2003
2024 marks Sylvia P Teamwear’s 30th
year in business. Thirty years of living and
breathing gymnastics. Thirty years as
a female-founded, family-run business.
Thirty years of design and development
innovation. And thirty years of manufacturing the highest quality garments that
are #LikeNoOther.
Over this incredible three-decade run,
we’ve made 1 million leotards for our
loyal clientele, using over 100 million
crystals on garments. We can take great
pride in being 100% Australian-made,
expanding our reach to warehouses in
the USA with the ability to ship internationally. Sylvia P Teamwear leotards
have grown to dominate the Australian marketplace, and having launched
into the US market in 2018, we’re
now recognized—rightfully so—as a
global leader in the gymnastics industry.
This showcases our journey from
humble beginnings to industry leaders.

was starting, from
sewing to payroll and
customer care.

Acquiring a CNC
cutting machine,
eliminated the
need for manual
labour cutting
and revolutionised the pattern-making
process, significantly increasing production
