Darling, Itâs All About The Tutu!
As we sashay into spring, our hearts, like ballerinas in their finest tutus, leap with excitement. And wouldnât you know, the trends in leotard and tutu design have gone completely bonkers this April. Donât you just love it? So, my dears, gather your finest ribbons, sequins, and feathers; weâre crafting the must-have look for this month.
To Create the Trendiest Leotard Youâll Need:
* **A Plain Base:** Opt for a leotard in a classic colour - think black, ivory, or navy blue. They make a splendid foundation. For my go-to base, I simply adore **Ballet Rosa's âClassicâ leotard**. Youâll find them at most dance shops, and their quality is superb.
* **Sequins:** The bigger the better, darling. We are not about dainty sparkle, oh no! Think vintage glamour with sequins in a fiery colour. Look for something eye-catching, something with oomph, like **Gold Sparkle Sequins from Sew Much Fun Fabrics** or maybe a vibrant **Emerald Green from Emerald Threads**.
* **Beading:** Letâs jazz things up with some beading. A simple row along the neckline can transform even the most basic leotard. Opt for pearl beads with metallic thread for that luxurious touch. My suggestion is to browse the dazzling array of beads at **The Bead Shop** on Bond Street, they have a knack for making your wildest desires a reality.
* **Feathers:** Letâs bring in that Parisian chic with the soft touch of feathers. Imagine, darling, ostrich feathers that gently caress the arms or the back. Go for colours like blush, lilac, or a bright red, it's utterly divine! Head down to **Feather Craft London**, where youâll find feather arrangements that will make your tutu positively flutter with joy.
* **A Touch of Glamour:** Now, darling, every leotard needs its finishing touches. I suggest a delicate silk flower embellishment at the bust line. And remember, go big or go home, choose a big, show-stopping bloom in a rich velvet texture. Youâll be simply exquisite. For the very best silks, I swear by **The Silk Mill** in Chelsea, their fabrics are pure indulgence.
**The Tutu Thatâs Taking The World By Storm:**
For our tutu, we are thinking a more ethereal, layered creation, with movement and a little bit of mystery.
* **Tulle:** A mountain of tulle is a necessity, my dears! For this season, consider multiple layers of pale lilac, dusted with a whisper of glitter for that dream-like feel. Remember, **"Lavinia Tulle from the Silk Mill"** is the go-to choice for elegant tulle in London. They truly understand our ballerina souls!
* **Softness:** To give it that billowing, cascading look, weâll use **Tulle netting from the Haberdashery in Notting Hill** for a romantic flow. Layer the lilac on top, darling. The look is sublime.
* **Feathers, Darling!** We'll weave soft white feathers throughout the tulle layers for a stunning touch of lightness. It's going to be so glamorous.
Once your tutu is made, add that touch of whimsical elegance by dusting it with the finest shimmery silver glitter, or better yet, using some gold leaf dust. The choice is yours!
Now, you are not only a dancer, darling, you are an artist of the stage. We have shown you how to transform, but ultimately, remember, the secret to style is confidence, my dear. The perfect outfit should reflect who you are â not who you think you should be!
Enjoy every dance!
