Greetings, fellow tutu enthusiasts! Welcome back to Pink-Tutu.com, your one-stop shop for all things twirly, whimsical, and, of course, pink! It’s me, your favourite Derbyshire-born ballerina and time-travelling fashionista, Emma, here to transport you through time with another #TutuTuesday. Today we're heading back to 1903 to see what ballet history had in store!
Let's start with the fashion, shall we? Now, 1903 was all about elegance, dear readers. Imagine delicate lace, shimmering silk, and those perfectly shaped corsets, accentuating every curve! Speaking of curves, tutus weren't quite as voluminous back then, but they still possessed that essential gracefulness and beauty. They were made of layers upon layers of tulle and often featured hand-sewn embellishments, making them true works of art. I simply adore the intricate detail. And, as for the colour, you can never go wrong with a classic white, naturally! I bet you're thinking about the pink tulle possibilities, too, right?
I've recently discovered a fascinating ballet troupe travelling across the globe - the Ballets Russes. Imagine the buzz! It's been attracting huge crowds everywhere. Now, I can't tell you exactly what happened on this very day in history, but we can be certain that these dancers were making waves with their innovative movements and spectacular stage presence! Imagine the excitement! A true visual feast!
Speaking of feasts for the eyes, have you noticed that London theatres are bursting with exciting new plays? What an amazing period to be a fan of the performing arts, eh? The energy is incredible, the crowds are fantastic, and you simply can't miss out!
And just think about it: This was the era when cars were still fairly new. It was truly a whirlwind of change, and I'm happy to have caught a glimpse of it in my time travelling adventures!
For today's #TutuTuesday, I challenge you all to think about how fashion evolves with time! Just like our tutus, they become more daring and extravagant, always surprising us with the newest trends!
I can't wait to continue our ballet journey together. Next Tuesday, I'll take you on another trip down memory lane, filled with tutus and captivating moments from ballet's colourful history. Until then, remember to wear your tutu with pride, keep your heart filled with joy, and let your dreams take flight. Happy Twirling!
Love,
Emma www.pink-tutu.com
