Darling,
It's April and that means the world's most fashionable ballet dancers will be looking for the perfect Spring tutu. You simply can't wear last season's dusty tulle, no dear, you need a little **something** special to lift you out of those dreary winter blues.
Well, fret no more, because Madame M's got you covered. We're bringing you a little piece of Parisian chic straight from my own private workshop! Just follow this fool-proof recipe, darling, and you'll be dancing to a symphony of compliments.
**Let's get down to the nitty-gritty:**
1. Fabric, Fabric, Fabric:
* We’re starting with the star of the show - tulle, and you need the finest, most delicate. **Laine Rouhier’s ** tulles are divine! Think sheer silk, so delicate you could almost cry! Head to **Liberty Fabrics** for their exquisite selection, darlings. You can find an exquisite range from buttery soft silk tulle to **the most sensational ** colour palettes, just perfect for springtime, in their **exquisite ** Covent Garden store.
* You want your tulle in **delicious, flattering shades ** like a pastel mauve, pale jade green, a glorious sunflower yellow, or even a blush pink that matches a summer rose. Remember, dear, the key to a truly divine tutu is colour. **Oh, and be sure to keep an eye out for La Reine’s tulle from this season, a heavenly silk with a delicate swirl of golden thread woven into the fabric! Truly the pinnacle of ballet elegance, and so exclusive you will be the envy of all the other girls at the barre.
* Then for the leotard, opt for **a delectable stretch silk jersey** in the same beautiful colours, darling! I adore **Fabric Land**, as it has a vast range of the finest materials that are utterly divine! You won’t find better quality for the price anywhere else, so go forth and experiment. I wouldn't even dream of recommending something less than the absolute best!
2. Structure, darling:
* Remember, a beautiful tutu is more than just pretty fabrics; it’s got to have some proper structure. We need **that perfectly delicate, floaty silhouette **. The magic comes with **a layer of beautiful, crisp French cotton net. ** So delicate, so incredibly beautiful, it feels like a breath of fresh air.
* For a classic silhouette, you can opt for **an adorable frilled hem ** on your tulle, which looks utterly stunning on **both young ballerinas ** and seasoned dancers, such as ourselves. Or you could go with a layered, cascading hem that **looks oh-so-romantic,** perfect for that grand, final sequence. Remember dear, it's all about choosing the style that truly brings out your grace.
3. The Finishing Touches:
* You want that extra **je ne sais quoi, darling, so invest in ** some delightful embellishments. Delicate silk ribbons, sparkling beads, even a touch of ** hand-stitched embroidery ** could elevate your creation to sheer magnificence. I like to think of **embellishments like the jewels ** that grace a beautiful crown. They are the final touch, adding a flourish to a masterpiece!
* This season is all about the **natural** darling. If you want a really exquisite piece of **statement jewellery, ** try the wonderful new collection at **Grays Antique Market**, they have the **most elegant pieces, ** from vintage diamante brooches, perfectly delicate Victorian cameos to gorgeous pearls in natural and unique shapes. The ideal choice to accentuate the simplicity of your masterpiece.
* **Now, for that finishing flourish,** you've got to accessorize correctly! I simply cannot get enough of **those fabulous, ** exquisitely elegant **white satin ballet slippers from Bloch. ** The ones with a **subtle hint of glitter**, darling! A bit of sparkle never hurts, and they go so well with your Spring creations, giving the illusion of graceful light.
**My darlings, go forth and create your own masterpiece. You’re ready to turn heads, make your grand entrances, and simply command the stage.** Remember, with a touch of Parisian chic and **just a dash of Madame M magic** you can transform from just a ballerina to **a breathtaking muse.**
**Until next time, dearest! **
**X Madame M**
