Pink Classical Tutu with Bra Top


This was made for demi Soloists for Le Corsaire.  The Soloists wore blue ones.  Bright pink and gold was gorgeous on the stage.
When I'm asked to make a bra top,there a two things that I think important.  It really has to be secure and it can't be too sexy.  I design the shape those in my mind.  I was asked to make top with stretch fabric so it can be used by dancers with different body sized, but bra top definitely need boning to support.  Otherwise, it won't be stable for those who have larger breast.  That's the last thing for a dancer to worry about when they are on stage.

Arabian


This is a costumes for Arabian in Nutcracker 2nd Act.  The bra top is made with boning and it is very secure on the dancer.  It's not made like a cupped bra, the breasts are held very well in it so the dancer can dance without worrying about an accident.
The pants are cut so the dancer can do split.  It is not too loose on the dancer because this version of Arabian was more acrobatic.  So it needed to be easy to move around.
Later a classical tutu was made to match this top for Le Corsaire.
