Tutu Tuesday in Milton, New South Wales: A Whirlwind of Tulle and Tights! #tututuesday G’day, darlings! It's your gal, Lily, back with another edition of Tutu Tuesday, straight from the heart of Milton, New South Wales. We all know this Tuesday is dedicated to celebrating the iconic ballet staple: the tutu! So put on your best frock and let’s dive into the twirling wonder that is the world of tutus. This week I’m focusing on the versatility of the tutu – it’s not just for professional dancers! Let's be real, tutus are making a comeback. No longer just reserved for Swan Lakes and Sleeping Beauty performances, the tutu is gracing everything from festivals and fancy dress parties to everyday fashion. It's all about embracing a bit of fun and a touch of whimsical charm in your everyday life, and let’s be honest, what's more fun and whimsical than a tutu? Types of Tutus Speaking of tutu styles, did you know there are so many types of tutus? - The classic **Romantic tutu** (think airy, fluffy tulle and lots of volume). - The more structured and angular **Classical tutu** which usually features fewer layers, making it a tad less dramatic (still quite stunning, though!). - Then there’s the **Demi-tutu**, which is, basically a shortened version of the Romantic. These look pretty gorgeous with a simple top. We also have **Costume tutus**. These ones are designed specifically for performance, so they may be even more extravagant and elaborate, featuring beading, feathers, and even wings (yes, wings!). It’s important to remember a costume tutu is for the stage only! Now, when you think ballet in Australia, what comes to mind? Let’s talk about the Aussie Ballet scene, from the majestic **Australian Ballet** and the vibrant **Queensland Ballet** right here in Milton. **How to Style a Tutu** - **Dress it up for an evening out:** A classic black tutu, paired with a silky black top and killer heels will definitely make you the centre of attention at that next event. A sleek up-do adds to the dramatic look. - **Rock the bohemian vibe**: Think flower crown, suede boots, and a simple crop top for an edgy yet chic outfit. This is one of my faves, perfect for festival season. - **For casual fun:** Pair your favourite tutu with a plain tee or even a band tee and comfy sneakers! I love throwing on my tutu on weekend mornings when I’m running errands with my coffee in hand! And that brings us to the ultimate **#TutuTuesday** trend - the hashtag! Whether you're a professional dancer, a tutu enthusiast or just looking for a reason to add some fun to your Tuesday, get those tutus on, snap a pic and share with #tututuesday !
