Darlings! November is upon us and that means one thing; time for a wardrobe refresh! It's been far too long since a new tutu has graced our stages, so this month we are diving deep into creating the most fabulous, most talked-about leotard or tutu this side of the River Thames.
Think back to the iconic looks, the ones that have stood the test of time and set trends ablaze. A touch of the classical with a dash of contemporary, a smattering of Parisian chic, and voila, the ultimate creation will emerge.
Our design inspiration is all about taking a simple silhouette and turning it into a dazzling masterpiece. The secret, you ask? Exquisite detailing, darlings!
First, we'll need a pristine, smooth leotard or a traditional tutu. This is our blank canvas. I recommend a classic colour - think ivory or a cool grey - so that our embellishments really pop!
Now, let's get into the fun! For that captivating edge, I suggest a scattering of delicately placed rhinestones or perhaps even Swarovski crystals.
Now, for the pièce de résistance, we will be making the tutu (or even the leotard) just slightly more risqué! A peek of lace edging along the neckline or a tantalising sheer overlay can make all the difference, adding a hint of intrigue without ever straying into anything inappropriate.
Remember, when it comes to your onstage attire, a bit of extravagance never hurts! This November, we want our designs to stand out, so let's give them an unforgettable touch. It's time to sparkle!
