The Tutu Revolution: A December Décor
Dearest dancers,
It’s December, the month for dreaming of snow, sugarplums, and of course, the ultimate holiday stage performance. This December, I say, let's **revolutionize** the ballet look. No more predictable, boring tulle. This is a chance to **dazzle** with **fresh, impactful designs**.
To help you achieve **ultimate stage glamour,** let me impart some tips and tricks I've learned over the years. It's all about finding that perfect balance between **classic ballet silhouette** and **eye-catching innovation** to truly make your tutu a show-stopping masterpiece. Our Goal: A Ballet Couture Masterpiece Think of a tutu that is *ethereal*, yes, but also **utterly current**! Think **Parisian chic** mixed with a dash of **London's bold style**— you'll get the idea! Let's start with a **bold colour**, think **Ruby Red, Royal Purple** - the deeper tones will give a **dramatic stage presence** as they really *pop* against the light.
As for fabrics, don't think just "tulle", we're going to push those creative boundaries. We need a **layered tulle** in a combination of a sheerest **tulle netting** and a slightly heavier **organza**, for the **illusion of movement**. The **key** is to let the *lights* play on the *fabric*, highlighting every twist and twirl.
Then, to add the final **splash of daring**, we will **incorporate sequins** (more on that below)! But remember, less is more when it comes to sequins - too much can become gaudy, so **we'll be using a selective design.** Let the fabric speak volumes before we adorn with sequins. A Must-Have List Here's what you'll need:
* **Tulle:** * 10 metres of finest silk tulle netting (find the most delicate you can, *ballet blanc* like) in Ruby Red, **from:** _La Boutique de la Danse_ * 2 metres of silk organza in same shade. * **Tip:** **Overdye** some pale ivory tulle in your chosen colour to **give it extra depth and sophistication**. *Don't be afraid to play with shades! ** * **Embellishments** : * **A small jar of iridescent, small glass sequins**, **from:** _Harrods fabric and notions department_. (Just remember **less is more** - think "strategic" placement!) * **Other Essentials**: * Matching **leotard**. _ (I recommend black as it creates the right dramatic contrast. Think about what works best with your body.) * Elastic and a tutu-making tool - the **tutu maker**. (These can be purchased online or at any reputable ballet shop.) * **Sewing Machine**, for easy tulle layers, **with strong needles designed for fine fabrics**. * Bonus Tip! For that extra dramatic effect, think about creating an **asymmetrical** tutu by creating a "V" shape towards the back! (You're going to **love how it moves on stage**!) **Bringing it all Together** Once you've gathered your materials, here's a simple, step-by-step guide for the perfect December tutu:
1. **Design** your tutu pattern - you'll want a basic tutu silhouette. 2. **Layering:** Start with the tulle netting, gently layering each layer so it flows beautifully. The goal is for it to look like one **swirling cloud**. 3. **Add Structure:** Layer the organza over the top of the tulle netting, this will provide more support and **make the silhouette stronger** . 4. **Sparkle** is important for a show-stopping finish. Strategically attach your iridescent sequins on the top organza layer – I recommend outlining the V-shape for an impactful look. 5. **Add your finishing touch:** Use ribbons and a delicate trim. Don't forget your black leotard! **Confidence and Elegance:** As ballet dancers, we are performers. You must always wear your **confidence**. This dazzling design combined with the perfect performance, is the recipe to a dazzling season! **Good Luck! I look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!**
