- In a Tutu -

The tutu is a classic of romantic ballet. This essential element of women's costume, in its classical form, appeared in two stages. First, around 1830, the ballerina Marie Taglioni replaced the heavy, long, thick petticoats in use at the time with a light tulle dress that reached mid-calf. The aim was to create an ethereal and otherworldly impression, like a magical creature. With this, she achieved the illusion of floating on stage; the public loved it, and the long ancestor of the tutu became a symbol of romantic ballet.

Towards the end of the 19th century, especially in Russia with the choreographer Marius Petipa, the tutu underwent a radical transformation. In ballets like Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, the skirt became much shorter, stiffer, and flatter around the hips. Why? Because the choreography became technically far more complex, and to fully appreciate it, one needed to see the legs and the lines of the body.

To complement the tutu, it would be interesting to pair it with mid-thigh stockings and heeled shoes (the idea here is not to dress like a classical dancer, only to borrow the tutu).

Depending on the ambient temperature and the duration of the session, the outfit can be paired with a pink top such as this very pretty synthetic fur coat very 70s.

Equipped like this, your Sissy will be able to remain operational for a good while, which is ideal for finding new places for your photos.

And of course, this coat can be removed at any time! Also note that since the tutu is by definition very short, you'll need to make sure your sissy is wearing appropriate underwear!
