Darling!

February, that glorious month of love, and as much as my heart flutters for all the romance in the air, my dear, I simply cannot resist the temptation of fashion, can I?

February is a fantastic month to unveil a dazzling new tutu or leotard, because with all the exciting performances, premieres, and recitals in full swing, darling, you will truly be the talk of the dance world with this new look! Now, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: when designing for a winning look, it's all about playing with a classic foundation and letting your creative soul blossom, you see.

So gather your sewing kit, your measuring tape, and your loveliest, shimmering fabric - because here’s the definitive guide for crafting a February tutu or leotard to steal the show!

* A quality, well-fitting leotard in a simple colour, perhaps black or white, or even a soft ivory to showcase the sparkle we will add - you can find this in the most divine boutiques such as:
• Freed of London for the most exquisite basics, darling!
• Grishko, an absolute icon, I tell you!
• Dancewear.co.uk is full of classic leotards at the best prices, darlings.
* A classic tutu, ideally with a good number of layers – it can be a romantic pastel colour like pale pink, peach, or mint – you can find these everywhere in shops but remember, darling, we will transform it so don't worry if it isn't exactly perfect already! I recommend:
• Ballet-shop.co.uk, simply bursting with gorgeous tulle options for you!
• Blochworld , for its wonderful quality.
* Fabric, now here is where we have fun! This month is all about **satin, chiffon and silk**, and darling, go for shimmering or velvet touches if you want a stunning touch of luxury and sophistication – the brighter, the bolder, the more delicious!
• Fabric.com a dream come true with literally endless fabrics to explore.
• Moodfabrics for truly luxurious textures!
* Embellishments are your friend! Think exquisite crystal trims, sequins, feathers - **and oh my, sequins!** We want the whole dance floor to gleam when we sashay through! - find some at:
• Millinery Store for the most heavenly feathers!
• The Bead Shop , a veritable treasure trove!
• Sew Essential , is absolutely brimming with embellishments galore, darlings.

Once you have the essentials gathered, darling, let your inner couturier reign free! **We are going to start with your tutu** – go wild! Embrace the romantic whimsy of February, use embellishments like tiny crystal hearts or flowers. A dash of feathers at the hem adds an elegant touch – just a hint! Remember darling, a bit goes a long way! Then, darling, it's time for your leotard! This is your chance for real drama. Take those leftover silks and satins, and create elegant ruffles at the neckline, perhaps with a little sequined embellishment – a single sparkly design at the bust, a sprinkle of feathers at the back... you really can make this design all your own!

The best part about this design, my darling, is that there is simply **no wrong way!** Follow the steps above and just let your own fashion flair blossom! If you find your imagination getting carried away, darling, I say, good!

Remember, the most fashionable creations come from a heart brimming with joy! So let your spirit fly!
