Classical Ballet Tutus "Golden Lime Tutu"

Lime and gold silk tutu with violet net skirts, embellished with gold lace and beadwork

This tutu is constructed in an amazing fabric. It is a metallic silk dupion in a lilac shade, shot with soft lime green, which in some lights can resemble a rich bronze.

The short, stiff plate-shaped tutu skirt starts as black at the knickers, merging into lilac nets at the top. The bodice and edges of the top-skirt are embellished with gold lace and crystal drops which constantly sparkle as the dancer moves.

This is a one-off new "Rossetti" classical ballet tutu - available for sale to any dancer who fits it properly.
As with all Rossetti tutus, once this costume has been sold, it can still can be made-to-measure to your specifications; fabric, decoration and colour can be varied (please enquire).

All items are constructed to professional performance standards as used by the major UK ballet companies.
A tutu with this amount of decoration is £620 made-to-measure to order - including colour variations.
