Darling, let’s get those little pink hearts beating again! This month, it’s all about designing a tutu and leotard combination that’s guaranteed to steal the show!
Now, you know I’ve been on this stage for over 30 years, so let me tell you: trends come and go. But a well-designed tutu, like a classic black dress, never goes out of style! This month, I’m envisioning something sophisticated, edgy, and with a hint of old-world charm. Think romanticism meets Parisian chic!
Here’s what we’ll need:
- A tutu: It’s the pièce de résistance, so don’t skimp! Choose a 'classic' single layer tutu with soft tulle in a luxurious, elegant shade like a deep, dusky pink or a cool, deep teal.
- Leotard: A luxurious silk or velvet fabric. Let's go for a vintage, romantic vibe with a black lace appliquéd top. You’ll need some strong elastic for the straps - look for those exquisite satin ribbons. For a finishing touch, consider adding some diamante or crystal embellishments around the neckline and down the straps for added sparkle!
- Matching tights: If you're choosing a colour that's less common, get those to match, in the exact same shade.
- Embroidered ballet shoes: For a delicate touch of sparkle, go for a shoe with exquisite detailing. It’s that final, tiny flourish that elevates your whole look.
Now, let's talk sourcing:
- For tutus, I swear by Freed of London. They’re absolute specialists and offer incredible craftsmanship.
