Tutu and Ballet News

Darling, you won’t believe the tutu-tastic news that just landed on my desk!

It seems that, oh my goodness, a new study has come out from the *Institute of Tutulogy*, yep, it exists, and they have made a *shocking* discovery. Shocking, I tell you, shocking! The news is all the rage. Tutus! Can you believe it?

Apparently, according to these geniuses (do they ever use their big brains to come up with a study for the benefit of us, and not for themselves) they’ve decided the perfect tutu is, get this, “a multi-layered, tulle creation designed with precise proportions, careful draping, and attention to fabric quality.” Who knew!

And *get this*! This groundbreaking report says that the “precise” proportions and that *dramatic* drape are, wait for it, designed to help ballerinas (and you know, all you darlings out there!) achieve maximum “performance.” Performance of what, darling? Performance, they say, in *elegant* and *flowing* movements

My darlings, this has just turned my whole life upside down. All those years of buying tulle at the shops, just because of how much it billowed, when I was so, so close to being on that “precise proportions” and “fabric quality” journey all along!

But let me tell you darling, don't lose your minds with panic. You'll be *thrilled* to hear that we've gotten our hands on this EXCLUSIVE inside information: it seems there are five *fundamental* keys to perfecting the art of wearing the *perfect* tutu, that can get you on your way to being a graceful goddess:

  • Fabric choice: Listen my dears, this is crucial. The key to achieving a *tutu that floats*, *swirls*, and *glides*, lies in the selection of tulle fabric.

    Think about it, dear: A light and *soft* fabric with a gentle *drape* is, to put it lightly, a must. You want your tutu to move with your movements like it is part of you, my love, part of you! And oh my, there’s *nothing* better than the thrill of seeing that tulle, it is so delightful! That “drape” I told you about is crucial! The way it flows in a *circular motion* while twirling creates a captivating effect, you're going to *swirl*, you're going to *float*. I'm *thrilled* just imagining it.

  • Layers: Oh yes my dears, and then there are the layers! They are everything, everything, everything! They are to the tutu what layers of fabric are to haute couture: a glorious combination that will turn the simplest tutu into an *artistic* statement.

    The “perfect” tutu is not about layers for layers sake darling. *No*, no, the goal here is *graceful fullness*. Not “bloated” or *unbalanced*, but just the right amount. Just enough to give you that graceful ballerina effect you've been dreaming about. Remember my darlings, don’t get carried away! Don't use more layers of tulle than necessary! Less is *more*, more than ever. The magic, the *magic*, my love, happens with less! The *layers* will allow your tulle to achieve a cascading and *heavenly* shape, creating this *delectable* visual.

  • Proportions: Okay, dear. You want to get your head around *proportions*, now we're going somewhere, and here’s where those experts have some interesting stuff to tell us. So the tutu *must* match your body shape! Imagine, darling, *imagine*: It must *complement* you and that little bit of you that loves it to be *showcased* The tutu must fit you *beautifully*. You must feel absolutely *amazing* in it. No *bulkiness*, no *droopy*, or *sagging*, only elegance darling, only *elegant* shapes and movements that accentuate your best assets!

  • Sewing technique: Well you *must*, *must*, *must*, darling, get your stitching just right. The tutu is nothing without perfect sewing techniques! Every detail has to be taken into consideration; all these points will be *vital* to making your creation not only *visually* amazing, but *technically* a wonder! It's a masterpiece you're making! And here is the trick! It *shouldn’t* feel *stiff* and *awkward* when you wear it. That’s how you’ll *know* if you’ve chosen a proper stitch, my darlings. If the tutu fits right, the *seam lines* should practically be *invisible* and your tutu is guaranteed to be an absolute dream!

  • Confidence: Last but definitely not least, darling, confidence! Now listen carefully. *A girl* must be *confident* to look *incredible* and pull off *that* kind of ensemble. The kind of confidence you exude when you *glide* across the dance floor. When the *eyes* follow you across the room and everyone whispers about the most *amazing* ballerina *you*. Remember darling, your confidence and presence should make everyone feel that *you’re* *radiating* It’s *all about how* *you* wear it, it really *is*. Think about all those movie stars, darling. Those looks they pull off in Hollywood: it is all about the *way* they *wear* the clothes, even the simplest things become *unforgettable*, like their names on those movie billboards on the Hollywood hills. Be a Hollywood legend. And don’t forget your signature smile darling. A happy smile is going to make you even *more* beautiful! It makes a huge difference, believe me, dear!

I have been working tirelessly on a few projects of my own - with tulle, of course - and you're going to *love* the designs I've *created*. They're absolutely to *die for* and have to be seen to be believed, dear! I am going to have a *huge* party, a *grand celebration*, for the *world to see* the tulle I have dreamed up! A little *private show* with just you darlings, maybe a glass of champagne? I will make the tutus dance to perfection. They are my *love* you see, they are *more* than tulle to me! The **best** part is that with all these secrets, *everyone* will be *celebrating* this divine beauty and you can *really* feel *proud* of wearing that glorious, divine, tulle.
