Tutu Tuesday in Alexandra Victoria, Australia: A Celebration of Twirls and Tutus #tututuesday
It's a brand new week, which means one thing in my world: Tutu Tuesday! I'm so stoked to be bringing you my weekly dose of tutu inspiration from right here in Alexandra, Victoria, the heart of Aussie ballet. This week, I'm channeling the spirit of classic romanticism with a dreamy, ethereal tutu that's making me want to float through the air.
You guys know how much I love a classic, so this week I’m rocking a romantic, full-length tulle tutu. I picked it up from this amazing little dance shop down in the city. It’s the perfect blend of old-school elegance and modern edge. The layers and layers of tulle are soft and flowing, making me feel like I could take flight, while the detailed embroidery along the bodice adds a touch of sparkle. I'm styling it with a simple, elegant leotard in a deep emerald green, for a sophisticated look that's still oh-so-ballerina.
But Tutu Tuesday is more than just a fashion statement – it’s a celebration of dance and everything it represents. Here in Alexandra, Victoria, the ballet scene is alive and thriving. We’ve got amazing teachers, talented dancers, and a passionate community that supports the arts.
Now, let's talk about tutu styles because they're just *chef’s kiss* amazing! This week I'm channeling those graceful, flowing tutus of yore with this full-length beauty, but there are so many options to explore.
- Romantic, full-length tutus - For that classic ballerina vibe, these are a timeless favourite. They're all about dreamy layers of tulle and beautiful detail, like this week’s inspiration.
- The sassy, contemporary tutu – think modern designs and structured shapes with maybe some interesting asymmetry for a cutting-edge look. These tend to have less tulle and more of a dramatic silhouette, a definite ‘less is more’ approach.
- The "petit" or “mini” tutu - They’re often the most versatile and totally cute for classes. A little more freedom of movement and a little more ‘me’.
- The “practice tutu” – Let’s be honest, we’ve all worn one – maybe with a few less sequins! These usually are super simple but still bring that classic feel while allowing us to focus on technique and flexibility.
- Tutu skirts for everyday life - If you're feeling adventurous and want a little tutu magic outside the studio, try a tulle skirt. They can add instant glamour to your outfit, pair perfectly with casual shirts or jumpers, and look fab with sneakers!
- Go vintage – There are so many pre-loved beauties out there! If you love unique and eco-friendly fashion, hunting for a vintage tutu can be an exciting treasure hunt. Think iconic styles from eras like the 50s, 60s or even earlier!
Whether you’re rocking a tutu to the studio, out on the town, or just in your living room, let’s show our love for this fabulous garment, celebrate our community, and make Alexandra, Victoria known for its tutu magic.
