The TuTu Skirt?

In the Guardian (5 April) there was a fashion item pointing up the latest trend in skirts: the TuTu Skirt, an adapted ankle length, chiffon, lightweight fabric affair, layered and NOT sticky-out like a traditional ballet skirt.

Hmmm.....can't see it making much impact among the masses unless the masses are 6' tall plus and as thin as a stick of celery. Certainly wouldn't work for me: 5'1" and dumpy Bramley apple-shaped! It looked ultra stylish on the model in the accompanying pic but she looked all of 21, size 4 and veering into the anorexic zone. No, no, no.

Love the long ones, not the short, puffy ones. I wear mine with a vest, trainers and denim jacket in the Summer. Much cooler than jeans or shorts.

You are definitely a stylish lady 👍

Thank you. You wouldn't say that if you could see me lounging in my gilet covered in blue paint from decorating and my old baggy jeans grin

Sorry, I just need to share the prototype pièce de résistance! It's Margot Fonteyn, in rehearsal for Giselle.

Now we need appropriate shoes to go with them. wink

I think if you wear them in the daytime, they look good with trainers. My daughter has one similar to this, which she wears with big sloppy jumpers and trainers or boots.

My DGD must be ahead of the trend.

I remember many years ago we all went to a NT property to make Christmas decorations. It was very cold and she was wearing thick jumper, coat, tights, boots and a pink tulle ballet tutu. 😃

She would have been about six at the time.
