cheap/no cost ballet clothes DIYs

late to dancewear Monday, but I wanted to share some easy DIYs I know of to spice up your ballet wardrobe without going bankrupt on Yumiko and Typha haha

- chop the gusset area of a too short leotard off to make a top with interesting straps or sleeves

- cheap fabric dye on ratty pink tights can make a pretty nice pair of dark coloured tights!

- make that tight top thing (might not work so well if you're bigger busted like me though!)

- chop some tights into shorts

- chop some leggings into 'biker' shorts

- sew a ruche in a scoop neck/back leo

- sew a ruche over the leg holes of a leo

- make an alignment belt out of elastic

- chop the feet off some long fuzzy socks to make ankle warmers
