This picture was made in 2006,while I was studying as Erasmus student in Cluj-Napoca(Romania). It was a project where the main idea was to make a costume from not traditional material. My inspiration was Russian Ballet,very feminine and elegant theme. I used some metallic fabric for skirt or tutu, and nice tablecloth for corset. The head accessory was designed from scotch tape and 3 bast whisps, which were painted with textile colors.
Everything is 100% handmade! 
The Ballet
The inspiration for this collection was the ballet.
The costumes were specially created for the stage. The main part of every costume is tutu (ballet tutu), which is also used as an inspiration for even the collar. The most suitable fabric for these sketches is stiff organza, which will make a beautiful play with the light. The costume should also be decorated with handmade embroidery.
