Darling, June! It’s a time for sunshine, for beautiful florals, and most importantly, for the perfect leotard or tutu for that summer class. You'll be floating through those pliés with absolute style. Trust me, darlings, I've been there and done that, for many moons!

Now, we all know that a truly fashionable leotard or tutu can take you from the barre to the brunch table – effortlessly, darling! Let's break down what makes for a winner:

A Romantic Leotard:

  • Fabric - Darling, think delicate! Lace, silk, or a lovely light jersey that drapes beautifully. And be sure to choose a colour that complements your complexion – a pretty rose pink for porcelain, a lush sapphire blue for dark complexions. My darling, you simply have to glow!
  • Details – Now, you need that 'je ne sais quoi'. A delicate sweetheart neckline or a scoop back adds such a beautiful, feminine touch. Don’t forget about that lace trimming around the armholes – absolute darling, it adds a little bit of je ne sais quoi!

A Delicate Tutu:

  • The Silhouette: For June, darling, you can't go wrong with a romantic, airy tutu. A tiered style with soft, fluttering layers of tulle - or a beautifully draped, simple skirt in a delicate shade of lavender. And a delicate hint of shimmer will help you catch the sunlight beautifully!
  • Embrace a Flower: Now, this is crucial – think of a delicate blossom: a whimsical, tiny pink or peach flower tucked onto the waistband, and don't be afraid of a dash of sparkling crystal beading. This look will simply scream June and 'summer' darling!
