Short answer — where to look
- Mid‑range / local brand stores: Love, Bonito (Singapore-based) and similar mall brands often carry pastel, tulle and chiffon dresses that fit the “balletcore” look. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Online multi‑brand retailers in Singapore: Zalora (big local selection), Pomelo and ASOS/Zara/H&M online storefronts serving SG — good for pastel sheers and tulle overlays. (Carousell.sg)
- Pre‑owned / local marketplace: Carousell Singapore has many tulle/sheer/pastel dresses (new & preloved) tagged “balletcore,” “tulle” or “sheer.” Great for one‑off finds. (Carousell.sg)
- Independent boutiques & shopping streets: Haji Lane, Arab Street and Bugis / Bugis+ area (small indie boutiques) — you’ll find romantic tulle, chiffon and coquette styles there. (These neighbourhoods are known for indie/fashion boutiques.) (Carousell.sg)
- Vintage and handmade marketplaces: Etsy and local vintage sellers/shops — good for unique pastel mesh or vintage chiffon pieces. (Etsy.com)
Where to shop specifically (online + physical)
- Love, Bonito — Singapore brand with frequent feminine silhouettes and pastel collections; check their SG site or Orchard/ionic mall stores. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Zalora Singapore — large selection and filters for fabric (tulle/chiffon), colour (pastel) and style (party/dress). Good first stop to compare many brands at once. (Carousell.sg)
- H&M, Zara, & Other Stories (Orchard/ION, VivoCity, Jewel etc.) — fast‑fashion stores regularly release tulle and sheer pastel dresses in seasonal drops. Search their Singapore online shops and stores on Orchard Road. (poshmark.com)
- Carousell Singapore — search terms: “tulle dress”, “sheer dress”, “pastel dress”, “balletcore”. Many listings are local so you can view items in person or meet up. (Carousell.sg)

Practical tips to find the exact “balletcore pastel sheer” dresses
- Search keywords: “tulle”, “sheer”, “mesh”, “chiffon”, “tulle overlay”, “pastel pink/blue/lavender/butter”, plus “balletcore”, “coquette”, “fairycore” or “romantic”. Use these on Zalora, Carousell and store sites. (Carousell.sg)
- Check lining and opacity: many sheer/tulle dresses are lined in the body but have sheer sleeves/overlay; if it’s fully sheer you’ll need a slip or bodysuit underneath. (Product pages usually list lining.) (Carousell.sg)
- Try rental or preloved if you want statement tulle (cheaper and eco‑friendly): look on Carousell for short‑term hires or preowned finds. (Carousell.sg)
- Visit Haji Lane / Bugis on weekends for indie boutiques and one‑off pastel pieces — sellers there often carry feminine, balletcore‑adjacent styles. (Carousell.sg)
