We bought the leaves haha it’s the most expensive item on the costume believe it or not.
They are from Macculloch and Wallis.
It’s fringe trimming and we just cut the leaves off :-)
I’m sure you can see it (small venue I’ve heard) but it doesn’t really matter as details are often lost.
Have a look at the new Swan Lake costumes at ROH. You can’t see any details but if it’s not there you miss it :-)

Done stoning today. Might need more on the plate but we shall see after the rehearsals how it will look. Our tutor told me to add more to the top of the bodice (and birtha) and so I did.
Over the nex week I’ll bead birds.

Another 'wow'. I assume you made it before it was painted? Lol, daft question I suppose! What type of fabric paint was used? Though, being a costume, perhaps it doesn't need to be washable?

Actually, we dyed the (poly) lycra from Whaleys a light base colour first, thrn stitched it for the fitting. Elsa drew the lines and flower area on there as the dancer was wearing it. We then took it apart, and she painted everything flat, except the darts were kept in there.
I am not sure about the paints. The scales were done with the standard airbrush paint we have at uni and the rest was a special stretch binder she got from work experience.

I don’t have time to post photos but here’s a link to my Instagram with rehearsal photos. So happy with the result. Just a few tweaks on both costumes and the birds to bead.
