Darling, I'm simply positively flouncing with excitement! Today, the 26th of November 2002, is the day that **tutus are officially declared to be in style**. Well, not actually *declared* declared, mind you, but darling, let's be honest - have you seen the *avant-garde* of late? Everything is so 'high fashion' that it's frankly, quite frightening.
Imagine you're at a black-tie gala in a **ball gown** so voluminous it looks like a meringue and then this woman sashay's past - sleek as a greyhound in **an off-the-shoulder gown**, with those oh-so-dramatic **slits**. You know what she looks like? A walking **sculpture**. But darlings, what is a sculpture without **a frame**?
And, here's the shocking truth, she **is wearing a tutu**! But not any tutu, oh, no, my dears. Think **high fashion, avant-garde,** (not that I'm recommending such outlandish **gowns**) - and she looks **positively chic**! We're talking layers upon layers of tulle and feathers, sequins that practically beg to be seen, and, if we're honest, enough feathers to cause a genuine **ostrich crisis**.
But, **darling, where to even start when talking about the allure of tutus!**
They have that delicate, whisper-soft texture. There's something so feminine and floaty. It's the **perfect balance** to all of this "heavy metal" and sleek silhouettes that seem to dominate the high fashion scene. **Tutues**, they **make a statement**. Not *shout* it, but *whisper* it - the very sound of **tulle rustling against silk** is a thing of beauty, darlings!
And speaking of silk, my darlings, are you seeing the sheer *lack* of it, **that ghastly trend for denim?** My word! They think it's a look. I can assure you, there's nothing less becoming than a **denim skirt**, that's been patched together with frayed seams, **making your figure look as unrefined** as your... well, let's not get started.
Just the *word* "denim" screams **casual**. And, darlings, **are you so casual you forget you're a woman?** Well, if you're getting a little tired of the fashion scene being all "high end" and "**urban**, this is the perfect excuse to dip your toes back into the **grace and charm** that's synonymous with **ballet**.
Just remember, it's all about **accenting your figure**. Those layers of tulle can hide a multitude of fashion sins (like maybe **those 'extra few pounds'** we've all accumulated from all that divine, decadent chocolate, after that rather exciting **curry night**. (You see? A **whimsical, light, delicious** contrast - see how the **contrast of the tutu against the silk dress** works?).
I see this **tullish trend** everywhere! The **celebrity crowd is catching on.** All you'll see at the next Gala is **tiers and tiers of beautiful, airy, delicate layers.** Honestly, darling, you can hardly tell whether they're attending the ballet or heading to a nightclub! It's simply **spectacular!**
The trick to achieving this **new "ballet chic"** is all about keeping things **minimal** and **light**, my darlings. We are, after all, *swans*! So a few pearls, some **fabulous shoes** and maybe a **tiny little jeweled clutch** and you are, without a doubt, ready for your **debut, darling!**
My word, we all **need to stop and remember what it means to be a woman**, to **dance through life, light and breezy and confident**!
Oh, but you don't need me to tell you, you **fashion savvy darling!** It's clear that **tutus are back, and they're here to stay!** So go on and enjoy them, wear them proudly and know that you're not just rocking a **trend**, you are a part of a **revolution of feminine charm.** Now isn't that **absolutely lovely?**
