For many years now I have been making ballet skirts for my beautiful, talented daughter, who has recently graduated from full time vocational training. Along with skirts I have also made her countless dance and theatrical costumes for competitions and various performances. Four years ago I started making costumes for a local contemporary ballet company, Chantry Dance, for their annual UK tours - everything from steampunk inspired costumes for ‘Dracula - Welcome to D’s’ to kitting out Alice, Hatter and the rest of the gang for ‘Alice - Wonderland through the Looking Glass’. These wonderful, creative experiences, along with a long time fascination with tutus and their construction, lead to my decision to start this business. I have spent almost 2 years taking courses in tutu construction, experimenting, perfecting various techniques and working on creating ballet skirts with a beautiful shape and movement. I realise every dancer is an individual, with different tastes and so try to offer different styles and patterns. The skirts shown here are made in standard sizes but if you would prefer a custom make please contact me with your requirements - I can change the size, length or even just change the colour of the ties. I am currently working on some ready to wear stretch tutus and some test skirts for 2 additional lengths in the ballet wrap skirts - all of which will be available to purchase early in the new year.
