It’s December Darling, And Time for The Most Exquisite Designs

Hello my loves, as the year draws to a close, it’s time to take stock. And this December, our wardrobes need a touch of something special – something to make our arabesques truly sparkle! So, I thought we'd discuss how to design a **leotard** or **tutu** to turn heads at the *Winter Ball* or at your next *performance.*

Let's be clear: this is not simply *any* old costume, darling. This is about capturing the spirit of the season – a magical mix of elegant **femininity**, classic beauty, and a touch of *winter whimsy*.

First, the leotard. I suggest a base of luxurious velvet, the *blackest* black imaginable. But for a dash of festive magic, let’s add some shimmering detail: tiny silver sequins hand-stitched in the form of a delicate *snowflake* pattern.

If a *tutu* is your preferred choice, my darlings, then we need to make it grand. Forget about those stiff, traditional tutus, it’s time for a softer, more *flowing* style, like a swirling winter storm.

Here’s how to get that showstopper look:

• Choose your fabric: The lightest, most diaphanous tulle imaginable! A soft ivory, almost like the whisper of snowfall.
• The construction: Let’s go for tiers of tulle, slightly gathered at each level for movement, like snowflakes dancing in the breeze.
• Embrace embellishments: Imagine hand-sewn *pearls* to enhance that winter elegance. Now for that whimsical touch – a scattering of tiny, faux *diamonds* embedded around the waistband for extra sparkle. It's the subtle brilliance that will *really* enchant the audience.
• Finishing touches: My darlings, it’s the tiny details that make the difference! A hand-tied, silk ribbon bow at the neckline adds that delicate charm, while elegant pearl earrings (and a bejeweled tiara, of course!) will finish your look.

Shopping list: * For the velvet leotard: * A deep black velvet from *John Lewis*. The weight should be luxurious, but not too heavy. (A *vintage* leotard might be perfect for this, if you are lucky enough to find one!) * High quality *silver sequins* can be found at *John Lewis* too – they must be *fine* quality for a high-end look. * **For the flowing tulle tutu:** * Get your tulle from *Cotswold Fabrics*. Search for a *light, ivory* shade that is *semi-sheer*, with an ethereal quality. * For the **pearls** and **diamonds,** visit *Bead and Beyond*. Their options are endless! * The perfect silk ribbons can be purchased from *Liberty*, with their gorgeous range of beautiful colours and designs.

And don’t forget, darling – the secret of truly breathtaking style isn't just about the clothes. It's about owning the moment, feeling your best and radiating confidence. And that, my dears, is something you simply have to embody.

Until next time,

With love and elegance,

Alexandra.
