November's Must-Have Leotard & Tutu Darling, it’s November, which means a new season of performance and rehearsals. And nothing inspires me more than a fresh, fashionable outfit to dance in. So, naturally, I have some inspired ideas for the perfect November look - that will leave you looking **divine**! Your leotard, darling: It’s all about sleek lines, delicate detailing and **an element of surprise**, so this season we're opting for a classic deep-cut sweetheart neckline, for a touch of vintage glamour. Think ballet as a bygone era, when every detail was crafted with artistry, and the elegance of a ballerina's silhouette reigned supreme. Now, don't just stop there, love. We need to elevate this beauty further. Look for a stunning mesh or tulle overlay in an ethereal blush tone or, if you’re feeling a bit bolder, try a daring charcoal grey. Remember, the perfect **contrast** will highlight the femininity of your leotard beautifully! **Your tutu, my darling: ** A classic is always a must for any ballet dancer's wardrobe. For November, think romance and drama. This season it's all about **voluminous** tulle. You want a soft cloud of colour to surround your every movement. For that **breathtaking** effect, aim for several layers - five or six will work beautifully - and a generous circumference for a look that radiates with effortless glamour. And remember, **less is more**! I recommend sticking with a simple satin ribbon, allowing the intricate folds and pleats of the tulle to be the focus of your costume. **The Final Touch, My Dear:** To add the perfect dash of drama, experiment with some **exquisite, shimmering crystals** at the bust or at the edge of the skirt. Let these exquisite sparkles create the perfect glow for your November performance! Now, let’s make it happen! **You’ll need:** * A basic deep-cut sweetheart neckline leotard - my pick: "The Prima," found online at **www.dansedeluxe.co.uk** * **An exquisitely delicate, flowy tulle overlay** in either blush or charcoal: **www.dansefabrics.com** has all you could possibly dream of * **Your basic classic tutu:** opt for **www.tututimes.com**, and don't forget to ask for the additional, "luxury" layer of tulle to give your skirt its ethereal movement * **And, my dear, the crystals!:** Head to **www.crystalcity.co.uk** for some stunning additions. And, with this ensemble, you’ll be **the most fabulous ballerina** on the stage! Don’t forget, my darlings, to keep your poise, and let the beauty of movement tell the tale of the ballet, and remember... **you’ll always be the star of the show!**
