Peaseblossom

Pease-Blossom's costume is a knee-length tutu of multiple layers of tulle, lace and organza. It has been chopped into to give a more "other-worldly" woodland-sprite effect than would have been achieved with a classical romantic tutu.

Colours were inspired by classic sweetpea flowers - shades of purple, lilac, pink and green. The lightly corseted bodice is in a rich peacock green, lacing at the back. The central bodice panel is formed of iridescent layers of organza, net and sequinned tulles, highlighted with silk sweetpea flowers. Please contact us if you are interested in having this costume made to order. Colour and decoration possibilities are endless!

Moth

Moth's costume is a knee-length tutu of multiple layers of tulle, organza and lace. It has been chopped into to give a more "other-worldly" woodland-sprite effect than would have been achieved with a classical clean-edged tutu.

Colours were inspired by the wings of a typical silk moth - shades of lilac, beige and rich browns. The lightly corseted bodice is in a grey blue silk, lacing at the back. The central bodice panel is formed of layers of crushed velvet, organza and sequinned tulles, highlighted with silk flowers.
