Stretching the topic slightly; but where would I get red lycra knickers or very short shorts?

DD's dance dress came without a leotard, so she needs red knickers/shorts

Where on earth would I get some?

Have you tried a dance shop?
Dance direct do cycling shorts or hotpants.

She is 13

I'm not sure next shorts would move easily

Dance direct don't do red

Sorry I went to bed early last night - I was so tired

I have these in red (hot pink). Very stretchy and covers everything - maybe a size 6/8 in some other ladies styles would work?

Milano gymnastics catalogue sell them, and they are meant for dance/gymnastics.

Thanks the Milano ones are perfect

Cheaper red knickers would probably work -

Are you sorted?

If not have you thought about looking for betty boo (or is it boop?) branded knickers? They are likely be red and I bet you would find some hipster shorts style ones

Maybe try Primark? Also Debenhams will red boy shorts. :)

Or a red bikini with shorts might be easier to find.

Milano ones are £11

Bikini is a good idea too

Would it not be easier to just buy her a red leotard?
Much easier to find in dance shops and normally fairly cheap for a plain one.

I used to have to wear a red leotard for one of my dance classes and I was able to buy them for around £6 each.

No because it won't fit under the dress not sure if that will show or not

You're right you would be better with shorts.

Seen in Primark yesterday they are selling red lycra bikini shorts, if you get her a size 8 I am very sure they will fit. Think they were £2.
