The Must-Have Tutu for December: Parisian Chic Darlings, the festive season is upon us and, of course, every dancer needs a show-stopping ensemble to really sparkle on the stage. This December, I'm all about Parisian chic – elegant, timeless and utterly feminine. Forget those bright, gaudy tutus! We're going for something understated, with a touch of effortless grace that will leave the audience mesmerized. **Key Ingredients:** * **The Base:** Choose a classic tulle skirt in the palest blush or champagne. I adore the hand-sewn tulle from *La Danse*, their quality is second to none. Aim for at least six layers for a billowing, luxurious effect. * **The Leotard:** This is where we inject a little personality. I'm loving a deep burgundy velvet leotard. Look for one with delicate straps and perhaps a subtle scoop back. *Ballet Essentials* has a great range of velvet options. * **The Sparkle:** Let's not forget that touch of Christmas magic. A delicate silver ribbon threaded through the tulle creates a hint of shimmer. Remember, it's about subtlety here – we don't want a disco ball on stage! I recommend the shimmering ribbons from *Sew Lovely*. * **Finishing Touches:** Don't neglect the details. A beautiful, classic ballet shoe with satin ribbon in a coordinating shade will complete the look. And, of course, nothing beats a touch of perfume to finish the look! **The Parisian Chic: Putting it Together** Start by slipping on your velvet leotard. The colour should feel rich and luxurious. Next, layer your tulle skirt over the leotard. Let it cascade and fall softly around you. It's all about the flow. Then, discreetly thread your silver ribbon through the tulle, creating a delicate shimmering trail as you move. Remember to keep the ribbon low to ensure it remains subtle. Finally, add a pair of elegant ballet shoes and, of course, a touch of your favourite perfume. And there you have it, darlings. Parisian Chic. You'll feel graceful, confident, and utterly radiant. A tutu fit for a Christmas fairy tale!
