A rainbow of skirts and two chiffon dresses:
A few weeks ago I started on a new project, making some costumes for a dance recital for a Christian dance school. After meeting with the teacher, talking about the themes of the recital and drawing sketches, I set to work.Six colorful skirts and gold sashes |
Two teenaged girls were dancing a piece called the Beauty of ballet. The teacher and I decided that flowing, chiffon dresses in pastels with circlets of flowers would be appropriate.
Dress design and beginnings of flower circlets |
The head pieces will have pastel colored silk flowers, some dyed to match the dress colors and a little sparkle.
The is a much smaller scale project but it has been challenging and fun because I am designing for small children and teenagers.
The little skirts and sashes are done. I'll add more photos as the chiffon dresses and flower circlets come along.
Hilary did such a lovely job with these costumes! I and the dancers were so happy with them!
