Designed to order for UK ballet competitions, this tutu was constructed in royal blue with gold decoration. The bodice was a silk dupion, perfectly matched (from six other "nearly there" blues!) to the net skirts.
The bodice and skirt overlay are embellished with gold appliqué-work and beaded with gold sequins which constantly sparkle as the dancer moves.
The short, stiff plate-shaped tutu skirt starts as black at the knickers, alternating black and blue nets for interest.
At present, this costume can be reproduced exactly as shown as a made-to-measure tutu. It was designed for a young dancer with memorably red hair on whom it will look extremely effective. The same design can be executed in different colour combinations - gold on burgundy, silver on white or red on black would be equally impressive.
A tutu with this amount of decoration, made to measure to order is £550 .
