This has become a wonderful tradition on galadarling.com — one of my favourites! Every year, genius textile enchantress Lynne Bruning & I conspire to give away an original, handmade tutu to one lucky reader!

This year’s tutu is even more special… because it lights up & sparkles! The tutu contains 20 diamond white LED rhinestones, which sparkle & shimmer as you walk! The skirt itself is black on black satin. It’s a medium, & should fit most sizes!

I love it, & wish I owned one myself! I would totally wear it for last minute jaunts to the deli, while walking the dogs or riding my (imaginary) pink bicycle!

To your prom? On your upcoming whirlwind international book tour? While volunteering at a senior citizen centre? While putting together a bedroom set from IKEA? We want to know!

By the way, you’ll have to “like” my page to enter… Ain’t I a stinker?!

This contest is open to EVERYONE, & if a tutu isn’t quite your thing, you are welcome to enter on behalf of your relatives, besties, girlfriends or boyfriends who you think could use a little tutu FLAVOUR! The winner will be chosen on Saturday morning, so hop to it, babycakes!

P.S. If you’re clever & would like to make your own — perfect weekend project, no?! — Lynne made an Instructable!
