Darling, October! The air is crisper, the leaves are starting to turn, and we are all about to enter the most exciting time of year. Autumn is when fashion really shines, and ballet is no exception. So, are you ready to steal the spotlight this month with the most chic and **enchanting tutu** you can imagine? You know I'm always happy to help!
Think *deep emerald green* – a timeless colour that evokes elegance and mystique. Now imagine it paired with *silver accents*, maybe some sparkling embellishments around the hemline of the skirt. Doesn't that just **swoon?** And as for the leotard, let's opt for a delicate *off-white with a hint of champagne shimmer*. Pair that with *a velvet ribbon tied around the waist*, creating an exquisite touch. We need just the right blend of vintage elegance and modern flare, my dears.
Let's get started:
- Tutu Base:
- A classic multi-layered tulle skirt from *Bloomingdale's*.
- Find something with a medium stiffness, it must hold its shape but have some delicate flow. Think around 4 to 5 layers to get the right volume.
- The Special Touch:
- This is where we elevate the piece. Some luxurious silk ribbons, ideally in deep green. You can find beautiful ones at *John Lewis*.
- And remember those silver embellishments? Head over to *Liberty* - they always have the most exquisite pieces. A few silver leaves, perhaps, scattered subtly around the hem of the tutu? Just lovely, darlings.
- Leotard Base:
- The *Body Wrappers* online shop has some gorgeous, comfortable and beautifully-cut options. I'm thinking off-white with some beautiful mesh panels for an extra touch of femininity.
- Accessorising:
- We can't forget the details. That velvet ribbon? A beautiful option from *La Redoute*, choose one with a subtle sheen. And for those lovely shoes - *Freed of London* never disappoints with their stunning and supportive shoes.
And remember darlings, it's not about being *in* style, it's about being **you**, and *expressing yourself*. A well-chosen costume allows us to embrace our inner artist and move with confidence, grace, and a hint of **drama!** Enjoy the creation process. After all, we don't want to be just any ballerina - we want to be ** unforgettable.**
