tutu in action

 
I returned from San Francisco last night.  Here are a  few photos of my daughter wearing her romantic tutu for Les Slyphides variation,  I made.  The costume was perfect fit. I didn't have to make any adjustments.  I added the sleeves and wings on arrival to get perfect placement.

We made the headpiece after I arrived in town and made a trip to Britex fabrics.  Britex is like a giant fabric candy store.  Not the least expensive place to shop at, but they have some wonderful buttons and ribbons etc.  It was like shopping at Nancy's sewing basket (still my favorite fabric shop in Seattle).

My daughter has let me know her displeasure in these photos, because she's looking at them technically not as a mama looking at beautiful daughter.  Her performance was flawless, and my husband and I are extremely proud of her.

romantic tutu for les slyphides

My daughter is performing in a competition this weekend, so it was time for mom to pull out the patterns, tulle, thread and create.  Here are two pics of the romantic tutu I did for her. The picture on the right looks kind of wonky on the top, but I know its right.   I wasn't quite finished when I took these.  I still had to attached the skirt to the top, and put elastic on for the straps.  She wants a sleeve as well.  Which I will take down with me on the weekend.  The little wings are usually seen in Les sylphides pieces, which she is one of the pieces she is doing.

I hope to get a few pictures of her wearing it. When I do, I will post them.
