Darling, September is here, and you know what that means - the start of the new dance season. It’s time to cast off those dreary summer whites and embrace the vibrancy of autumn in a look that truly sparkles. So let’s get those creative juices flowing and create the *must-have* leotard and tutu combination that will set your classes and performances alight!
The leotard:
We’re moving away from the classic, demure styles. This September is about *attitude*. Think a deep emerald green, reminiscent of the fading leaves. It’s bold, but sophisticated – a statement you can make in a simple but oh-so-chic leotard.
To elevate this, I suggest a touch of elegance: A lace inset at the back, just peeking out between your straps. This delicate detail, reminiscent of vintage lingerie, adds a touch of *femininity*. Now, imagine that beautiful lace contrasted against the sleek emerald fabric… divine!
Find your leotard:
*But, what good is a sensational leotard without a tutu to complement it?
Here’s the secret: This season, it’s all about movement. Forget those heavy, structured tutus. This year, it's all about airiness, about letting the fabric whisper as you glide across the stage. My inspiration is a forest after a light snowfall - ethereal and breathtaking.
Imagine a wispy tutu, a cloud of shimmering white, perhaps a soft lilac for an added touch of colour. This is a tutu for flowing movement - picture a graceful spin, the light catching the layers, and cascading like snowflakes. It's pure magic.
Here are some essential pieces you’ll need for this creation:
*Now that you have the components, get crafting! With a little sewing expertise and a generous amount of ballet-infused imagination, you'll create a look that is both striking and elegant.
And when you’re ready to show off your masterpiece, remember: the best looks are always the most confident.
