There were mums rushing about doing their school run with their tiny ballerinas trailing behind like mini swans in frilly, pink, "just for toddlers” tutus – those sweet, little ones! Then there were the stylish "on the go” women, the sort who probably own several pairs of high heels, confidently pairing a pastel-pink, calf-length tutu with their favorite blazer – so chic! And of course, we had the classic black swan ladies – black tulle and that hint of drama!
