Tutus: not just for ballerinas anymore. From the opening credits of Sex and the City to Lara Flynn Boyle’s 2003 Golden Globe Awards dress, it’s obvious designers love to borrow from the dancer’s wardrobe.

Enter Ouma Clothing [shop here] with their ballerina-inspired party dresses that manage to directly reference the classic pink tutu without making the wearer look like a 5-year-old playing dress up. Between the fun and funky combinations of fabrics and the controlled volume of the tulle, these dresses are simultaneously elegant and whimsical.
