Some weeks ago I had the pleasure to dress up a ballerina who performed her dance to an event in Venice for Carnival.
In order to create my design I decided to take inspiration from 18th century. My task was to sew a classic ballerina ensemble with a tulle skirt combined with a bodice inspired to a 18th century pierrot jacket.
Here are my pic of reference I found on the net:
And here is my sketch of the dress:
The dress is made of :ivory tulle, lace, light and dark blue taffeta, ivory satin, sequins and pearls of different shapes and colours.
This is the result:
This is the only picture i took while I was sewing it:
And of course, in the end, here are some pics of Tania in her dress:
