This week, we peek behind the curtain of tutu making with Lucy Simpson, who learned this intricate craft during Covid.

We dive into the mysterious, enchanting world of hoops, layers, nets, and bodices, discovering why tutu makers use unexpected tools like fishing nets and forks in their creations.

Lucy also lets us in on the secret life of a tutu in a professional ballet company—how each one is altered multiple times to fit different dancers’ bodies, has graced the stage, been soaked in sweat, and undergone cleanings over and over again.

💫 👗 Tune in for this sparkly episode and discover the hidden artistry behind ballet's most iconic costume!
