Darling, Let's Design a Tutu This December Well, December is upon us and all I can think about is this glittering Christmas party and the fabulous tutus that are just screaming to be worn! Now darling, you simply must have a tutu to steal the show and make your ballet heart sing this Christmas. I always love a touch of sparkle and whimsy when I design my costumes. Here’s what you'll need, all ready to give your Christmas the *je ne sais quoi* to ensure your style is beyond a 'perfect ten'! * **A fabulous base.** Let’s keep it classic. The perfect tulle skirt with five to six layers. For this one, darling, go for the finest. There's just no excuse for skimping! Head over to my beloved Ballet Shop, they’ll help you choose your tutu, or they can custom-make you a dream tutu, the colour of your heart's desire. But do hurry, darling, there's only a few weeks to Christmas! * **Next, a sprinkle of fairy dust.** Now this is my favourite part, and frankly it's the most important to give you a real "WOW" effect, as we're all about standing out this festive season. So let's go for some dazzling sequins! Don’t shy away from colour - deep ruby red is certainly going to set you alight. For this, darlings, only the finest quality will do. I head to The Embellishment Emporium. A true haven for sparkling delights. * **You are ready to dazzle the party now, but we'll take it up a notch further with the finishing touches.** This is where I truly unleash my creative side! And as I've learned throughout the years, it's all about adding a delicate touch of personality. This December I'll be opting for luxurious feathered trim from The Plume Gallery – for just the right fringe, a touch of romance to add the extra *je ne sais quoi*. * **Then, of course, no ballet masterpiece is complete without the perfect leotard. ** I always suggest something understated – the key is to allow your beautiful tutu to take center stage. I always pick a soft shade of beige or black. And if you're truly going for the 'wow' factor then don't be afraid of embellishing this piece too - add a sprinkling of glitter and the world will be your stage, darlings! My absolute favourite for leotards, particularly as the Christmas period approaches, is a shop tucked away in a little cobbled street just off Bond Street, it's called Dance Diva and the staff know exactly what to do to make your look unforgettable, darling! Don't tell anyone but, I use them to get me the very finest tights too! They even have some great discounts coming up. They won't be around forever, though, so be quick! * **Let’s complete your look darling with the *coup de grace.*** Nothing will tie this together like some perfectly selected jewelry, which can make your Christmas performance divine, my dearest! To keep my jewelry pristine and free of sequins I buy them at the Antique Bazaar near Knightsbridge and only wear them with my best costumes. For you my dears, anything will do, you only have this Christmas to shine! So choose some classic pieces, a necklace and maybe a bracelet. * **And my final word:** The art of creating a glamorous look is about telling a story. Have fun, be confident and, darlings, I assure you, this Christmas you'll truly take center stage!
