The Tutu Essential: Let's be honest, it's all about the tutu! Choose your favorite color, a classic pink, a dazzling fuchsia, maybe even a glittery rainbow. We love the vibrant energy and feminine touch of the tutu.
Floral Rhapsody: Embracing the summer blooms, look for floral patterns, romantic dresses with light, airy fabrics, or playful floral print shirts. They perfectly match the feeling of a whimsical, summery dance party.
Bold Colours: Go all out with vibrant colors! Think citrusy yellows, sunshine oranges, or deep blues, perfect for capturing the vibrancy of the summer sky. Don't be afraid to clash colors - you're embracing a festival spirit!
