Why Dancers Love Velvet

Velvet catches stage lighting in a way that plain Lycra simply cannot. The texture adds depth and drama to every movement. Four-way stretch velvet keeps up with jumps, extensions, and turns without restricting range of motion.

Fit and Sizing Tips

Velvet leotards fit true to standard Australian dancewear sizing. When between sizes, size up for comfort across the shoulders. Embossed and gathered styles have a little extra give through the body. Check each product's size guide before ordering, as cuts vary across brands.

Caring for Velvet Dancewear

Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cold cycle
Turn inside out before washing to protect the velvet pile
Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight
Never iron directly on velvet. Steam lightly if needed
