The June Leotard & Tutu Trend: Be the Enviable En Pointe Darling!
Chère danseuses,
As the sun warms our limbs and the first buds of summer unfurl, so too does our desire to blossom in beautiful ballet wear. This month, I want you to channel the vibrancy of a blooming rose with your choice of leotard and tutu. Let's weave magic, dear darlings!
For a leotard, we’re embracing soft pinks and rich reds - think of a sunrise breaking through morning mist! The cut? Darling, we’re going for a classic, streamlined look that flatters your form. Think fitted but not constricting, showing off the curves you were born with, yet giving you the flexibility to pirouette like a dream.
And for your tutu... oh darling, this is where we truly elevate ourselves. Think of the graceful sway of a willow in a summer breeze. The silhouette is light and airy - no fussy, overdone layers, darling. We’re going for an ethereal feel, like you're about to float away on a summer breeze. The fabric? That's the real magic. We need something that moves like liquid moonlight. Silky tulle, as soft and ethereal as a dream.

- Tutu: Look no further than “Fifi's Atelier” for tulle as fine as spun sugar. Their "Summer Dream" is perfect - soft and romantic with just a touch of shimmer. www.fifisatelier.com
- Ribbons: Nothing finishes a tutu like a touch of silken ribbon, a whisper of colour on your perfect silhouette. You can find beautiful satin ribbons at your local craft shop, or online at the excellent "Sew-It-Yourself".www.sewityourself.com
- Patience and a touch of grace! Creating something beautiful requires time and love, darling, but trust me, the results will be spectacular.
And when you've finished crafting your unique masterpiece, you'll be the most captivating vision on the stage. Remember, my dears, there's a dancer in every woman. So get those sewing needles out and unleash the artistry within!
All the best, and Happy Dancing!
