Photo of Ashleigh Cecchetti International Ballet Competition 2011


Here is Ashleigh on stage at Manchester looking beautiful.
Tutu has a stretch velvet bodice and overskirt with cream and burgundy (hand dyed as I couldn't find any) net. There is a layer of fine cream net with gold glitter swirls on it, under the top layer. Trim is beautiful bullion and embroidered edging from a vintage sari I was lucky enough to find on ebay, I bought it with nothing special in mind to make from it, just before Ashkeigh came enquiring about a tutu. I also sprinkled a good number if Swarovski crystals on it too.

Congratulations Ash and thanks for the photo.
