between classes will appreciate.
Kiki Velvet Crop Top
Cut from the same premium velvet as the Lani leotard, the Kiki Velvet Crop Top is a versatile piece that works with high-waisted shorts, leggings or a skirt. The fit is supportive without being restrictive, and the velvet finish means it looks polished even on casual training days. Pair it with the Glow Splice Velvet Dance Shorts for a matching set that is ready for class or competition.
Indie Velvet Dance Crop Top
The Indie Velvet Dance Crop Top has a slightly different silhouette to the Kiki, with a design that suits dancers who prefer a relaxed but still fitted look. It is a great option for older dancers in jazz or hip hop styles who want something with a bit more edge. Like all Pink Lemon velvet pieces, the fabric is soft against the skin and maintains its rich colour after many washes.
Glow Splice Velvet Dance Shorts
The Glow Splice Velvet Dance Shorts bring colour-blocked energy to the studio. The splice detail makes them eye-catching without being over the top, and the velvet fabric means they sit comfortably at the waist and move with every kick, leap and turn. These shorts pair naturally with both the Kiki and Indie crop tops for a coordinated look.
Why Shop Australia Made Dancewear
Buying locally made dancewear is not just a feel-good choice. It is a practical one. When dancewear is produced in Australia, quality control happens closer to home, sizing is designed for Australian children rather than adapted from overseas templates, and you are supporting skilled garment workers in our community.
At Pink Lemon, our Melbourne factory means we oversee every step from fabric cutting through to finished garment. That is why our leotards, crops and skirts are consistently well-constructed and sized accurately. Parents tell us they order the same size year after year because the fit is reliable, and that consistency matters when you are buying online without trying something on first.
Our broader range also includes long-standing favourites like the Rosie Capped Sleeve Velvet Leotard, the Coco Leotard and the Gracie Leotard for those who want a classic silhouette, as well as crop and short sets like the Sugar Crop and Short Set and the Steffi Crop & Short Set for dancers who prefer a coordinated two-piece. If you want to explore how our velvet styles compare across the full range, our guide on comparing velvet dancewear styles, fits and quality in Australia is a helpful starting point.

How to Style the New Arrivals
Not sure how to put together a complete look? Here are a few easy combinations to get you started.
Ballet and Contemporary Classes
The Lily Cross Over Pull on Pink Mesh Skirt worn over the Lani Gathered Front Velvet Leotard makes a beautiful ballet pairing. The colours complement each other naturally, and the combination is practical enough for a full class. Add the Ballet Legging underneath on cooler days for warmth without bulk.
Jazz and Hip Hop Classes
For jazz or hip hop, the Indie Velvet Dance Crop Top or Kiki Velvet Crop Top paired with the Glow Splice Velvet Dance Shorts gives a cohesive, studio-ready look. Layer the Rebel Leggings or Anika Leggings underneath if the studio is cold or if the dancer prefers more coverage during warm-up.
Competition and Concert Days
For performance days, the Lani Gathered Front Velvet Leotard is a strong solo choice given how beautifully velvet catches stage lighting. Pack extras like the Girls Dance Hair & Bun Nets and Clear Elastics from our accessories range so the dancer is fully prepared before she steps into the wings. You can browse all the finishing touches in our latest dancewear and accessories arrivals to make sure nothing is forgotten on the day.
Building a Complete Dance Kit
The new arrivals are a great excuse to refresh the whole kit. Alongside the five new pieces, Pink Lemon offers a wide range of basics and accessories that every young dancer needs throughout the year.
For the dancer who needs a full wardrobe refresh, consider pairing new tops and shorts with a reliable leotard like the Alannah Leotard or Alegra Leotard, adding a pair of the Heidi Leggings or Brooklyn Leggings for cooler months, and picking up a SMALL MAKE UP BAG PINK LEMON or LARGE MAKE UP BAG PINK LEMON for competition days. The Lycra Dance Brief and High Waisted Eco Dance Brief are also worth adding as under-leotard essentials that wash well and hold their shape.
If you are shopping for a younger dancer just starting out, a set like the Miss Molly, Miss Olivia Set or Miss Anna Set offers a complete, coordinated look that takes the guesswork out of getting dressed for class.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is all Pink Lemon dancewear made in Australia?
Yes. All Pink Lemon dancewear is designed and sewn in our Melbourne factory. We control the full production process, which means consistent sizing, quality construction and fabrics selected specifically for active movement.
Do I need a minimum order amount to get free shipping?
No. Free shipping applies to all orders across Australia with no minimum spend required. Simply add your items to the cart and free shipping will be applied automatically at checkout.
How do I choose the right size for my dancer?
Each product page includes a size guide based on age and measurements. We recommend measuring your dancer's height and chest and comparing to the guide before ordering. If your dancer is between sizes, sizing up generally gives more room to move and a longer wear period as she grows.
Can I wash velvet dancewear at home?
Yes. Pink Lemon velvet pieces are designed to be washed at home. We recommend a cold gentle cycle in a laundry bag and air drying flat to preserve the fabric's texture and colour. Avoid wringing or tumble drying on high heat.
