Darlings! This month's theme is all about bold statement pieces, and what better way to express yourself than with a show-stopping tutu or leotard that turns heads and whispers "divine"?
So put on your favourite blush-toned lipstick and grab a glass of champagne, because today, I'm going to spill all the secrets of designing the most exquisite ensemble this February!
Let's Start with the Tutu! * The Perfect Tulle: Opt for a luxurious silk tulle that billows like clouds and dances with each movement. * Get Those Layers: Create a cloud-like effect with several layers of tulle, creating depth and volume. * Add the Sparkle: Embellish your tulle with shimmering sequins, delicate embroidery, or dazzling rhinestones. Go for an arrangement that feels both refined and whimsical, darling. * Where to find it? For premium tulle and sequins, you can't beat **M.M. LaFleur** and **Dancewear** on **Oxford Street**, darling. * A Little Secret: The soft, gentle colour of rose gold will always make an impact. But, of course, choose a colour that best compliments your skin tone and reflects your inner goddess.Now for the Leotard, darlings! * Fit like a Glove: A leotard should fit close to your body, with a smooth, clean line. Avoid anything too tight or loose - remember, we want elegant, not awkward, darling! * Choose your fabric wisely! Go for a material that moves with you. Choose either **Lycra** or **spandex** for ultimate comfort and flexibility. * Ditch the Boring Black!: Embrace pops of colour. Choose shades that match your personality and reflect the vibrancy of your dance. Don't be afraid to try out blush pink, teal blue, or vibrant fuchsia, darling! * Extra, Extra, Read All About It!: Experiment with dramatic details - lace overlays, beaded straps, or cutouts can make a striking statement. Remember to have fun! * The perfect Finishing Touch: For this season, add an alluring neckline like a "sweetheart" or a "v-shaped" that adds a touch of class to any leotard. * Where to find it: **Lilly's Boutique**, a little gem in **South Kensington** has fantastic choices, my love.
**Final Flourish: Make it Your Own** To really make it *your* look, darling, personalize it! You can add feathers, beaded embellishments, or even custom embroidery. Don't forget the perfect hair and makeup, of course. And when you walk out onto that stage, *radiate*!
