It's not easy to pull off the ballerina look outside of a performance of Swan Lake, but with a tulle skirt you can get the same femininity in your wardrobe without resorting to a full - on tutu.
If it's the tutu effet you prefer your skirts to have — swap the junor ballet school assomble for a skirt that's made from a heavy thai silk (which sit's beautifully as a full circle skirt!)
