Darling,
February! The month of love, of course, but also of new beginnings. New Year resolutions, new you. And in the world of ballet, new, exquisite styles. What better way to say 'Bonjour February!' than to give your leotard and tutu a little makeover? A splash of colour, a hint of shimmer. You know me, I like my dancewear to be as fabulous as a first night performance. But let's not go overboard; it has to be chic, too.
**Let's talk colours.** This February, darling, it's all about coral. It's daring but not garish. It whispers of warmth, sunshine and joie de vivre. So think coral leotard, just a hint of salmon blush if you dare. And for your tutu? Go bold with layers of peach tulle, the fabric just skimming the skin for an elegant silhouette.
**Now for those details, darling.** This is where the magic happens. Here are some items you will need to create your signature look.
- A coral leotard from Dancewear Delights (they always have such divine options.)
- Soft, peach tulle (find this at any reputable fabric shop, dear).
- A few metres of sequined trim. The delicate kind, shimmering just enough to catch the light. Look at a store called 'Beaded Dreams'.
- A tiny, ornate diamante brooch. Go for something floral. It can be found at a small shop in Notting Hill called "The Embellisher" .
- Needle and thread. A good needle and strong thread, darlings, will work wonders.
**Your project: The most stylish February tutu:**
- First, gather your peach tulle. Sew it together to create a multi-layered, voluminous skirt. You don't want it to be too stiff, mind you. It should flow as if it is on a gentle breeze.
- Next, add that delicate sequined trim. Just a hint of sparkle on the bottom hem. But make sure the colours compliment your coral leotard.
- Finally, the jewel in the crown. Place the brooch near the waistline. Think of it as your finishing touch, a perfect little point of focus.
**My dears, you're ready. Now twirl.** This, darlings, is the tutu that says "Bonjour February," the tutu that makes heads turn. Just remember, it's not just about what you wear, but the confidence it brings. So walk, dance and twirl like the stars you are, in this perfect touch of coral, and a little bit of February magic.
