Gloucester's Tutu Tuesday: A Rainbow of Sparkle & Sass

It's Tutu Tuesday in Gloucester, darlings, and you know what that means… A whirlwind of pink, tulle, and glitter, all wrapped up in a celebration of all things tutus! I mean, is there a better way to kick off a scorching summer day than with a little pirouette in a shimmering tulle masterpiece? Honestly, you tell me!

Let's face it, there's nothing more magical than a tutu, especially on a gloriously sunny day like this! Just like a butterfly flitting through a field of wildflowers, we embrace the summer with a whole new kind of elegance, and glitz is definitely a must! Whether you're rocking a romantic soft-tutu, fluttering with grace, or channeling your inner ballerina in a structured, classic, professional style, the options are endless! You can even get creative and mix and match your favourite styles! Think about bold layers of ruffles on a sparkly short tutu, topped off with a billowing, dreamy tulle overskirt. We can also transform those plain, old everyday skirts with a quick fix! A touch of lace, ribbon, or feather trim can work wonders on a simple, cotton fabric. The important thing is to let your imagination run wild!

Tutus are no longer just for ballerinas! Let's face it, the tutu has evolved. It’s now the ultimate summertime statement, embracing every single one of us with open arms (and maybe a couple of glittery sleeves!) So whether you choose a full-length tutu, a short one, or a tutu-skirt, don't be afraid to embrace your inner-diva and get out there!

But wait! There's more... The theme of Tutu Tuesday in Gloucester isn't just about tutus (though that's the core, of course!). We're embracing the magical with a splash of unicorn magic! Think rainbows, sparkles, glitter, and everything sweet!

Imagine floating around on a summer day in a dazzling tutu decorated with unicorn motifs. The pastel colour combinations alone are enough to set your heart aflutter! This year, the most popular style is a soft, flowing tulle tutu, with silky, rainbow gradients and shimmering silver glitter scattered throughout. You can even take it a step further by adding a gorgeous unicorn horn headband or a dazzling unicorn-themed belt. Remember, there are no limits! Just be prepared for everyone stopping you in the street and asking, "where did you get that stunning unicorn tutu?". It's an inevitable question. I know!

To top off the whole look, what could be more fitting than a bold pair of disco platform heels, perfectly polished to a shiny gleam? These babies are sure to catch every eye and perfectly compliment a stunning tutu, as we twirl through Gloucester with a confident smile! Let's not forget a cute summer hat with pastel pink or rainbow accents, just to complete the whole look.

We're a community united by tutus and glitter ( and, let’s be honest, the shared joy of dancing to a bit of Disco music!) You can bet your bottom dollar that the streets of Gloucester are going to be buzzing with glitter, sequins, and every shade of rainbow! So put on your most magical tutu, find your favourite glitter, and come celebrate Tutu Tuesday with us! You won’t regret it. Promise!
