Darlings! July! Oh, the joy! We’re shedding our winter woollies, stepping out onto the sun-kissed stage and dancing the season of warmth and celebration. This month, I’m all about **fresh, delicate tones** that catch the light just like a dragonfly’s wings. Think **soft peaches**, **sheer lemon** or even a **cool, creamy mint** for your **tutu**, darlings, but I wouldn’t hesitate to try **iridescent shades** – think **sparkling lavender** with **hints of teal**. For the **leotard**, let's move towards a **luxurious yet sleek aesthetic**. Perhaps a **luxurious gold** for a touch of royalty, or a **sophisticated silver** with a hint of glitter for those magical nights. And **let’s not forget the jewels**, my dears! **Tiny pearl accents**, a **few strategically placed rhinestones** for that extra shimmer and sparkle... Now, I know you all want to be the most **breathtaking** and **fabulous** at your summer ballets! Here's the inside scoop on **creating** the most **popular** tutu or leotard style for this fabulous month: Here's What You Need, My Dearest Dancers: * Tulle Fabric: My dear, you want that light, dreamy look? **Dancewear Supply**, just off Covent Garden, carries the softest tulle imaginable. Go for **chiffon**, you can get away with one layer, for that modern **airiness**. * **Leotard: A high-quality, basic leotard in a flattering color, let's call it your **foundation**. **Barrie & More** has an impeccable range in *every shade*, darling. A hint: Look for those with **lycra**, keeps it looking sharp all evening! * Beaded Embroidery: Darling, a touch of **sparkle** is crucial! The bead department at **Liberty** is pure delight. For that **magical effect**, opt for tiny seed beads in your chosen shades. A hint, **delicate flowers** on your tutu are utterly **divine** this summer! * Sequins: **Sew, Sew, Sew**, on **Tottenham Court Road**, they have all your sequined needs! Now, I'm thinking a few **tiny sparkles** to accentuate your leotard or on a single layer of tulle on your tutu. Just a *hint* of shimmer for maximum impact. * Elastic: **Simply Sew**, just a stones throw from Oxford Circus, has your elastics. You want a strong, *non-snapping* variety. The **secret**: always sew it to your **leotard** before the sequins! And never forget **the safety pins** for your tutu, they *must* be discreet! * Fabric Scissors: Now, the only ones that cut **tulle** perfectly are the trusty **Kai scissors** from **John Lewis**. A good, *sharp* cut and your **tutu** will always fall gracefully. Remember, my loves, designing is like creating a magical **illusion**, a touch of **poetry** on the stage. It’s not just about *looking* stunning, it's about **feeling** confident and graceful. With a touch of **individuality**, your summer look will be absolutely **unforgettable**.
