dancemum09 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hi all, DDs birthday is coming up and she’s particularly keen on a few new ballet skirts. Does anyone know of any good websites that sell nice ones? She loves the brand Bullet pointe but I’m reluctant to ship it from the USA - does anyone know where I can get those skirts in England? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTu Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Check out love lily dancewear. Dd loves their skirts. They are really well made & come in a beautiful selection of prints. I think they do one called stateside that is similar to the bulletpointe skirts. If it is bulletpointe that your dd wants though Just Ballet have started stocking it coz my dd has her eye on a few things there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola H Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 there's a number of UK based sellers on Ebay and Etsy 'Just Jess' / flicflac / flourishdancewear - whomi have purchased items from at various times ... and a friend of certain forum and TBR usual suspects who has just graduated from Huddersfield's costumery degree is in the process of setting up to do do bespoke stuff ( those of you who read Terpischore will be fully aware of the young lady lady in question ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacier Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi dancemum09 my daughter loves Ballet Skirts by Lucinda - a really diverse and interesting choice of fabrics (not just floral prints) and the fit and attention to detail is excellent. Lucinda is a professional ballerina so she understands how the skirts need to feel and move when you dance. The customer service is brilliant too. www.balletskirtsbylucinda.co.uk/ballet-skirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Brown Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 the lady who made my daughters' tutus makes ballet skirts - her daughter is a dancer so she has made them for a load of girls up at Ballet West or whatever the Scottish ballet place is called (sorry - ballet goes over my head). https://m.facebook.com/judithtokely/ she is lovely and very helpful - pictures on her facebook page and some for sale ready made I think but she mainly makes to order. worth a look 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice change from the chiffon wrap too.....surely won't be long before one of you industrious dance parents out there can get a similar UK made version on the market???? ps. The pale blue & grey are both coming up labelled as 'Dream' on your Website Shiela so not 100% sure which is which or available. What size would you recommend for slender 14 year old (wears either XS or S in leotards depending on make....) Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancefanatic Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I also make chiffon ballet skirts to order (Gloriosa Tutus on instagram) and have been thinking of making something similar to the bullet pointe design in as much as a short chiffon circle skirt on an elastic waistband with the dipped hem as I quite like doing a skirt with a difference. I’ll try to get a prototype up online this week for those interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Peanut, we have three colours in stock at the moment: Seafoam (turquoise green) Gunmetal (dark grey) and Dream (pale grey). You should be able to select your size and colour from the drop down boxes. For a slender 14 yr old I would suggest the XS size. We have a delivery due next week with other colours - we'll announce their arrival on FB, Insta and Twitter! Sx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Thanks Shiela debating whether or not to show these to the DD is bet she’ll love them so want them so I’ll be even more broke 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
