Temptress Skirt and the Penelope Top
I absolutely adore the side split on this skirt; it adds a touch of sexiness and drama! This design makes it incredibly versatile for various dance styles, including Ballroom, Smooth, and even Paso Doble. The way it flows with movement is just fantastic. I've paired this skirt with the Penelope top, which I find to be very flattering. The shape of the top is lovely, and the slash neckline allows for the option of wearing it off the shoulder, adding an extra flair to the outfit.
Cressida Ballroom Skirt and Charlotte Top
The silhouette of the skirt with the petal shaped hem truly captivates me; it's so on trend right now in dance fashion. I adore how it fits and the graceful way it flares out. Pairing it with the Charlotte top creates a stunning combination. The sheer stretch net beautifully contrasts with the solid skirt, flattering the arms perfectly. The low cowl back is a lovely touch, with the subtle Chrisanne Clover logo peeking through at the center back. Altogether, it makes for a sophisticated outfit and dancing in it feels amazing.
Daphne Ballroom Dress
The georgette float effect sleeves are absolutely stunning and sway beautifully during dance. The flared skirt complements the movement wonderfully, while the keyhole back adds a touch of sophistication. This look is Alex's favourite from the collection on me! Although the georgette panels can be tied at the front for a different style, I prefer to leave them loose and allow them to flow naturally. The fit and flare design of the dress is incredibly flattering, and the soft crepe fabric feels delightful against my skin.
Eternity Top and Emanuela Trousers
I absolutely adore these trousers; they truly embody everything you could desire in a pair of dance pants! The sharp pin tuck detail brings a sophisticated flair, and the splits from calf to ankle are a brilliant feature that allows for easy movement without the risk of tripping over them. The tie option is fantastic, providing that extra bit of security to prevent any mishaps with the fabric. I'm so excited to wear these while teaching! I've styled them with the eternity top for a polished and elegant look.
Isla Top and Anya Trousers
These palazzo trousers are absolutely fantastic; they look just like a ballroom skirt! The flared trouser design combined with the tie detail adds a touch of elegance, and I adore how they flow with every step. Pairing them with the Isla top is a brilliant choice, as it beautifully complements the trousers, highlighting the graceful movement of the flared palazzo with its georgette cape and flowing drop hem. The stretch net back adds a sleek element, and the keyhole detail at the back provides a sophisticated touch to the overall look.
Favourite Pieces?
I adore the Cressida Ballroom skirt and the Emanuela trousers they are my 2 favourite pieces in this collection! With their design detailing of the skirts petal shaped hem, and the trousers pin tuck lines with calf splits with the added ties – perfection! The stretch crepe fabric makes all theses pieces feel so light, but soft and doesn’t make you sweat – this collection is so good!
