Very very sparkly and very much the girl who will wear it<\/p>\n<p>Tutu3: Toned down strong colours though the use of whites and silvers. \u00a0A few teal crystals finished this tutu off perfectly around delicate tutu skirt edges<\/p>\n<p>Tutu4: Laces of gold through to browns and coppers on a beautiful ivory tutu base. \u00a0offset with light pink AB stones to keep it warm<\/p>\n<p>All 4 girls have also got head pieces. \u00a0In order we have a tiara, a long flower piece, a bun ring and a lace and flower side piece. \u00a0I have seen two tutus on so far and know that the dancers will work hard in their new tutus. \u00a0Happy hunting!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-351\" src=\"https:\/\/coalfacecostumes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20170203_090646-e1486113094644-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20170203_090646\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coalfacecostumes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20170203_090646-e1486113094644-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/coalfacecostumes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20170203_090646-e1486113094644-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first thing I must do is say Happy Birthday to my old dance teacher. \u00a0How lucky for it to fall on International Tutu Day! \u00a0Hope you have a wonderful day.
