Darling, September is the perfect time to embrace the dramatic and ethereal – it’s all about swirling silks and luxurious velvets. The stage is yours this month, so get ready to command attention in a truly iconic tutu!
Think beyond the standard tulle. For a look that’s both captivating and chic, we need to consider the colour. Think deep midnight blues and opulent emeralds for a sophisticated touch that’s utterly regal. And the cut? Let's forget those stuffy traditional forms. Embrace an asymmetric design for a touch of avant-garde that will leave the audience breathless. A single flowing, draped panel in the back adds movement and drama with every pirouette. Now, let's get started.
First things first, our tools! Here’s your essential shopping list:
- **Midnight Blue Silk: **A rich, heavyweight silk, shimmering and captivating under stage lights. Find yours at *The Fabric Store on Bond Street, London* – they have a fantastic selection!
- **Emerald Velvet: **Choose a velvety, luxurious fabric with some stretch to hug your curves. Visit *The Sewing Room in Notting Hill* – they have some absolutely breathtaking velvets. Don't forget the luxurious velvet trim too – they’re a wonderful finishing touch.
- **Tulle, a touch of the Dramatic:** Get yourself some light, transparent tulle – choose a dark charcoal colour to compliment the midnight blue. *Judd Fabrics in Soho* has a wonderful range.
- **Luxurious Black Feather Boa:** This will accentuate the dramatic asymmetric shape and create an air of mystique and drama as you dance. You can find these beauties at *A Touch of Feather in Chelsea.*
- **A Touch of Sparkle:** Don’t forget that signature sparkle, darling. Get yourself some silver or midnight blue diamante trims to highlight the silhouette of your design – they will look heavenly in the stage lights. *The Bead Bazaar* in Mayfair has all sorts of embellishments.
Remember darling, less is more with embellishment, you want to add the drama without overshadowing your beauty!
To make this truly a masterpiece, add a stunning, luxurious leotard:
- **Emerald Green Satin Leotard:** Choose a high-cut, figure-hugging style. We are looking for an incredibly luxurious feel, to match the opulent design of the skirt! A black velvet ribbon along the top with a luxurious feather trim and some silver diamante embellishments will truly accentuate the look.
Now go out there and make September a night to remember darling!
