| Bathilde (center) meeting Albrecht in the forest |
Back in 2010 our local ballet company put on a full length Giselle. Talented local designer,
Scott Dolphin designed Giselle, Myrtha and the Willis costumes and created their gorgeous bodices and Myrtha's headpiece. Together with a friend and my daughter, I created the Willis tutus and their veils. I made headpieces for Bathilde (braided velvet edge to resemble Italian hair taping and a hand-embroidered pearl snood) and her lady-in-waiting (a black velvet "bonnet" with ostrich plumes and black and white snood).

For the 2014 production I was asked to create stretch dance boots for the men. Hilarion's boots had special strapping on them so that they fit more tightly than the other boots.
There was a small video slide show of the 2014 show here:
