Darling, Let's Design the Tutu of the Year!
As the new year dawns, we all crave a fresh start. For us ballerinas, this means a new look, a new attitude, a new... tutu!
This year, forget the frills and the feathers, darlings. It's all about sharp, modern lines with a touch of old Hollywood glamour. Think Audrey Hepburn, but in pointe shoes, with a dash of "Moulin Rouge" thrown in for good measure.
Here's how to make your own dazzling design, the envy of all the girls at the barre!
Step One: Fabric, My Darling, Fabric!
We want something sleek, shimmering, and utterly divine. I'm smitten with this stretch satin from Liberty London. Its lustre is simply to die for! A beautiful silk chiffon, however, would also give the illusion of ethereal lightness, perfect for pirouettes.
Step Two: A Touch of Embellishment, But Never Overdone
Swarovski crystals, dear! They’re positively de rigueur. Choose a single colour – I recommend a dramatic sapphire, perhaps? – and use sparingly to frame the neckline or cascade down the bodice in a delicate pattern. Forget sequins, they're positively vulgar!
Step Three: The Magic of the Leotard
It needs to be an immaculate blank canvas for our spectacular tutu. I swear by the exquisite leotards from Danskin. Their cut is utterly flattering and they come in an array of sublime colours. A simple black or blush would make our design truly stand out, like a pearl on a black velvet cushion.
Step Four: It's All in the Detail, My Darling
Finally, consider a luxurious touch. For our "Old Hollywood Glamour," we'll use some velvet ribbon - perhaps burgundy or sapphire – to add a touch of sumptuousness to the leotard straps or bodice. And, of course, our trusty seamstress for impeccable craftsmanship!
So, my darlings, there you have it. A timeless, elegant look with a dash of whimsy. Ready to step onto the stage in the ultimate 2005 tutu!
