September's Enchanting Ballet Looks: The Dance Floor's Newest Darlings!
Chérie, it’s September! The air has that crisp autumnal nip, the days are shorter, and we are all back in the studio, ready to unleash our inner swans and fairies once more. And what could be more inspiring than a new costume?
This month, it’s all about elegant simplicity and ethereal textures. We want a look that is both timeless and daring.
For the Tutu:
This season's must-have is a blush pink tulle tutu with a delicate feathered trim. The color evokes the soft hues of twilight and is supremely flattering on all skin tones. Choose a fluffy, airy tulle to ensure maximum bounce and movement. You want to glide through the dance floor like a whisper of a dream, darling.
* Tulle:
* Pick up some luscious tulle at **Dancewear Direct**, or maybe **Danceworld**, for a beautiful lightweight fabric that catches the light.
* Feathers:
* Go for a few soft, wispy ostrich feathers to give the skirt that extra touch of grandeur. Look for **Etsy** or **Amazon** to find beautiful, ethically-sourced plumes in different sizes.
* Waistband:
* You'll want a slender waistband, maybe satin or grosgrain, in a shade that matches the blush perfectly. **Your local haberdashery** will be a godsend here. They have all the fabrics imaginable and their expert eye will help you choose just the right one.
For the Leotard:
This month’s winning look for leotards features a dramatic silhouette – think, a beautiful, deep V-neck and a graceful open back, adorned with delicate beaded detailing. For a pop of glamour, why not a subtle holographic sparkle, perfect for that stage shimmer.
* Base Leotard:
* Pick a comfortable and supportive base, either a sleek black or a stunning plum color, in a beautiful, fine microfiber or Italian stretch-fabric from **Motionwear** or **Freedance** . It's important to find a cut that fits your shape beautifully and makes you feel like a prima ballerina!
* Beaded Trim:
* For a touch of classic sophistication, consider adding a dainty beaded trim to the bodice. This delicate addition brings elegance and catches the stage lights exquisitely.
* A simple online search for ‘**beaded trim**’ will uncover numerous shops, like **Sew Much More** or **Amazon**. You could also explore **local haberdasheries**.
* Sparkle & Sheen:
* You can make it oh-so-dazzling with the right sparkle! I adore **Crystals of a Princess’** holographic fabric. This dazzling fabric is both mesmerizing and modern, making the perfect contrast with the delicate beads.
Don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun. Mix and match different fabrics, textures and colors. And always remember, chérie, confidence is the most essential accessory. So wear your new creation with a smile, a sassy flick of your wrist, and remember, it's not the costume that makes the dancer, but the spirit you bring to it. Happy dancing, darling!
