Product Overview
Designed for performance and comfort, the SF Kids Fashion Crop Top is an essential garment for young athletes and performers. Whether it is for a dance troupe, a cheerleading squad, or general gymnastics, this crop top offers a secure and flexible fit that moves with the wearer. Constructed from a substantial, heavyweight fabric, it provides the necessary support for high-energy activities while maintaining a stylish, modern silhouette.
Key Features
- Sublimation-Friendly Fabric: The high polyester content makes this top perfectly suited for sublimation printing, allowing for vibrant, full-colour designs that won't peel or crack.
- Printable Elastic Band: The soft-touch elastic band is not just for comfort; it is designed to be printed on, offering a unique branding opportunity for club names or logos.
- Double-Layer Front: An integrated second layer at the front provides essential modesty and extra support, ensuring the wearer feels confident during movement.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching at the seams ensures the garment remains intact even under the stresses of active performance and frequent wear.
- Tear-Out Label: The easily removable tag allows for rebranding or simply prevents skin irritation for sensitive young wearers.
Design & Performance
The garment is crafted from a blend of 88% polyester and 12% elastane single jersey, creating a fabric that is both sturdy and exceptionally stretchy. This substantial material ensures the top retains its shape after repeated stretching, providing a consistent fit over time. The inclusion of elastane allows for 360-degree movement, which is critical for the demanding routines of dance and cheer.
The jacquard band, composed of nylon, polyester, and elastane, is engineered to sit comfortably against the skin without digging in or slipping. This technical focus on the waistband ensures the garment stays in place during jumps, tumbles, and kicks, allowing the athlete to focus entirely on their performance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that team identity is paramount. This crop top is exceptionally versatile for customisation. Embroidery is a superb choice for adding small, high-quality club crests or individual names, providing a professional and durable finish that stands up to the rigours of active use.
For those looking to make a bolder statement, print is the ideal solution. Given the fabric composition, sublimation printing allows for intricate, multi-coloured designs to be embedded directly into the fibres. This is particularly effective on the wide elastic band. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your team looks its best.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically tailored for junior performance groups. It is the go-to choice for cheerleading squads, dance schools, and gymnastics clubs requiring a uniform that combines a professional appearance with athletic functionality. It also serves as a high-quality base layer for junior athleisurewear collections.

Practical Advice
The sizing ranges from 5/6 years up to 11/12 years. Because this is a compression-style performance garment, it is designed to fit snugly. If a child is between sizes or prefers a slightly more relaxed fit for rehearsals, we recommend opting for the larger size. For a complete team kit, consider layering this under a lightweight training hoodie or pairing it with coordinating performance leggings.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance characteristics of the fabric and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove perspiration and dirt without damaging the elastane fibres that provide the garment's stretch.
Avoid the use of bleach and fabric softeners. Bleach will degrade the fabric and ruin any custom print or embroidery, while fabric softeners can coat the technical fibres, reducing their breathability and affecting the elasticity of the band. Always wash similar colours together to prevent any potential colour transfer.
This garment should not be tumble dried or dry cleaned. High heat from a tumble dryer can cause the elastane to become brittle and snap, leading to a loss of shape. For the best results, allow the top to air dry naturally. If ironing is required, use a cool setting (one dot) and avoid ironing directly over any printed or embroidered areas to prevent damage.
